Ahead of Super Bowl LX, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel expressed minimal concern regarding quarterback Drake Maye's health. Maye, who sustained a right shoulder injury during the AFC Championship Game, didn't throw in the portion of practice open to media. This change in routine sparked concern, but Vrabel downplayed the issue, focusing on team preparation.

Maye himself has said he's feeling good and has had extra rest. The Patriots face the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 8. The team is also dealing with an ankle injury to linebacker Robert Spillane. Defensive coordinator Terrell Williams, who has been recovering from a health issue, will travel with the team, boosting morale.

Williams’ presence should provide a lift to the team. The Patriots are looking to end their season on a high note, and Maye's health is critical to their chances. The team's focus now shifts to game planning and ensuring everyone is ready for the Seahawks in Santa Clara, California.

With Maye's health seemingly not a major concern, the Patriots can concentrate on their game plan. The team's success in the Super Bowl hinges on Maye's performance and the overall execution of their offensive and defensive strategies against a tough Seattle team. Fans will be watching closely.
