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

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Rams waived Polite on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

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

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Polite dealt with a hamstring injury during the combine and aggravated it at his pro day, but 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.
