SANTA CLARA, Calif. — New England Patriots fans can breathe a sigh of relief.
Quarterback Drake Maye was a full participant in practice Wednesday as the Patriots prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Sunday.
Maye was limited due a shoulder injury when New England practiced last week, and then he sat out the team’s Friday session because of an illness.
However, the 23-year-old was a full go at the team’s first official California practice, taking every rep with the first-team offense.
Ahead of the Wednesday workout, Maye said, “Feel great. I don’t see any way I’d be limited.”
The only New England player who sat out the full practice Wednesday was linebacker Robert Spillane, who sustained an ankle injury in the Patriots’ AFC Championship Game win over the Denver Broncos. However, Spillane was asked earlier in the day if he would be ready to play Sunday, and he replied, “100%.”
Patriots tackle Thayer Munford Jr. (knee) and linebacker Harold Landry III (knee) were limited Wednesday.
The Seahawks’ injury report is topped by quarterback Sam Darnold, who was listed as limited due to an oblique ailment. That isn’t necessary cause for alarm, as he had the same designation ahead of Seattle’s NFC Championship Game victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Seahawks safety Nick Emmanwori sustained an ankle injury late in practice. That led to him also being on a “limited” list that also included tackle Charles Cross (foot), tackle Josh Jones (ankle/knee) and fullback Robbie Ouzts (neck).
Three Seattle players — wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, linebacker DeMarcus Lawrence and defensive end Leonard Williams — sat out for rest Wednesday with no injury designation.
