MUNICH -- New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye and Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson were injured on the same play in the first quarter Sunday, taking star power out of the NFL's Week 10 international game at Allianz Arena.
Hutchinson sacked Maye on third down, ripping him down from behind with what appeared to be a possible hip-drop tackle, with Hutchinson's right arm reaching around Maye's right shoulder pad as he brought him down and landed on the quarterback's lower leg.
The Patriots later announced that Maye would not return to the game because of an ankle injury.
Maye was helped to his feet and limped to the sideline then later walked to the locker room for further evaluation as backup Tommy DeVito replaced him on the next drive.
Hutchinson leaped in the air to celebrate his sack and landed awkwardly before remaining down with what appeared to be a right leg injury. The Lions listed Hutchinson as questionable with a knee injury.
There was no penalty called on the play by referee Clay Martin's crew.
In addition to Maye, the Patriots also played multiple series without starting right tackle Morgan Moses, who limped off on the team's second drive after sustaining a knee injury. He was replaced by 2026 first-round draft pick Caleb Lomu but returned later in the first half.
