Drake Maye out for game with ankle injury after getting sacked by Aidan Hutchinson
Hutchinson was also injured after he got up and celebrated.
Drake Maye, the Patriots' quarterback, will miss the remainder of today's game in Germany due to an ankle injury sustained during the team's first offensive drive. Maye was tackled from behind by Lions' linebacker Aidan Hutchinson, who landed on the back of Maye's legs, causing the injury. The tackle was not penalized but resulted in Maye's absence from the game.
Backup quarterback Tommy DeVito will take over for Maye, while rookie Behren Morton is the only other quarterback available on the Patriots' roster. In addition to Maye's injury, Lions linebacker Aidan Hutchinson also sustained a knee injury after celebrating his tackle by jumping high into the air and landing awkwardly. The Lions, currently leading 14-3 in the second quarter, are uncertain if Hutchinson will return to the game.
