Concern over Maye's shoulder?

Well, fans might be, but Drake isn't.

Speaking to the media, Maybe stated, "I feel good," when asked about his shoulder per Patriots on CLNS.

In truth, Maye being listed as questionable on back-to-back days is nothing to be overly concerned about; after all, there is still another full week of practices.

If Maye is still listed as limited come the Thursday before the Super Bowl, ok, panic.

But right now, it appears New England is doing their best to ease their young QB through the first week of practice ahead of the Super Bowl.
