There’s no gray area anymore as far as New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye’s throwing shoulder is concerned.

He definitely has an injury, but not one he thinks will linger into next week.

Maye and the Patriots had their first full practice on Thursday indoors in the WIN Waste Innovation Field House behind Gillette Stadium in preparation for Super Bowl LX vs. the Seattle Seahawks.

So far, so good.

“I’m feeling good,” Maye said after practice. “I got out there, moving around a good bit today. I was able to do some of the jog through, so I’m feeling good. I’m looking forward to being ready to go. This is the game you dream of playing in, so I’m looking forward to getting out there and getting a chance to play in the Super Bowl.”

Maye was on the injury report and was limited in practice.

“I’m just going to try to do whatever I can to get back to 100%, he said. “I think a lot of people in that locker room would say the same thing. Having a two-week break is nice to rest a little more and get to know the Seahawks as well as I can. From there, I’m looking forward to getting out to practice and trying to transfer that to live game reps.”

Maye was asked if his throwing ability will be limited in the Super Bowl.

“No, I don’t think so,” he said. “That’s why you spend time. That’s why you have trainers. I think it’s just been one of those things where it’s a long season, and sometimes things show up. I’m going to do whatever I can to feel 100%. I’m sure I’ll get, if not there, as close as you can, 99%, or do whatever I can to make sure I’m throwing and like I said, do whatever I can to help the team win.”

Maye said practice wasn’t much different for him, despite being “limited.”

“Yeah,” he said. “We went through normal practice. I did some reps and did some things where I’m looking forward to trying to get some more reps here and there and feel it out.”

Maye said he was good enough to keep the Broncos’ Jonah Ellis off him to get the AFC Championship game-clinching first down.

“I was able to catch the edge and give a little stiff arm and try to make the play,” Maye said. “I think the shoulder is doing just fine.”

It appears Maye aggravated the shoulder during an awkward slide in the third quarter. It was not a pre-existing issue, Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said yesterday.

“No, because then he would have been listed on the injury report before then,” he said, adding he’s not too concerned.

“Not much, I try not to have a whole lot of concern. I just want to try to prepare the football team, make sure that everybody’s ready, that we all have a plan, not to surprise anybody and make sure that our guys are focusing on the first and second down plan. We’ve tried to map out the week here, week and a half, and not look at the end of it, but focus on what we can do today. Try to learn our opponent and be ready for first and second down.”

DIGGS SAYS IMPROVEMENT NEEDED

Patriots veteran receiver Stephon Diggs said that the team has to get better offensively to beat the Seahawks, because they’re just another good defense the team is facing in the postseason.

“One of the best,” he said. “Throughout these playoffs we’ve had a crazy run with the top defenses in the league. They’re second to none … It’s going to be a huge challenge for us. … Definitely a good team. Last week we didn’t put our best foot forward.”

WILLIAMS USED TO HATE THE PATRIOTS

Milt Williams admitted he was never thrilled to see the Tom Brady Patriots in the Super Bowl growing up.

“I always tell people I did not like the Patriots,” he said with a grin. “I did not like the Patriots. But now I’m here. I love the Patriots.”

Williams, who said when he became an NFL player he grew to appreciate the hard work Brady and the Patriots put in to win consistently. He feels the game is always in the hands of his defensive line.

“If we’re in the right spots, our head’s in the right spots, our eyes are in the right spots, we’re communicating, executing the call, if we do what we do up front,” he said. “I always put the game on us.”

He said the key is QB pressure, and that will be the case vs. Seattle’s Sam Darnold.

“They’ve got a quarterback back there, if like (Houston’s) C.J. Stroud – keep him clean, he makes all the throws,” Williams said. “It’s our job to get back there, speed him up, get him off his spot, and try to take advantage and try to make him put the football in harm’s way.”
