Patriots' Drake Maye, Seahawks' Sam Darnold both listed on injury reports ahead of Super Bowl

Darnold has been on the injury report since before the Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional round. He said he felt something in his oblique on Thursday prior to the game and reportedly didn't throw a football until he took the field on Saturday.

Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said during the week that his throwing in practice would be curtailed but that his condition improved. Darnold planned to take a pain-killing injection before the game, according to the report.

Maye said after the game that he had some bumps and bruises.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said during a press conference on Tuesday that Maye is not 100% at this time of year, but that nobody is 100% at this time of the year.

Maye, who was fantastic in the regular season, has not seen the same success in the playoffs, despite making the Super Bowl.

In the regular season, the 23-year-old completed 72% of his passes for 4,394 yards with 31 touchdowns and eight interceptions, along with 421 rushing yards and two touchdowns. In the playoffs, Maye has not been as effective through the air, completing 55.8% of his passes for 533 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions while getting sacked 15 times.

However, Maye has been dynamic with his legs, rushing for 141 yards and one touchdown, the lone one the Patriots scored in the AFC Championship, in three games.

The Patriots will need Maye to be at his best in the Super Bowl, as the Seahawks' defense was the best in the NFL this season, allowing just 17.1 points per game.
