Many of Drake Maye’s best traits are fairly obvious. Whether it’s his strong arm, his athleticism, his mobility and ability to run, they’re noticeable almost immediately. One trait that’s not as easily detected?

It's up to whoever runs personnel to get top offensive players to complement Drake Maye's passing and running. The quarterback is the toughest get. The Pats have him. Now just get going and fill in the rest.

Injuries continue to plague the Bears' offensive line as they will be without their top three tackles this weekend against the Patriots.

The team listed seven other players as questionable to play in Week 10, including Alex Austin, Daniel Ekuale, Michael Jordan, Vederian Lowe, Marte Mapu, Layden Robinson and Jaquelin Roy. It’s a long list of injuries for a Patriots team that has been banged up all season.

The Patriots will be without two defensive starters on Sunday in Chicago. The team ruled out safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) and linebacker Christian Elliss (abdomen) on Friday in their final injury report of the week.

The New England Patriots announced their players’ game status for this Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately for New England, there was not a lot of good for a pair of Patriots who have not participated in practice this week.
