Drake Maye’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. His last notable health issue was a throwing-shoulder injury from the AFC Championship game, which he played through in Super Bowl LX and treated with offseason rest rather than surgery, per SI.
Through the first two games of 2026, Pro Football Reference had Maye at 37-of-55 for 386 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions, including a 14-of-22, 208-yard outing in the Week 2 win over Pittsburgh. A.J. Brown is on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, with Week 7 his earliest return.
Fantasy Action: Maye’s rushing keeps him in the QB1 conversation, but temper passing expectations until A.J. Brown is back from injured reserve.
