Jacoby Brissett's injury: Latest updates on the Patriots QB's shoulder

Jacoby Brissett injury: Latest updates on Patriots QB's shoulder originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston

Jacoby Brissett was the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots in their final preseason game on Sunday night against the Washington Commanders, but he only lasted one drive.

The veteran quarterback was seen grimacing after taking a hard hit from a sack by Commanders defensive end KJ Henry, who had rushed past the Patriots offensive line completely unhindered.

Brissett finished the drive but did not play again after the Patriots eventually punted.

The team announced late in the second quarter that Brissett's return was questionable due to a right shoulder injury.

Rookie quarterback Drake Maye took over the offense after Brissett and immediately led an 11-play, 88-yard touchdown drive. Maye was under center for the rest of the first half and played fantastically.

This story will be updated after the game with any updates on Brissett's injuries.
