Polk suffered a head injury in last Sunday\u2019s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and Jerod Mayo confirmed Wednesday the wide receiver was in the concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots head coach told reporters the team would let the process play out before determining Polk\u2019s status for Week 8. However, there is a fair chance the rookie wideout misses this Sunday\u2019s matchup against the New York Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Polk voiced his frustrations on social media. Mayo didn\u2019t seem too concerned about the vocal chatter from his players. Drake Maye, on the other hand, publicly supported Polk on Instagram as the wide receiver seemed to hint at his place on the concussion protocol. The rookie signal-caller continued to support Polk on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I think pump him up. I think that\u2019s the biggest thing you can do, especially for a guy coming in the same class,\u201d Maye told reporters, per team-provided video. \u201cI\u2019m a first-round pick. He\u2019s a second-round pick. We built a connection early during camp, and during the summer, I felt like we had it going. I think he\u2019s still finding it, still working together. It was our only second game together. I felt like we left some plays out there both. Me ball placement-wise, and I feel like he\u2019d like to have some plays back. I think it\u2019s about building the comradery. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a matter of if. I think it\u2019s a matter of when.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>DeMario Douglas was another player who publicly supported Polk, so it\u2019s clear his teammates hope for a speedy recovery and a bounce back.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ja&#8217;Lynn Polk suffered a head injury last Sunday, and head coach Jerod Mayo had a discouraging update on he Patriots rookie&#8217;s status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":832,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-831","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
