Top Jachai Polite News

  • Jachai Polite: Clears COVID protocol

    Polite (undisclosed) was restored to the Rams' practice squad Tuesday.

    The 22-year-old was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list earlier in December but has now cleared the league's protocols. Polite has four tackles and one sack in 11 games for the Rams this season, though for now he remains on the practice squad.

  • Jachai Polite: In COVID-19 protocol

    The Rams placed Polite on the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Polite either tested positive for the virus or came into close contact with an infected person. He'll need to clear the league's COVID-19 protocols before returning to the Rams' facilities.

  • Jachai Polite: Cut by Rams

    The Rams waived Polite on Thursday.

    Polite saw action in all 12 games with the Rams this season, seeing most of his action on special teams and supplying four tackles (three solo) over that span. The Florida product will look to latch on elsewhere to earn a depth role at linebacker.

  • Rams' Jachai Polite: Joins Rams

    Polite signed a reserve/futures contract with the Rams on Tuesday.

    Polite was selected by the Jets in the third round of the 2019 draft but hurt his hamstring and was subsequently cut. He gets a new shot in Los Angeles.

  • Jachai Polite: Axed by Jets

    Polite was cut by the Jets on Saturday, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

    Polite's outlook has been declining since he injured his hamstring at the 2019 NFL Combine. The third-round rookie, who was at one point one of the most promising players in his draft class, will be cut before playing a regular season game. Given his potential, other NFL teams very well could take a chance on Polite.

  • Jets' Jachai Polite: Records two tackles

    Polite (hamstring) notched two tackles during Thursday's preseason game against the Giants.

    Polite dealt with a hamstring injury during the combine and aggravated it at his pro day, but he now appears to have gotten fully healthy. The third-round rookie is competing to carve out a rotational role behind Brandon Copeland in New York's defensive front.

  • Jets' Jachai Polite: Heads to Big Apple

    The Jets selected Polite (hamstring) in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 68th overall.

    New York continues to bolster its defensive front through the draft after getting Quinnen Williams with the third overall pick. Polite adds a pure pass-rushing presence off the edge. He fell to this point after a shaky combine that was lowlighted by a hamstring injury that he aggravated at his pro day. Still, there's plenty of upside to Polite's game. He showed explosiveness off the edge at Florida and is still young, having just turned 21 years old in March.
