Drake Maye's return from a head injury is questionable

Drake Mayes' second NFL start has taken an unfortunate turn.

Maye went to the locker room during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets and the Patriots said the quarterback's return from a head injury was questionable. Maye was hit in the head while fighting for a first down during an offensive drive.

Maye ran for a touchdown in the first quarter of the game and the Patriots fumbled on their other two possessions. Jacoby Brissett is now in the game at quarterback.

The Patriots trailed 13-7 after Aaron Rodgers hit wide receiver Xavier Gipson for a one-yard score with just over nine minutes left in the first half.
