Brissett and Maye both struggled in the Patriots’ preseason game against the Eagles on Thursday. “We still have three days of training camp left and it’s our job as coaches to judge that,” Mayo told reporters on Friday. “The competition is not over. They’re still going to go out there and have to show something not only to themselves and their coaches, but to their teammates. So it’s definitely still a competition.” That situation will continue to be monitored over the next few weeks.
