New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions in Germany with an ankle injury.

Maye suffered the injury after getting sacked on third down of New England's opening drive. Lions pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson sacked Maye from behind, and Maye appeared to catch his ankle in the grass while going down.

Hutchinson hurt himself while celebrating the sack and is listed as questionable with a knee injury.

The Patriots listed Maye as questionable to return a few minutes later. He walked to the locker room with trainers and hasn't returned since suffering the injury.

Maye completed 3 of 4 passes for 48 yards before leaving. He's started all nine games this season and entered Sunday with 2,284 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions.

Tommy DeVito stepped in at quarterback for New England. DeVito had attempted eight passes this season entering Sunday's contest. He hasn't started a game since the 2024 campaign when he was with the New York Giants.

New England is 5-4 this year and sits in second place in the AFC East.
