Leading receiver on SNF
Engram brought in six of nine targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Commanders.
Analysis: Engram made his mark in the extra period when he ripped off a 41-yard gain that helped set up the game-winning score from teammate RJ Harvey. The 79 yards represented a new single-game high from the veteran tight end through 11 appearances with Denver in 2025. Had this game ended in regulation, Engram would have finished with a stat line closer to the 3.2 receptions and 26.0 yards he averaged heading into Sunday Night Football. Fantasy managers should not overreact to this standout performance…read more

Posts 33 yards in victory
Engram caught four of five targets for 33 yards in the Broncos' 22-19 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Engram has yet to hit 50 yards receiving in a game this season and is playing less than 50 percent of the offensive snaps, as Adam Trautman is coach Sean Payton's preferred blocking tight end on early downs. Through 10 games, Engram has just 32 catches for 260 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets. He's not a recommended fantasy starter at tight end down the stretch as the Broncos head into their Week 12 bye.

Two catches in Thursday's win
Engram caught two of five targets for 12 yards in Thursday's 10-7 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Engram has secured only two of eight targets over the past two games. This downturn comes after a stretch of five consecutive games with at least four catches. Engram's next opportunity to get back on track will come Nov. 16 against the Chiefs.

Blanked by Houston
Engram failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Engram was unable to get anything going in Week 9, as he played second fiddle to fellow tight end Adam Trautman against the Texans. The 31-year-old Engram played 51 percent of Denver's offensive snaps Sunday, reaching above a 50 percent snap share for just the second time this season. Even so, it was Trautman who saw the majority of work at tight end, playing 73 percent of snaps and catching both of his targets for 25 yards. The Denver tight end position is seemingly one to avoid for fantasy…read more

Gains 42 yards Sunday
Engram had five receptions on eight targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 33-32 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Engram duplicated his production from a week ago on two more targets against New York's other football club in Week 7. The veteran tight end has quietly generated value for those in PPR formats by averaging 4.5 receptions in his past four starts. Engram will provide fantasy managers with a high floor in a soft matchup against the Cowboys next Sunday.

Leading receiver on six targets
Engram corralled five of six targets for 42 yards while adding one rushing attempt for seven yards in Sunday's 13-11 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Engram led Denver in targets, receptions and yardage in an odd victory that saw No. 1 WR Courtland Sutton finish with just one reception. The 30-year-old Engram also recorded his first rushing attempt of the season, something we haven't seen consistently from the tight end since his early years as a member of the New York Giants. Sunday's solid showing overseas comes on the heels of the veteran tight end's first touchdown of the year against the Eagles last week. Managers in need of help at the…read more

Finds end zone in Week 5 win
Engram secured four of six targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos' 21-17 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Engram finished second in receptions and targets on an afternoon when Bo Nix spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers overall. The veteran tight end also scored his first touchdown in a Broncos uniform on an 11-yard catch just before the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and his receiving yardage total was a new season high. Engram has played a more short-area role than may have initially been expected upon his signing with Denver this offseason, but his upside keeps him a…read more

Practicing fully
Engram (back) practiced fully Friday.
Analysis: A back issue prevented Engram from practicing and playing in Week 3, but following full practices both Thursday and Friday, the tight end is poised to return to action Monday night against the Bengals. With just four catches (on six targets) for 33 yards in his first two games with the Broncos, the early returns on Engram aren't great, but assuming his back injury is no longer an issue, he's a player capable of picking up the pace, as soon as Monday. With that in mind, Zac Stevens of…read more

Engram (back) participated in Thursday's practice, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
Analysis: Engram missed practice all last week before ultimately being ruled out for Week 3 against the Chargers. With his return to practice Thursday, Engram should be on track to play Monday night against the Bengals. Engram has massively underwhelmed to start his Broncos career, playing just 38 percent of the offensive snaps across the first two games of the season and catching only four passes for 33 yards on six targets. He's simply not a full-time player in coach Sean Payton's offense that likes to…read more

Ruled out this week
Engram (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Engram wasn't able to practice all week, and the tight end now will look to recover from his back issue in time to suit up Monday, Sept. 29 against the Bengals. In Engram's absence this weekend, Adam Trautman figures to be next in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull also on hand to mix in.

Engram (back) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Engram also missed Wednesday's session, which puts the focus firmly on what -- if anything -- the tight end is able to do Friday at practice. If Engram is limited or out versus the Chargers on Sunday, Adam Trautman would be next in line for added Week 3 opportunities, with Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull also available to mix in.

Misses practice with back issue
Engram missed practice Wednesday due to a back injury.
Analysis: Engram managed a calf issue prior to Week 2 action, but he approached this past Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts without an injury designation before recording 25 of a possible 58 snaps on offense. Now that he's dealing with a new injury concern, the tight end's status will now need to be monitored as this weekend's contest against the Chargers approaches.

Misses practice Wednesday
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Engram (undisclosed) did not practice, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Payton declined to comment on the nature of Engram's injury. The veteran tight end was forced out early during Denver's win over the Titans in Week 1 due to a calf injury, but he was able to gain full clearance in time to return Week 2 against the Colts. Engram has, however, failed to play 50 percent in either of the Broncos' two games so far this season, and he's totaled just two catches for 33 yards on four targets thus far.

Plays behind Trautman in Week 2
Engram secured one of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Engram returned from the calf injury he sustained in Week 1, but he played only 43 percent of offensive snaps and worked behind Adam Trautman (62 percent), who brought in all three of his targets for 10 yards and a score. It's possible Engram gets more involved in Week 3 against the Chargers as he improves his game fitness, but even before being injured in the opener he played just one snap, and the veteran chain-mover may not be as entrenched as the team's No. 1 tight end as expected, with…read more

Turns in full practice
Engram (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Engram sustained a calf injury in Denver's 20-12 win over the Titans on Sunday and was limited in the team's first Week 2 practice Wednesday, but the tight end's ability to take every rep Thursday clears the way for him to suit up this weekend in Indianapolis. Before leaving in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 victory, Engram finished his Broncos debut with three catches for 21 yards on four targets while playing 26 snaps on offense.

Engram (calf) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Analysis: Engram played 26 snaps in the Broncos' season-opening win over the Titans before exiting the contest with a calf injury. While the tight end's official limited listing Wednesday is encouraging, he'll presumably need to work fully by Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Colts without an injury designation.

Quiet in preseason finale
Engram failed to bring in his only target in the Broncos' 28-19 preseason win over the Saints on Saturday afternoon.
Analysis: Engram was naturally part of the first-team offense over the first three drives, but he closed out his preseason in quiet fashion after making a splash with a 58-yard catch against the Cardinals last Saturday. The veteran tight end is teed up for a significant role in the Broncos' Bo Nix-led offense, beginning with their Week 1 home matchup against the Titans.

Big chunk gain on one catch
Engram brought in his only target for a 58-yard reception in the Broncos' 27-7 preseason win over the Cardinals on Saturday night.
Analysis: The veteran offseason addition made an instant impact Saturday, recording his long gain on Denver's second play from scrimmage to get the Broncos out of the shadow of their goalposts and down to the Cardinals' 37-yard line. Engram made the connection with No. 2 quarterback Jarrett Stidham, but come the regular season, the accomplished tight end projects as one of the top targets for promising second-year signal-caller Bo Nix.

Draws praise in camp
Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said Tuesday that Engram has "met or exceeded" expectations in camp so far, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Analysis: Engram's versatility at the tight end position has caught the attention of the Denver coaching staff. "He can run. He can change direction. Willing blocker. He sticks his nose in there. Complete tight end. Guy that's been really showing up in camp," Lombardi said. The 30-year-old will enter his ninth season, and a change of scenery could provide a boost to his production. After a disappointing and injury-riddled 2024 campaign in Jacksonville, Engram will provide second-year quarterback Bo Nix…read more

Building momentum with new team
Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Thursday that Engram (shoulder), who has been an active participant at OTAs, has shown "real good instincts" at practice, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Engram said Thursday he feels "the potential is through the roof" for second-year quarterback Bo Nix, per DiLalla, and the veteran tight end projects to be a significant part of the young signal-caller's Year 2 development. Now fully recovered from the hamstring and labrum injuries that limited him to nine regular-season appearances with Jacksonville in 2024, Engram is entrenched as Denver's top tight end above Adam Trautman, and he's staring down a seemingly straightforward path to emerging as…read more

Catches on with Denver
Engram (shoulder) agreed to a two-year contract with the Broncos on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars released Engram in early March, about 11 weeks after he had surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He may not practice this spring but should be ready by Week 1, at which point he'll be 31 years old and taking over as the top pass-catching tight end in an offense that sent just 13.1 percent of its targets to the position in 2024, the second-lowest rate in the league. That number will rise considerably if Engram stays relatively healthy, although he's unlikely to match…read more

Meeting with Broncos
Engram (shoulder) is visiting the Broncos on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Released by the Jaguars last week, Engram is seeking a new home for what will be his age-31 season. He underwent surgery in December to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, which may lead to limitations this offseason but shouldn't impact his Week 1 availability.

The Jaguars released Engram (shoulder) on Thursday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Engram's 2024 campaign was abbreviated due to a torn labrum in his left shoulder that required surgery in mid-December, but he also sat out Weeks 2-5 due to a hamstring injury, limiting him to nine regular-season appearances. He was modestly productive when healthy, hauling in 47 of 64 passes for 365 yards and one touchdown.

Analysis: Engram was ruled out for the Jaguars' final four games of the season when he was placed on injured reserve Saturday, though it wasn't immediately known if he would get surgery to address the labrum tear. With the procedure now confirmed, Engram will likely be shut down from activity for a few weeks before beginning a rehab program.

Officially on IR
Engram (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: It was announced earlier this week Engram would miss the rest of the season due to a torn labrum, so this is just a transactional move by the Jaguars. The veteran has one year remaining on his contract with zero guarantees on his $14.75 million base salary, which means it's entirely possible the team will move on from Engram given the projected coaching and potential front office changes on the horizon.

Engram (shoulder) will miss the rest of the season due to a torn labrum, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jaguars coach Doug Pederson made the announcement Friday, after the tight end missed consecutive practices. Brenton Strange figures to step in as Jacksonville's starter, just as he did earlier this season when Engram was out with a hamstring injury. Engram will have surgery soon and should be ready for Week 1 of 2025, but his future in Jacksonville is uncertain with one year remaining on his contract and no current guarantees for a $14.75 million base salary.

Not practicing Wednesday
Head coach Doug Pederson said Engram won't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: While Engram will be a spectator for the Jaguars' first practice session of the week, Pederson expects the tight end to play Sunday against the Jets. Engram -- who caught four of his six targets for 33 yards in a Week 14 win over the Titans -- has two more chances to practice ahead of the contest, but unless he's a full participant by Friday, he'll likely head into the weekend with an injury designation.

Quiet against Titans
Engram recorded four receptions on six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 10-6 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Engram's six targets were good for second on the team and also marked his fifth straight game with at least that many opportunities. However, his longest catch went for just 11 yards as the Jacksonville offense struggled to generate explosive plays. Engram has now been held below 40 yards in half of his last eight games.

Engram secured five of seven targets for 28 yards in the Jaguars' 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Engram tied Brian Thomas for the team lead in receptions and targets but was a distant second in receiving yards. It was the third straight game with at least five receptions for Engram, but he's failed to top 45 receiving yards in five consecutive contests.

Six catches in loss
Engram recorded six receptions on eight targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Engram was one of the few Jacksonville pass catchers who was able to get anything going with Mac Jones under center. He led the team in targets and was the only player to record more than a pair of receptions. The end result was still uninspiring for Engram, as he was targeted primarily in short areas of the field, limiting his ability to rack up meaningful yardage.

Leading receiver off 10 targets
Engram finished with five receptions (on 10 targets) for 45 yards in Sunday's 28-23 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Engram led the Jaguars in receiving yards, receptions and targets in a game during which the offense did not have a passing touchdown. The 30-year-old produced a decent fantasy score on the heels of his first touchdown catch of the season. The veteran tight end is now averaging six receptions for 54.5 yards over his last four games since returning from injury. Engram should be considered a reliable fantasy play heading into next Sunday's tilt against Minnesota.

The athletic tight end had participated in just three games prior to Sunday's score, marking a good time for fantasy managers in need of a tight end to pick up the veteran.

Nevertheless, the Jaguars had the luxury of not having to be overly aggressive through the air due to game script, leading to Trevor Lawrence throwing only a total of 20 times.

The veteran tight end's instant chemistry with Trevor Lawrence was encouraging but not necessarily surprising given their body of work in 2023, and despite the team's overall struggles, Engram appears set to offer above-average fantasy production at the always fickle tight end position moving forward.

However, given that the TE is officially listed as questionable, his Week 6 status won't be confirmed until the Jaguars' inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff in London.

Remains limited in practice
Engram (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Engram was a limited participant all of last week and has now repeated that status in back-to-back practices this week. Coach Doug Pederson was optimistic Monday about Engram's chances of playing this Sunday against the Bears in London, but fantasy managers still need to treat the tight end as an unknown for the time being.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Engram (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Engram hasn't played in a game since injuring his hamstring in pregame warmups ahead of the Jaguars' Week 2 loss to the Browns, but head coach Doug Pederson said earlier this week that the tight end has a "pretty good" chance of playing this weekend against the Bears in London, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Jaguars will wait and see if Engram is able to upgrade to full participation in practice Thursday or Friday before deciding whether he takes a designation into Sunday.

Coach optimistic for Week 6
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that he's optimistic Engram (hamstring) will be cleared to play Sunday against the Bears in London, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Engram hasn't played since injuring his hamstring in pregame warmups for Week 2, but last season's league leader in receptions among tight ends (114) is nearing a return. Brenton Strange has posted 120 receiving yards and two touchdowns over the last four games while filling in for Engram. If Pederson's optimism is backed up by full practice participation from Engram once the Jaguars begin their Week 6 preparation Wednesday, the tight end may be able to avoid the injury report altogether.

Missing fourth straight game
Engram (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Engram took a step forward in his recovery from a hamstring injury this week by logging a trio of limited practices, but the Jaguars determined that the tight end needed at least one more game off to heal up. With Engram out for a fourth straight contest, Brenton Strange should serve as the Jaguars' top pass-catching tight end. Engram's absence could also open up more looks in the short and intermediate areas of the field for Christian Kirk, who has amassed 22 targets over the past two contests.

He had been a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but the Jaguars may want to see Engram upgrade to full participation before clearing him for game action.

Status in question for Sunday
Engram (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Engram has been sidelined since he sustained a hamstring injury during pregame warmups before a Week 2 matchup with the Browns, but three consecutive limited practices this week put him on a path to return this Sunday. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, approximately 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and it remains to be seen what kind of workload he can handle if he's deemed active.

Engram (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Engram hasn't played since Week 1, but with two straight limited practices to begin Week 5 prep, he's putting himself in a position to put an end to his three-game absence Sunday versus the Colts. In order to avoid being listed as questionable heading into the weekend, however, Engram will likely need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice.

Returns to limited practice
Engram (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Engram, who last saw game action Week 1, was unable to practice last week, so his involvement in Wednesday's session offers hope that he could play Sunday against the Colts. The tight end has two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of the contest, though he'll presumably need to put in a full session by Friday in order to avoid a Week 5 injury designation.

Unlikely to play against Houston
Speaking with the media Friday, coach Doug Pederson said Engram (hamstring) is doubtful to play Sunday against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Injured in pregame warmups ahead of Week 2, Engram hasn't practiced since and remains a question mark ahead of Week 5 against the Colts. Brenton Strange has started in Engram's place the last two weeks, reeling in five of 11 targets for 77 yards and one touchdown.

Analysis: Engram has missed back-to-back games due to a hamstring injury and now faces a short week of rest to try and get healthy in time for Sunday's pivotal road matchup against Houston.

Analysis: This felt like the unfortunate conclusion for Engram's opportunity to play in Week 3 given the tight end had not practiced at all during the week.

Analysis: The Jaguars will list their official final injury report later in the day, but this shouldn't be a surprising development for fantasy managers given Engram has failed to practice at any point this week. Expect Brenton Strange to once again fill in for Engram, if he's inevitably ruled out. Strange, a second-year tight end, tallied 65 yards on three catches as the emergency fill-in last week.

Analysis: Though Engram was not among the Jaguars' initial inactives prior to Sunday's loss to the Browns, he suffered a setback during warmups and then was deemed out by the team ahead of kickoff time. For now, Pederson indicated that the Jaguars will have to "see where (Engram) is this week," but at this stage the tight end's status for the next Monday's tilt against the Bills is cloudy. If Engram is unavailable Week 3, Brenton Strange and Luke Farrell once again would be in line for added snaps.

Nearly blanked in Week 1 loss
Engram brought in one of four targets for five yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran tight end came into Week 1 with sky-high expectations due to a pair of offseason departures and his own career-best 2023, but Engram's Week 1 production was an undeniable dud. Trevor Lawrence flashed the most chemistry with newcomers Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas in the loss, and the entire air attack was ineffective as the second half unfolded. Engram will aim to revert to his typically more voluminous workload during a Week 2 visit from the Browns next Sunday.

Pair of touchdown grabs
Engram brought in all four of his targets for 28 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 31-0 preseason win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Engram played on two drives, both of which came with Trevor Lawrence. With Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined, Engram was Lawrence's favorite target and caught touchdown receptions of five and six yards. He has failed to top four trips to the end zone in the regular season since his rookie campaign in 2017, but this usage could suggest he'll be a favorite target in the red zone in 2024.

Analysis: Engram led the team in targets and receptions, marking the third time he's been targeted at least 10 times in his last five games. He didn't post a particularly impressive yardage total with the opportunity, though he did manage his fourth touchdown of the season on a 14-yard catch early in the final quarter.

Analysis: Engram reverted back to his usual form after going off for a combined 20 receptions, 177 yards and three touchdowns over his previous two contests. While that sort of production was unrealistic to expect to continue, fantasy managers were likely hoping for a gradual regression to the mean as opposed what transpired Sunday.

The touchdown came on a pass thrown by Trevor Lawrence (ankle), who later left the game in the fourth quarter. Engram accounted for four of C.J.

Analysis: The 29-year-old tight end tied for the team lead in targets but had a long reception of nine yards and finished with his lowest yardage total of the season.

Engram set new career highs in catches and receiving yards last year, and the 29-year-old's role doesn't appear to have changed much in 2023.

Engram recorded five receptions on six targets for 31 yards in Saturday's 27-20 loss to the Chiefs.

He didn't do much with his opportunity in Saturday's loss, though he did manage receptions of 16 and 10 yards.

Analysis: After managing just one reception during a Week 17 win at Houston, Engram bounced back somewhat in a regular-season finale in which quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for 212 yards. With the help of two 100-yard performances Weeks 14 and 16, Engram also ended the campaign with career bests in catches (73) and receiving yards (766). The Jaguars clinched the AFC South with this Week 18 win, so he and his teammates will focus on hosting a wild-card round matchup next Saturday, Sunday or Monday.

Quiet in Week 17
Engram caught one pass for 16 yards on two targets against Houston on Sunday. He also rushed once for 13 yards.
Analysis: Engram was red-hot going into Sunday's game, but the Jaguars passing game was mostly dormant in the 31-3 blowout victory. Jacksonville didn't have much reason to display its full playbook against a toothless opponent in a meaningless game, so perhaps Engram can get cooking again when the Jaguars face Tennessee for the AFC South title in Week 18.

Late-season surge continues in win
Engram secured seven of eight targets for 113 yards in the Jaguars' 19-3 win over the Jets on Thursday night.
Analysis: Engram comfortably paced the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets, continuing what has been a remarkable late-season breakout. The veteran tight end now has two 100-yard efforts in the last three games, putting together an elite 26-337-2 line on 33 targets over that span. Given his emergence and the Jaguars' ongoing postseason push, Engram figures to once again play a critical role in a Week 17 road matchup against the Texans a week from Sunday.

Leads team with eight catches
Engram recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 40-34 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Engram's sudden jump in involvement in the Jacksonville offense continued, as he tallied double-digit targets for the second consecutive week. That helped him lead the team in receptions, though he managed an inefficient 6.2 yards per target. Despite having long stretches with little production this season, Engram has seemingly emerged as a trustworthy option at tight end in the closing weeks of the season.

Shreds Titans in victory
Engram recorded 11 receptions on 15 targets for 162 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-22 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Engram had seen 14 targets combined across his last four games entering Sunday's matchup, but he suddenly became Trevor Lawrence's favorite target. He found the end zone on receptions of 12 and 21 yards to bring his touchdown total on the season to four. Engram also was potent with big plays, tallying four catches of 15 yards or more. He's topped 30 receiving yards in only six of 13 games this season, so despite the standout performance, it's difficult to project a duplicate effort in the near…read more

Gets into end zone during loss
Engram brought in five of seven targets for 30 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' 40-14 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Engram was second in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Christian Kirk, making it a somewhat atypical afternoon for the veteran tight end. Engram also recorded a three-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter, only his second touchdown of the season. Engram does now have multiple catches in six of the last eight games, but the fact he's topped 50 receiving yards on just three occasions caps his overall upside going into a tough Week 14 road matchup against the Titans.

Hauls in lone target
Engram caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 28-27 win against the Ravens.
Analysis: Engram played 81 percent of the Jaguars' offensive snaps but was minimally involved in the passing game. The 28-year-old caught 19 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown from Weeks 5 to 8, but he has only five catches for 26 yards across the past three games.

Quiet in Kansas City
Engram caught three of four targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Engram had a four-yard touchdown catch nullified by a penalty during the third quarter but otherwise played a minor role in the passing game. The 28-year-old didn't appear significantly bothered by the back injury he suffered last week and played 88 percent of the offensive snaps. He has only four catches for 22 yards over the past two games and will enter the Jaguars' Week 11 bye with 36 receptions for 352 yards and one touchdown on the season.

Cleared for Week 10 action
Engram (back) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs after practicing fully Friday.
Analysis: Per Adam Stites of USA Today, Engram played a season-low 55 percent of the Jaguars' snaps in last Sunday's win over the Raiders and was seen on the sideline receiving treatment on his back during that contest. In the process, Engram caught just one of his two targets for eight yards. Now that he's logged a full practice ahead of this week's game, Engram will be available Sunday and is a bounce-back candidate in the absence of any in-game setbacks.

Logs another limited practice
Engram (back) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: After having logged back-to-back limited practices, Engram presumably will need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against Kansas City. The tight end is coming off a one-catch effort in Week 9, and overall he's compiled a 33-338-1 line on 47 targets through nine games.

Limited practice Wednesday
Engram was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to a back issue.
Analysis: Per John Shipley of SI.com, head coach Doug Pederson previously called Engram day-to-day, but he noted that the tight end should be fine for this weekend's game against Kansas City. In this past Sunday's 27-20 win over the Raiders, Engram caught just one of his two targets for eight yards while logging a season-low 55 percent snap share and being spotted on the sideline receiving treatment on his back, according to Adam Stites of USA Today.

Should be fine for Week 10
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Engram, who briefly left Sunday's win over the Raiders due to a back injury, is considered day-to-day and should be fine for Week 10, John Shipley of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Engram caught one of two targets for eight yards during the contest, but after securing his only reception, he left the field pointing to his lower back. The talented tight end was able to return to the game and appears to have avoided a major injury, but fantasy mangers still are encouraged to monitor Engram's status throughout the week.

Tallies first touchdown
Engram recorded four receptions on six targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Engram led the Jaguars in receptions and yards, highlighted by a 22-yard touchdown to open the scoring in the first quarter. It was his first time in the end zone and his fourth reception of 20 or more yards for the season. Engram has quietly emerged as a consistent producer, as he's tallied at least four receptions in four consecutive games and has also topped 50 receiving yards three times in that span.

Four catches against former team
Engram caught four of seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Engram came two yards short of his season high, but it wasn't enough to beat the Giants team with which the tight end spent his first five seasons before leaving for Jacksonville in free agency. He's still searching for his first touchdown as a Jaguar heading into a Week 8 home game against the Broncos.

Five catches in Week 6
Engram caught five of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Engram has seen increased involvement recently, catching 11 of 16 targets for 109 yards over the past two weeks. The former Giants tight end has yet to find the end zone as a member of the Jaguars, but given the lack of tight end depth around the league, Engram's recent uptick in usage gives him appeal in deeper formats.

Season-high 10 targets
Engram had six receptions (10 targets) for 69 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Engram turned in his best fantasy line of the season after posting a pair of duds in Weeks 3 and 4 (two combined catches for 25 yards). The athletic tight end lived up to that label, showing burst on a couple of impressive catch and runs. The 27-year-old has 19 receptions for 168 yards and no touchdowns through five games as the Jaguars' starting tight end. Perhaps this strong game could get Engram going heading into a matchup against the Colts next Sunday.

One reception Sunday
Engram caught his lone target for 16 yards during Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: The 28-year-old was a prime candidate to be more involved in the passing game Sunday with Zay Jones (ankle) sitting out, but the offense as a whole struggled in large part due to Trevor Lawrence's five giveaways. Engram played 74 percent of the offensive snaps but now has only two receptions on four targets for 25 yards over the past two weeks.

Minimal production Week 3
Engram caught one of three targets for nine yards and rushed once for zero yards during Sunday's 38-10 win against the Chargers. He also caught a two-point conversion.
Analysis: Engram appeared to have his first touchdown of the season late in the first half, but the catch was ruled incomplete upon review. The 28-year-old played 76 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps but wasn't a factor in the passing game during the blowout victory, as Trevor Lawrence honed in on wideouts Christian Kirk and Zay Jones to great success. Engram now has 12 catches for 83 yards through the first three weeks of the season.

Engram caught seven of eight targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 24-0 win against the Colts.
Analysis: Engram once again worked as the Jaguars' primary tight end and led the team with eight targets, though the yardage was limited because most of his action came underneath. The 28-year-old has caught 11 of 12 targets for 74 yards through the first two weeks of the season.

Catches four passes Week 1
Engram caught all four of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 28-22 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Engram tied for fourth on Jacksonville in targets and unsurprisingly operated as the team's clear No. 1 tight end. The 28-year-old wasn't significantly involved in the passing game, as wideouts Christian Kirk and Zay Jones combined for 21 targets on Trevor Lawrence's 42 pass attempts. Engram will need to become more involved if he's to be anything more than a touchdown-reliant fantasy option this year.

Modest season in Year 5
Engram caught 46 of 73 targets for 408 yards and three TDs in 2021.
Analysis: The 23rd overall pick in 2017, Engram has been a disappointment in New York, though his modest production in 2021 can hardly be blamed on him. He'll be a free agent after the season, and he's likely to ply his wares elsewhere in 2022. There's still a ton of physical talent here (4.42 40), but Engram's focus has been inconsistent, and he's not much of a blocker.

Though Engram is seeing consistent involvement in New York's passing attack, it hasn't yielded much meaningful fantasy production.

Looking good to play
Engram (calf) is expected to make his 2021 debut Sunday afternoon against the Falcons, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The tight end never quite progressed to full participation, but he did say Friday that he'd had a "great" week of practice and should be ready for the game Sunday. With Engram out of the lineup the past two weeks, Kyle Rudolph handled 74 percent snap share and seven targets, while Kaden Smith got 47 percent share and two looks. Engram is officially listed as questionable this week, though he can probably be viewed as 'probable' at this point.

Deemed questionable, but optimistic
Engram (calf) believes he's ready to return for Sunday's game against Atlanta, but the Giants have him listed as questionable on their final injury report, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Engram said a "great" week of practice has him ready for his season debut, though the Giants listed him as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday. He does seem more likely than not to play, albeit in a potential timeshare now that the Giants have Kyle Rudolph, who has seven targets and 74 percent snap share through two weeks. The team even has a competent No. 3 TE in Kaden Smith, though his role (47 percent of snaps) is on even thinner ice than Rudolph's once Engram is back in the mix.…read more

Looking good at practice
Engram (calf) is practicing again Friday and seems to be on track for Sunday's game against Atlanta, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Given that he missed the first two games of the season, Engram likely will be listed as questionable even if the Giants expect him to play. It's still too soon to count on that outcome, considering Engram remained limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday. An upgrade to full participation Friday would create far more confidence about his status for Sunday, with Engram hoping to rejoin the lineup in time for a favorable matchup against a Falcons defense that's given up eight passing TDs already.

Limited again at practice
Engram (calf) was limited at practice Thursday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Engram has ramped up his activity level this week as he prepares for his potential season debut, logging capped sessions to date. He even served as the No. 1 tight end during drills Wednesday, implying the Giants are getting close to clearing him for game action. Friday's injury report could give some insight into whether Engram's return to play is near.

Officially limited Wednesday
Engram (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Engram got back on the practice field this week, managing showings both Monday and Wednesday. In the first session, he was the second tight end in drills, while he bumped up to No. 1 in the second one, per Tom Rock of Newsday. Clearly, Engram is trending in the right direction to make his season debut Sunday against the Falcons, but there's a chance a decision on his availability comes down to the wire.

Present for practice
Engram (calf) took part in practice Wednesday, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Since missing his second game in a row to begin the campaign last Thursday, Engram has been a participant in back-to-back sessions. On Monday, he was the second tight end in drills, while he bumped up to his typical No. 1 spot Wednesday. If the preceding is any indication, he's setting himself up for his season debut Sunday against the Falcons.

Engram (calf) is participating in drills Monday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The Giants aren't hosting a full padded practice Monday, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see Engram handling drills after he was listed as a non-participant in every practice during the first two weeks of the season. The tight end will continue to ramp up his workload with a possible eye toward making his season debut versus the Falcons in Week 3.

Ruled out for Thursday
Engram (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's game at Washington, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Engram has been a non-participant in every practice through two weeks, and he's no lock to be ready when the Giants start preparing for their Week 3 game Sept. 26 against the Falcons. With Engram out of the lineup Week 1, replacement starter Kaden Smith went without a target and held down a 48-percent snap share, while Kyle Rudolph technically came off the bench but finished with five targets and 77 percent of snaps.

Prior to the session, Giants head coach Joe Judge told Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News that Engram is moving around better and added that he's hopeful the tight end will play against the Football Team, but that may be wishful thinking at this stage.

Analysis: The Giants just held a walkthrough Monday, but Engram would not have been able to participate had they held a practice. With a short turnaround before Thursday's game against Washington, Engram looks likely to miss a second consecutive contest to open the season, though he's yet to be ruled out at this point.

Out for Week 1
Engram (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Denver, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: With no practice participation this week, Engram seems unlikely to make it back for a Thursday game against Washington in Week 2. There is some good news for the G-Men, however, with fellow tight ends Kyle Rudolph (foot) and Kaden Smith (knee) both cleared to play Sunday. They're the only healthy tight ends on the roster, but New York does carry two fullbacks (Elijhaa Penny, Cullen Gillaspia) and also has a first-round pick (Kadarius Toney) in the No. 4 WR role.

Idle for another practice
Engram (calf) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: For the second day in a row, Engram was relegated to working out on a side field and didn't mix into team drills. Giants head coach Joe Judge has yet to make an official call on Engram's status for Sunday's season opener versus the Broncos, but the tight end looks to be trending toward sitting out Week 1. Kyle Rudolph, who is managing a foot injury of his own but is expected to play Sunday, looks poised to handle the bulk of the tight end reps sans Engram.

No practice Wednesday
Engram (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: At Monday's session, there was a glimmer of hope that Engram was taking a step in the right direction by catching passes in pads. However, his calf issue contained him to a side field with the Giants' training staff Wednesday, giving him just two more practices to prove his health. If Engram is unable to go Sunday against the Broncos, Kyle Rudolph (foot, limited) and Kaden Smith (knee, limited) are the prime candidates to cover for him at tight end.

Still, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Monday that Engram has a slim chance to suit up for Week 1 against the Broncos, so his status throughout preparation for that game in the coming days will be worthwhile to monitor.

Engram (calf) is a long shot to play in Sunday's season opener against Denver, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Analysis: The Giants aren't quite ready to rule Engram out but seem to be preparing for a Week 1 absence after he injured his calf in the final preseason game. Kyle Rudolph (foot) and Kaden Smith are the other tight ends on New York's 53-man roster, with the former also uncertain for Week 1 as he works his way back from offseason foot surgery.

Engram (calf) hasn't done much on the practice field this week, Dan Duggan of The Athletic.
Analysis: Duggan adds that Engram was having a good summer prior to injuring his calf in the final preseason game. The tight end has been a repeated disappointment for both fantasy managers and the Giants, but he just turned 27 and stills ranks among the league's fastest players at his position. That said, he'll likely lose a bunch of last year's snaps to Kyle Rudolph, who also looks questionable for Week 1 in the aftermath of offseason foot surgery.

Engram (calf) may not be ready for Week 1, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Coach Joe judge used the team "gray area" when discussing Engram and his recent calf injury, noting that the Giants will need to see how the tight end progresses later this week. For the time being, Engram and Kyle Rudolph (calf) both look shaky for Week 1 against Denver, potentially leaving Kaden Smith as the starting tight end. Engram hurt his calf during Sunday's preseason loss to the Patriots, exiting in the first half after catching two of three targets for 22 yards.

Engram is undergoing tests to determine the severity of his calf injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: With just under two weeks left until the Giants' season opener, the timing of the tight end's injury is problematic.

Prior to his exit Sunday, he gathered in all three of his targets for 22 yards.

Dealing with minor injury
Engram worked with the training staff during Thursday's joint practice with the Patriots, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: He's seemingly bothered by a minor injury, with a limited practice Wednesday and now an absence Thursday morning. The Giants reportedly planned to play Engram for at least the first half of Sunday's preseason finale against New England, but it's no longer clear the tight end will be able to play.

Analysis: Engram will be working under a fifth-year option, which was guaranteed for injury only until the start of the league year at 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday. He's still one of the fastest tight ends in the league, but between injuries, drops and poor blocking, Engram hasn't lived up to his first-round billing. The Giants could eventually give tight end Kaden Smith more snaps if Engram's 2020 woes carry over to 2021.

So far this week, his practice reps have been capped, but Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com noted Engram seemed to be "more involved" Thursday than he was at Wednesday's session.

Analysis: Engram injured his left ankle in the fourth quarter of last Sunday's 27-13 loss to Baltimore, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 65 yards before leaving the field. The 26-year-old is just one game away from logging the first full season of his career, but it looks like he can't be considered a lock to suit up for Sunday's upcoming must-win game against the Cowboys.

Engram (ankle) secured seven of 10 targets for 65 yards during Sunday's 27-13 loss to Baltimore. He went down holding his left ankle late in the fourth quarter, per Madelyn Burke of WFAN.
Analysis: Engram attracted double-digit targets for the fourth time this season, tying his second-greatest receiving output of the campaign with his 65-yard Week 16 performance.

Analysis: The calf issue limited Engram's participation in Wednesday's practice and throughout the Giants' sessions last week, but his return to full activity Thursday clears the way for the tight end to play Sunday in Baltimore. Engram's 95 targets on the season are good for third among all tight ends this season, but a poor 6.0 yards per target average has diminished some of the value of all those looks he's received.

Analysis: As was expected, Engram will be out there after injuring his knee at Friday's practice, which led to a questionable designation for Week 15. Kaden Smith (knee) also is available for when the Giants utilize two-TE sets, but Engram is the pass catcher of the position group. While he has just three games of more than 60 yards this season, Engram draws a Cleveland defense that has conceded the fifth-most touchdowns (nine) to tight ends this season.

Engram (calf) is expected to play Sunday against the Browns, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Giants needed a bit of good news after it was reported earlier in the day Daniel Jones (hamstring/ankle) was unlikely to start the marquee matchup Sunday night against the Browns. Engram popped up on the injury report late in the week with a calf injury, but the 26-year-old tight end certainly seems to be trending in the right direction to play.

Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring/ankle) and backup tight end Kaden Smith (knee) also are listed as questionable.

Posts first 100-yard game
Engram caught six of nine targets for 129 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Engram nearly doubled his previous season high in receiving yardage thanks in large part to a season-long 53-yard gain. He also tied his high mark for receptions as he accounted for over half the team's receiving output on the day. The majority of Engram's production came before Daniel Jones (hamstring) suffered an injury and, despite next Sunday's inviting matchup with a porous Seahawks pass defense, his fantasy value could suffer if Colt McCoy starts under center.

Bounces back well
Engram caught five of 10 targets for 61 yards in Monday night's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers. He also rushed once for nine yards.
Analysis: Engram rebounded relatively well from his costly drops in Week 7's defeat. In fact, the tight end made a season-long catch of 30 yards, and earlier came very close to scoring his first receiving touchdown of the campaign. The 26-year-old has now seen at least nine targets in consecutive weeks, helping him post two of his three best yardage totals to date. That uptick in production bodes well ahead of Sunday's game against Washington.

Engram brought in six of nine targets for 46 yards in the Giants' 22-21 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. He also rushed twice for three yards.

However, one of three looks Engram couldn't convert into a catch looms large of this narrow defeat, as his failure to bring in a perfectly thrown pass from Daniel Jones on third down with 2:14 remaining forced New York to punt the ball back to Philadelphia.

Gets into end zone Sunday
Engram caught one of two targets for 16 yards and gained nine rushing yards and a touchdown on two carries in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The tight end opened the scoring for the Giants midway through the first quarter on a reverse, taking the pitch from Daniel Jones and eluding Everson Griffen for a three-yard score, Engram's first visit to the end zone this season. However, he saw little attention afterward. After seeing a season-high 10 targets in last week's loss to the Rams, his lack of activity as a receiver was a disappointment. Engram will look to earn a more consistent role in Week 6 against Washington.

Does little with big volume
Engram caught six of 10 targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: He led the Giants in targets on the afternoon as Daniel Jones was forced to get rid of the ball quickly, but Engram wasn't able to do much with the volume. The fourth-year tight end has only 131 receiving yards through four games and has yet to find the end zone, but that could change in Week 5 against a reeling Cowboys defense that's allowed a touchdown to a TE in each of its last three contests.

Quiet day in loss
Engram secured three of five targets for 22 yards in the Giants' 36-9 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Engram's day is accurately encapsulated by his underwhelming stats, which were particularly disappointing on a day when the Giants were missing Saquon Barkley (knee) and Sterling Shepard (toe). The fourth-year tight end was reportedly looking very explosive during training camp after missing the second half of last season with a foot injury, but he's now averaging just 8.7 yards per grab on his 11 receptions through three games. Engram will look to better his numbers across the board versus…read more

Registers 65 yards versus Bears
Engram caught six of eight targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Engram was targeted just once in the first half, but QB Daniel Jones turned to him when trying to put together a comeback. The fourth-year TE ended up leading the team in receptions, targets and receiving yards. This increase in usage came after Sterling Shepard (toe) and Saquon Barkley (knee) left the game. Barkley may be done for the year with a torn ACL, but Shepard's injury doesn't appear to be as serious. When Shepard returns, the two could battle for targets.

Dismal in opener
Engram caught two of seven targets for nine yards in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Engram dropped his first target, then narrowly missed a wide-open touchdown shortly after, failing to connect with quarterback Daniel Jones from two yards out. The tight end ultimately got in the catch column with a couple grabs late, but it overall was a disappointing season debut. On the bright side, Engram trailed only Saquon Barkley and Darius Slayton in targets, and Week 2's meeting with the Bears could offer a more even matchup, raising hopes for a rebound.

Showing no sign of injury
Engram has looked "as explosive as ever" during training camp, according to NJ.com's Art Stapleton.
Analysis: Stapleton isn't the only beat writer to take notice of Engram, with Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com confirming that the tight end was the star of Monday's practice. Coach Joe Judge and teammate Sterling Shepard also provided glowing reviews, all but confirming that Engram has shown no ill effects from the Lisfranc injury that ended his 2019 season. He's averaged at least 4.1 catches and 48.1 yards per game in each of his three pro seasons, but the combination of injuries (14 missed games) and…read more

Set to practice
Engram is ready for training camp after a "very strong and very aggressive rehab" from surgery to repair a Lisfranc sprain in his left foot, Matt Lombardo of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. "Each and every day I was just trying to find ways to get better," Engram said Monday.
Analysis: Engram has been saddled with injuries during his three-year career, with 2019 serving as the low point. Appearing in just eight games, he still managed to tally 44 catches (on 68 targets) for 467 yards and three touchdowns. Following his December surgery, Engram progressed to on-field work at full speed by June and seemingly is set to participate in practice later this week.

Could be eased into camp
Engram (foot) has been out on the field doing work, but coach Joe Judge suggested he isn't sure if the tight end will be a full go at the start of training camp, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Engram downplayed the severity of his Lisfranc injury back in December after surgery, and he's been doing full-speed agility work since at least last June. Judge's uncertainty about the situation doesn't necessarily mean the tight end will have any limitations, but it will be worth keeping an eye on once the Giants start for practicing for real in mid-August. The Giants chose to keep Engram off the PUP list, making him eligible for all activities.

Analysis: Engram had Lisfranc surgery in December, but he indicated at the time that he wasn't dealing with a "full-blown tear," and he seems to have avoided the lengthy rehab process that Eagles wideout Alshon Jeffery is contending with. In any case, the Giants picked up the fifth-year option on Engram's rookie contract, keeping him under team control through 2021.

Putting in on-field work
Engram (foot) posted a video on his personal Instagram account Monday of himself working on his footwork in a variety of drills, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Engram was limited to eight games in 2019 due to a left knee injury and later a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, the latter of which required surgery in mid-December. Without the benefit of on-field workouts this offseason, his recovery was reported to be on pace but wasn't entirely known until Monday's post. In April, the Giants picked up the fifth-year option on Engram's contract, keeping him in New York for the next two seasons. For his career, he's averaged 7.1 YPT and scored 12 touchdowns…read more

Fifth-year option exercised
The Giants picked up Engram's (foot) fifth-year option for 2021 on Wednesday.
Analysis: Though the 25-year-old missed eight games last season and underwent surgery to address the Lisfranc injury to his left foot in December, it's not a surprise that the Giants elected to pick up his option for 2021. Engram finished the season with 44 catches for 467 yards and three touchdowns prior to being shut down, and if health prevails, he should be back as one of Daniel Jones' top targets in 2020.

Seen running on treadmill
Engram (foot) was spotted running on a treadmill Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: It's unclear whether Engram is still using his walking boot when he's not working out, but his activity is nonetheless a positive progression in his rehab from a late-December Lisfranc surgery. The speedy tight end is still awaiting for word whether his fifth-year option will be picked up, though the 2017 first-round pick is generally expected to be retained through 2021 thanks to his strong production when he's been healthy enough to play.

Engram (foot) remains in a walking boot and isn't expected to practice until training camp, Ryan Dunleavy of the NY Post reports.
Analysis: Engram had surgery Dec. 20 to address a Lisfranc injury in his left foot, and while he said the ligament wasn't completely torn, he nonetheless faces a lengthy rehab process. The 23rd overall pick from the 2017 draft has averaged 4.5 catches for 51.9 yards and 0.35 touchdowns per game through three seasons, playing in 34 of a possible 48 contests.

Eyeing return for offseason program
Engram (foot) said Monday that he expects to make a full recovery from the surgery he required earlier this month and return to full activity for the start of the Giants' offseason program this spring, Bob Glauber of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Engram confirmed that his left foot surgery entailed repairing the Lisfranc ligament, though the tight end indicated he wasn't dealing with a "full-blown tear." While that bodes well for Engram's chances of bouncing back from the procedure, he'll likely need to showcase better health in 2020 in order to make a serious case for a lucrative contract extension.

Analysis: The 2017 first-round pick has worked as a limited practice participant this week and hasn't appeared to suffer a setback, but he apparently hasn't progressed enough from the left foot sprain to make returning from the four-game absence worth the risk.

Non-committal on 2019 return

Analysis: After Engram opened this week as a limited participant in practice, initial reports suggested the tight end was on track to put an end to his three-game absence, but his condition apparently took a turn for the worse Saturday. Engram was a spectator for the Giants' final practice of Week 14, ensuring he would be sidelined for yet another game.

Analysis: The outcome is a disappointing one for Engram, as coach Pat Shurmur had previously expressed optimism that the tight end would be ready to return from a four-week absence to play Monday night. With Engram's strained left foot still troubling him, however, rookie Kaden Smith should be in line to act as the Giants' top pass-catching tight end for another week.

He'll be inactive for a third straight game when the Giants host the Packers on Sunday, joined by fellow tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) in street clothes.

Fellow tight end Rhett Ellison has also been ruled out for Week 12, which leaves Scott Simonson as the likely starter at the position in Sunday's contest.

Engram (foot) is set to receive a second opinion on his injury from foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, who will review the results of the MRI the tight end underwent following Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The fact that the tight end underwent an MRI is new information, as coach Pat Shurmur only noted in his media session Tuesday that Engram was dealing with a "little bit of a sore foot" in the aftermath of the Week 9 game.

Makes six catches
Engram caught six of eight targets for 48 yards in Monday night's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: He tied Saquon Barkley and Golden Tate for New York's team lead in receptions, with the former also matching Engram's target total atop that category. Despite the high involvement, however, quarterback Daniel Jones wasn't able stretch the field much, resulting in Engram's fifth straight game with under 55 yards. He'll hope to buck that trend in Week 10 against a Jets defense currently surrendering the ninth-most passing yardage per game.
