Ja'Lynn Polk

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel said WR Ja’Lynn Polk (shoulder) is recovering from offseason surgery.

This is the first we’re hearing of Polk having a surgery, though he did miss time with a shoulder injury at the end of last season. Depending on the timeline, it’s possible he misses some offseason work with the team. We wouldn’t necessarily be concerned about it impacting his training camp yet, but after a failed rookie season, every missed chance to not impress the new coaching staff could potentially be killer for Polk’s rebound prospects. With Stefon Diggs in town, Polk is probably no more than a dart throw in best ball leagues at this point.
