ORIGINAL STORY (2:01 p.m. ET): FOXBORO, Mass. — Patriots quarterback Drake Maye couldn’t make it out of the first half of Sunday’s matchup with the New York Jets.

New England announced the rookie signal-caller was questionable to return with a head injury just minutes into the second quarter.

Jets linebacker Jamien Sherwood made helmet-to-helmet contact with Maye during a scramble late in the first quarter, though a flag was not thrown on the play. Maye remained in the game for four more plays before entering the blue medical tent and eventually the locker room following the end of the possession.

Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who started the first five games of the season, entered the game in relief.
