Ja'Lynn Polk Injury: Lands on season-ending IR

The Patriots placed Polk (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday.

The 2024 second-round pick suffered a shoulder injury during the Patriots' preseason opener against Washington that required surgery, and he'll miss his entire sophomore campaign. After he posted a poor 12-87-2 line over 15 regular-season games as a rookie, Polk's future in New England appears very shaky.
