FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — As the New England Patriots took the field on Wednesday for their first training camp practice of 2025, one player conspicuous by his absence from the action was second-year receiver Ja’Lynn Polk.
With Polk absent from team drills for second straight day, more than a few eyebrows within Patriots Nation were raised regarding the 23-year-old’s status.
Fortunately, a Patriots insider was able to add some context for Polk’s brief hiatus from team drills.
“I’m told [Ja’Lynn] Polk passed his initial physical, then later had what is considered minor muscle tightness, so playing it cautious early,â€ufffd per ESPN’s Mike Reiss.
