Ja’Lynn Polk’s push to make the New England Patriots’ roster is off to a slow start. Despite being cleared for participation ahead of training camp, the second-year wide receiver had to sit out the first two days of practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
According to a report by Mike Reiss of ESPN, some “minor” muscle tightness is the reason behind Polk’ recent absence. When he will be back on the field is not known at this point in time.
Polk, 23, joined the Patriots as a second-round selection in last year’s NFL Draft.
