Ja'Lynn Polk's second season with the Patriots is over before it had a chance to get started. The New England wide receiver is set to undergo shoulder surgery and will miss the 2025 season, according to Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports .

Polk was fighting for a roster spot this summer but suffered a shoulder injury during the team's preseason opener against the Washington Commanders. The receiver was hurt at the end of a jet sweep in the first half, and hasn't seen the field since.

Polk reportedly saw multiple specialists to determine the best course of action for the injury, according to Schultz, and has decided to go the surgery route. Polk is hoping to be fully healthy for the 2026 NFL season.
