Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye conceivably could play in Sunday’s game against the host Tennessee Titans.

Maye, who remains in concussion protocol, was expected to be a limited participant in practice for the third straight day on Friday.

“He is still in the protocol … and going through that process,” Patriots coach Jerod Mayo said on Friday morning.

When asked if the quarterback could be ready to play when the Patriots (2-6) face the Titans (1-6), Mayo responded with a definitive “yes.” That said, Mayo said the team has confidence in veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett if Maye isn’t cleared.

“Look, any given day, any player can just wake up with something and not be able to play,” Mayo said. “I will say this, if (Maye) can’t play, we have enough faith and confidence in Jacoby to be able to step in and help us win.”

Maye, 22, was placed in the protocol last Sunday after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in the Patriots’ 25-22 win over the New York Jets.

He has completed 63.1 percent of his passes for five touchdowns and two interceptions in four games this season. He was selected by the Patriots with the third overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of North Carolina.
