Patriots quarterback, and presumptive Week 1 starter, Jacoby Brissett suffered a shoulder injury on his lone drive of Sunday night’s final preseason game at Washington. Coach Jerod Mayo sounded mostly positive after the game, but there was a potential caveat to Mayo’s comments.

“He could have continued,” Mayo initially said.

But Mayo was a little more moderate.

“I talked to him,” Mayo said. “We’ll see tomorrow. You always feel a little stiffer the next day. He said he was fine. We’ll know tomorrow.”

We certainly will. Or at least they will. Whether and when they will share that with the world remains to be seen.

If Brissett is healthy, expect him to begin the season as the starter. Ultimately, the Patriots could move on to rookie Drake Maye.
