In a thrilling Sunday night showdown against Washington, the New England Patriots’ quarterback and presumed Week 1 starter, Jacoby Brissett, unfortunately suffered a shoulder injury during his lone drive of the preseason finale. The atmosphere was tense as coach Jerod Mayo addressed the media post-game, providing updates on Brissett’s condition.
Initially, Mayo seemed optimistic about Brissett’s injury, stating, “He would’ve been able to continue.” However, Mayo quickly tempered expectations with a more cautious tone, adding, “I talked to him… We’ll see tomorrow. You always feel a little bit more sore the next day. He said he was good. We’ll find out tomorrow.”
The uncertainty surrounding Brissett’s status looms large as the Patriots await further evaluation. The question on everyone’s mind is whether Brissett will be ready for the start of the season. As Mayo cryptically mentioned, “Whether and when they’ll share that with the world remains to be seen.”
If Brissett is able to recover in time, all eyes will be on him as the starter for the Patriots. However, there is speculation that rookie Drake Maye could potentially step in if Brissett’s injury lingers. The tension is palpable as the Patriots navigate this quarterback dilemma, with the football world eagerly anticipating the team’s next move. Stay tuned for updates on Brissett’s status as the Patriots prepare for the upcoming season.
