The report spread across social media, local outlets, and national media, prompting Maye to be pressed on Tuesday by Boston radio hosts about the injury. He offered a brief reply, saying only, “I’m feeling good. I’m feeling good.”
The analysis came from Dr. David Chao, an online commentator known for injury reporting aimed at fantasy players and bettors. His assessment drew a mix of skepticism from fans and pundits as the story circulated.
On Wednesday, the Patriots’ injury report provided a degree of confirmation, listing Maye as “limited” in practice with the stated cause of a “right shoulder” injury, the day before the team’s first practice ahead of the Feb. 8 Super Bowl.
Observers initially dismissed the report, but the team’s listing consistent with a shoulder issue added weight to the discussion surrounding Maye’s readiness for the high-stakes two-week lead-up to the game.
This is a developing story as teams prepare for the Super Bowl. The summary below reflects reporting from Heavy Sports, with further details to follow as more information becomes available.
