The rookie DB was one of a dozen or so long shots in camp, trying to sneak onto the backend of the 53 or at least earn a practice squad look. Polk had some intriguing measurables (5-foot-11 with freakish length) and flashed a little playmaking juice in college: six career forced fumbles, five sacks, and snaps all over the field from the nickel to the box. The Pats love versatility. They love special teams. So, they took a flyer, and it didn't stick.

They got some players. It was a good test for us to see Barmore back out there today. That's obviously going to make a big difference for them. I got a ton of respect for Harold. I played against him before, and just everything I hear about him is true professional. And then Milton's got some juice for sure, too. ... And Keion is pretty good, too, off the edge, and he's able to do it from both side

The Washington Commanders suffered a significant loss to the New England Patriots, with a final score of 48-18, marking a challenging start to their preseason.
