With Super Bowl LX approaching on February 8, 2026, all eyes are on the New England Patriots’ injury situation as they prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks. The Patriots released their first bye-week injury report, projecting participation ahead of practices and revealing the status of key players like quarterback Drake Maye, tight end Hunter Henry, and linebacker Robert Spillane.

What the Bye-Week Report Tells Us

NFL teams must submit a projected injury report during the bye week before the Super Bowl, even if they haven’t held actual practices. The New England Patriots’ first Super Bowl injury report lists several players and their practice participation estimations based on Wednesday’s status, offering the first health picture for New England ahead of Super Bowl LX.

Drake Maye Injury: Limited With Right Shoulder Issue

Maye’s Status

Patriots quarterback Drake Maye was listed as a limited participant on the bye-week injury report due to a right shoulder injury.

Head coach Mike Vrabel and team sources have acknowledged Maye played through soreness during the AFC Championship Game, which might be related to accumulated throwing fatigue rather than a single hit.

Maye has been a key driver of the Patriots’ offense all season, leading them to a Super Bowl appearance. He finished the regular season among league leaders in completion percentage and passer rating, and his mobility and leadership were critical in the AFC title win.

Hunter Henry and Other Patriots on the Report

Hunter Henry – Rest Listed

Veteran tight end Hunter Henry was listed as not participating on Wednesday’s projected injury report, but this was not due to a specific injury; rather, it was a rest designation.

Other Non-Participants

Several Patriots were projected as not participating due to injuries or rest, including:

LB Harold Landry III – knee
T Thayer Munford Jr. – knee/illness
LB Robert Spillane – ankle
T Morgan Moses – rest

Conclusion

The Patriots’ first Super Bowl bye-week injury report gives fans and analysts an early look at how key contributors are trending before Super Bowl LX. Drake Maye’s shoulder soreness earns a limited tag, but he’s expected to be pivotal against the Seahawks. Hunter Henry and Robert Spillane are among the other projected non-participants, either due to rest or ongoing issues, while a few depth pieces practiced fully in the estimation.
