Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: Still not practicing
Polk (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
After missing Wednesday's session, Polk now has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets. If the 2024 second-round pick is unavailable this weekend, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne would be in line to lead the Patriots' wideout corps.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: In concussion protocol
Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Wednesday that Polk has been placed in the NFL's concussion protocol, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
After logging 34 snaps in this past Sunday's 32-16 loss to the Jaguars, Polk was forced out of the contest late in the fourth quarter with what has now been confirmed as a concussion. The 2024 second-round pick will now need to clear the five-step protocol in order to be available this weekend against the Jets. Through seven games to date, Polk has caught 10 of his 26 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown, with drops having been an issue for the Washington product early on in his professional career.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: Forced out of Sunday's contest
The Patriots announced that Polk is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London due to a head injury.
Polk will most likely be sent in for a concussion evaluation before the Patriots determine whether he's fit to return, but given that the announcement of his head injury didn't come until late in the fourth quarter, it's likely that his day is already over in any case. Before leaving the game, Polk failed to corral any of his three targets from quarterback Drake Maye. The rookie second-round pick continues to see ample playing time but has struggled to get on the same page with Maye and Jacoby Brissett this season; he's hauled in just 10 of his 26 targets and is averaging a lowly 3.0 yards per target.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: One catch in Week 6
Polk, who recorded 43 of a possible 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 41-21 loss to the Texans, caught one of his four targets in the contest for four yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.comm reports.
Per Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald, Polk had one drop in the contest and got his hands on another pass that fell incomplete. With that in mind, coach Jerod Mayo acknowledged that the 2024 second-rounder's game has room for growth. "I think he just needs to get over this mental hump," Mayo said of Polk. "You've got to eliminate the dropped passes. You've got to be better at blocking, which he did a great job in college at that and at times throughout the season. He just has to continue to grow, and he has to work harder. He has to pay more attention to the details, and we fully expect him to grow into a receiver that's dependable on run and pass downs." Looking ahead, Polk figures to have more productive days as he builds on-field chemistry with fellow rookie Drake Maye, who has taken over as the Patriots' starting QB, but for now the wideout out of Washington isn't a high-percentage fantasy option.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: Logs six targets Sunday
Polk was on the field for all 60 of the Patriots' snaps on offense in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Though the final box score shows Polk catching only one of his six targets for 13 yards, the wideout had a 12-yard TD catch with 1:08 remaining in the contest overturned after review. Over his last two games, Polk has seen his snaps increase and he has been targeted 13 times. Though that's only resulted in a combined four catches for 43 yards in that span, the 2024 second-rounder is a player who could pick up the pace in the coming weeks, especially if the Patriots hand the reins of the offense to rookie first-rounder Drake Maye instead of sticking with limited veteran Jacoby Brissett.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: Leads team with seven targets
Polk turned seven targets into three receptions for 30 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the 49ers.
Polk didn't produce a strong fantasy line by any means, but he led the team in targets while nearly doubling the output from his first three games in Sunday's loss. The rookie wideout has eight receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown through four games. Polk should continue to get looks and develop on a dismal New England offense this season, continuing with Sunday's tilt against Miami in Week 5.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: Two catches Thursday
Polk was on the field for 26 of the Patriots' 52 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Polk, who caught both of his targets in the contest for 13 yards, was out-snapped Thursday by both DeMario Douglas (43 snaps) and K.J. Osborn (39 snaps). With five catches (on six targets) for 31 yards and a TD through his first three games as a pro, Polk's initial fantasy impact has been modest. Down the road, however, his production could pick up if the Patriots offense gains more consistency.

Patriots' Ja'Lynn Polk: First career touchdown
Polk recorded two receptions on three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks. He also recorded one carry for zero yards.
The Patriots reportedly wanted to get Polk more involved in the offense in his second career game, and that looked to be the case early on. His first catch was also his first career touchdown and came from five yards away on New England's second offensive possession. However, he didn't make another reception until 49 seconds were remaining in the fourth quarter. So long as the Patriots keep the rushing attack as the focal point of their offense, it's unlikely that Polk will emerge as a reliable fantasy contributor.
