While the scoreboard was ugly, what coach Mike Vrabel is about to do to someone in his organization is going to be uglier. Prior to the game on Thursday, Jordan Schultz reported that Patriots' second-year wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk would miss the entire 2025 season due to a shoulder injury that requires surgery.

In another setback for what already looks like a major draft bust, Polk is expected to undergo shoulder surgery and miss the 2025 season.
