  • Does little with five catches

    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. The veteran tight end may fare better if Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) can get back under center in Week 13 against the Texans following a Week 12 bye.

  • 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.

  • Catches first TD of 2024

    Engram caught four of five targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Engram cashed in his first touchdown of the season in the second half of a narrow loss to Green Bay. 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. Engram carries value into a Week 9 matchup against the Eagles next Sunday.

    Engram (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: After missing four straight games with a hamstring injury from Weeks 2 through 6, Engram has suited up in both of Jacksonville's last two contests while putting together a 15-137-0 receiving line on 15 targets. He was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but his ability to take every rep a day later likely implies that his reps were capped to begin the week merely for maintenance purposes.

  • Begins week with limited practice

    Engram (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Engram missed four straight games with the hamstring injury earlier in the season, and though the Jaguars continue to manage his practice reps, he has suited up for the last two contests while catching all 15 of his targets between Weeks 6 and 7. Barring a setback, Engram should be available for a favorable matchup Sunday against a Packers defense that has struggled to contain tight ends this season.

  • Underwhelming yardage in win

    Engram secured all five targets for 35 yards in the Jaguars' 32-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in London.

    Analysis: Engram finished tied with Brian Thomas for the team lead in receptions and targets, but he was a distant second to his teammate in receiving yards. 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. Despite the modest production Sunday, Engram encouragingly has a 15-137-0 line on 15 targets over his first two games back from a hamstring injury, affording him plenty of…read more

    Engram (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: Engram had a productive return from a four-week absence due to a hamstring injury in Jacksonville's 35-16 loss to the Bears this past Sunday, logging 10 catches for 102 yards. He was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday by the same injury but has been cleared for action Sunday after a full session Friday, sparing Engram's fantasy managers the headache of getting up early to check on his status before Sunday's 9:30 a.m. ET kickoff at Wembley Stadium in England.

Injury reports Thursday and Friday should provide a better idea about whether his hamstring is still a concern heading into Sunday's game against the Patriots, or if the Jaguars are just being cautious.

    Engram secured all 10 targets for 102 yards and lost a fumble in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.

    Analysis: Engram led the Jaguars in receptions, receiving yards and targets in his return from a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury. 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.

  • Expected to suit up Sunday

    Engram (hamstring) remains listed as questionable but is likely to play in Sunday's game versus Chicago in London, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schefter's report follows an earlier one from Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports, who described Engram as trending toward playing. The tight end thus looks set to put an end to a four-game absence after injuring his hamstring during pregame warmups prior to Cleveland's second game of the campaign. Brenton Strange has been filling in for Engram as the Jaguars' starting tight end and will likely revert to a backup role Sunday.

    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.

    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.

    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.

With Christian Kirk (calf) sidelined, Engram was Lawrence's favorite target and caught touchdown receptions of five and six yards.

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.

    Analysis: Engram scored his first touchdown of the season on a 22-yard catch in the second quarter to put the Jaguars ahead 14-7. 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: Engram kept his typical role in the Jacksonville offense, as he finished tied for second on the team in targets. However, he was limited to short areas of the field, with his longest gain of the day going for 13 yards. That usage is nothing new, as Engram now has under 50 receiving yards in five of his last six contests.

  • Held in check Sunday

    Engram caught four of seven targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 34-3 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Quarterback Trevor Lawrence threw for just 185 yards in the blowout loss, with Christian Kirk being the lone notable producer with six catches for 104 yards. Engram finished second on the team in targets but was unable to do much with those looks, setting a season low in yardage and tying a season low in receptions. The Week 11 matchup with Tennessee should present a more favorable outlook for Jacksonville's offense.

  • Ten catches in Week 8 win

    Engram caught all 10 of his targets for 88 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Engram has seen plenty of volume throughout the season, but the tight end has yet to find the end zone while doing most of his damage near the line of scrimmage. He led the Jaguars in receiving yards in this game and set a season high in that category, but Engram also lost a fumble in the red zone. Heading into Jacksonville's Week 9 bye, the tight end has 51 catches for 434 yards on 61 targets.

  • Five receptions in Week 7 win

    Engram secured five of seven targets for 45 yards in the Jaguars' 31-24 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Engram finished second in receptions and receiving yards for the Jaguars on the night with his sixth tally of at least five catches on the campaign. While the veteran tight end has been capped at 67 receiving yards this season as far as a single-game high, his role in the team's offense (51 targets in seven games) remains steady. Next up for Engram is a Week 8 road matchup against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 29.

    Engram brought in all seven targets for 41 yards in the Jaguars' 37-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Engram led the Jaguars in receptions by a comfortable margin as Trevor Lawrence (knee) threw for only 181 yards at 6.0 yards per attempt. The veteran tight end now has seven catches in three of the last four contests, and he's already up to 44 targets through six games, putting him on pace to surpass last season's 98.

  • Just 28 yards Week 5

    Engram caught four of eight targets for 28 yards during Sunday's 25-20 win over Buffalo.

    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. It's the third straight game with exactly eight targets for Engram, and if that trend continues, he should continue to have a decent fantasy floor even as the tertiary option in Jacksonville's passing game.

    Engram caught seven of eight targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Engram trailed only wideout Christian Kirk for Jacksonville's team lead in catches, targets and receiving yards. The tight end has hauled in at least five passes in all four games this season, garnering eight looks in three straight weeks. However, Engram is yet to find the end zone, something he'll strive to change in the Week 5 game against the Bills in London.

    Engram brought in seven of eight targets for 67 yards in the Jaguars' 37-17 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Engram led the Jaguars' pass catchers across the stat sheet with his second straight solid performance. The veteran tight end recorded season highs in receptions and receiving yards while also tying his high-water mark in targets, as he essentially continues in the same robust role he enjoyed in 2022. Engram's next opportunity to build on his early season momentum comes in a Week 4 matchup versus the Falcons in London.

    Analysis: Engram has 11 catches through two weeks after averaging 4.3 catches per game last season, with 73 in 17 appearances. The 29-year-old tight end has a consistent role in Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence-led passing game ahead of the team's Week 3 home game against Houston.

    Engram caught all five of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: It was a strong start to the season for the tight end, who gained more than half his yards on a 26-yard grab in the third quarter that helped set up a Jacksonville field goal. 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.

    Analysis: Engram remained heavily involved in the Jaguars' offense, and he closed the season with at least six targets in five of his last eight games. He didn't do much with his opportunity in Saturday's loss, though he did manage receptions of 16 and 10 yards. Engram recorded a career-best 73 receptions and 766 yards across 17 games in the regular season, and that should help him land a fairly substantial deal in free agency this offseason.

He also began Jacksonville's comeback effort with a nine-yard touchdown catch just before halftime.

    Engram caught all four passes for 27 yards during Saturday's 20-16 win against the Titans.

    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.

    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.

That helped him lead the team in receptions, though he managed an inefficient 6.2 yards per 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.

    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.

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.

    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.

It was his first time in the end zone and his fourth reception of 20 or more yards for the season.

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.

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.

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 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.

    Analysis: Engram is an inconsistent player stuck in a terrible passing game. He's yet to reach even 65 receiving yards in any game this season.

  • Makes four catches

    Engram recorded four receptions on five targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Engram was able to take advantage of several absences among the Giants' receiving corps to lead the team in receiving yards. He overcame a largely dysfunctional Giants offense to record four double-digit gains, ranging from 10 to 18 yards. Though he hasn't posted exceptional numbers, Engram has found a consistent role in the offense by recording at least three receptions in seven of his nine games this season.

  • Makes three catches

    Engram caught three passes for 37 yards on six targets against Philadelphia on Sunday.

    Analysis: The efficiency was less than sparkling, but there's perhaps encouragement to be found in the fact that Engram's six targets were the second-highest total for the Giants on Sunday, trailing only Kenny Golladay's seven. The Giants passing game might need to lean on Engram again when they head to Miami in Week 13, especially if slot receivers Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney miss that game with their respective quadriceps injuries. The question of whether Engram and Daniel Jones can capitalize…read more

  • Catches two passes Week 11

    Engram caught two of five targets for 12 yards in Monday's 30-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Engram played 90 percent of the team's offensive snaps Monday, the most of any Giants pass catcher. The team struggled moving the ball through the air against Tampa Bay, and Engram wasn't able to get much going after scoring a touchdown in both of his previous two games.

  • Finds end zone again

    Engram recorded three receptions on three targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: Engram tied for second on the team with only three targets, an indication of how little the Giants took to the air Sunday. However, he was efficient with his targets, highlighted by a 30-yard touchdown reception to cap the team's first offensive possession. Engram has now found the end zone in each of his last two games and has benefited from New York's banged-up receiving corps. That could change moving forward, however, as the Giants head into a Week 10 bye that will presumably allow them to…read more

  • Scores in defeat

    Engram caught three of four targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Engram didn't get involved until the second half, but he put the Giants ahead with a five-yard touchdown catch to begin the fourth quarter. That marked the tight end's first trip to the end zone this season. Although usually hard to rely on, Engram's stock could benefit from New York's other offensive skill-position players being so banged up in advance of Week 9's matchup versus the Raiders.

  • All clear for Monday

    Engram (calf) was not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Engram was never in any serious jeopardy of missing Monday's game and has an opportunity to build on his season-high marks from last week with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) once again unable to play. This could also be a showcase contest for the 2017 first-round pick given the ever-increasing trade rumors surrounding Engram as the team once again limps through a disappointing campaign.

    Engram (calf) remained limited in practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Engram missed the first two games of the season due to his injured calf, but he has suited up for every game since despite frequent appearances on Big Blue's injury report. With trade rumors swirling around him heading into the Nov. 2 trade deadline, Engram will have an opportunity to entice potential suitors with a strong performance Monday against a Chiefs defense that has allowed a league-high 575 yards to tight ends through seven games.

He'll have two more practices to prove his health ahead of Monday's visit to Kansas City.

    Engram isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Engram is inside team facilities working with the training staff to begin Wednesday's session, so he's seemingly tending to an injury. The tight end was banged up heading into the Giants' Week 7 win over the Panthers, but he played through a calf injury en route to recording six receptions for 44 yards on eight targets.

  • Tallies six receptions

    Engram recorded six receptions on eight targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: Engram led the team with six receptions, as he benefited from the absence of Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle). He worked primarily in the short areas of the field but did manage an 18-yard gain late in the first quarter to push the Giants deep into Carolina territory. Engram now has at least three receptions in each of his last four games, though his ability to rack up targets will be hurt as the team's receiving corps gets healthier.

His production has been less than inspiring -- 14 catches (on 21 targets) for 127 yards and no TDs -- but he should be a key part of the game plan in a skill-position group without Saquon Barkley (ankle), Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle).

    Analysis: After missing Thursday's practice, Engram returned to the field Friday as a limited participant. While Engram's ability to conclude the week as a practice participant bodes well for his chances of being available Week 7, fantasy managers will still want to make sure he avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

That being said, fantasy managers will still need to double check Engram's status prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Kyle Rudolph would step in as the Giants' top tight end if Engram can't go.

    Engram secured three of five targets for 24 yards in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

    Analysis: Despite the Giants being down multiple receivers and Saquon Barkley (ankle), Engram failed to make any notable impact and drew a disappointingly low number of targets. The 27-year-old has now seen his catch total fall below that of the previous game in each of the last two contests, a trend he'll try to reverse versus the Panthers at home in Week 7.

    Analysis: Engram's season-best yardage total and 13.8 YPC figure can be looked at in one of two ways. From one perspective, his tally and increased downfield role represented a significant improvement from the first two games of the season, when he averaged just under seven yards per grab. From another angle, the fifth-year tight end's production was somewhat underwhelming, considering the Giants came into the game without Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard due to hamstring injuries, then lost Kenny…read more

    Analysis: Engram tied with Saquon Barkley for third on the team in targets but struggled to get open downfield, with the tight end's longest gain going for just eight yards. Given his persistent struggles with drops and lack of explosiveness since returning from a calf injury, Engram will be tough to trust against the Cowboys in Week 5.

    Engram caught two of six targets for 21 yards and lost a fumble in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Engram made his season debut after previously being sidelined with a calf issue. The tight end made a couple of grabs, but Engram otherwise wasn't very effective, even on a day when starting wideouts Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard both suffered hamstring injuries. To make matters worse, Engram coughed the ball up in the second quarter, starting his season on a sour note. The veteran will aim for improvement Week 4 versus the Saints.

He didn't even make it back to the practice field until Monday, but he already was the first tight end in drills as of Wednesday before putting together three limited sessions in a row.

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.

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.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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 is slated to play at least the first half of next Sunday's preseason finale versus the Patriots, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Kept out of the Giants' first two exhibitions to date, Engram now is poised to get some in-game reps before the regular season. He'll be doing so with Daniel Jones, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton, but it remains to be seen if Saquon Barkley (knee) and Kenny Golladay (hamstring) will do enough this week to be given the all-clear by the team.

  • Gets salary guarantee

    Engram's $6.01 million salary for 2021 became fully guaranteed Wednesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    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.

  • Quiet in win over Cowboys

    Engram caught two of his four targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 23-19 win over the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Engram tied for second on the team in targets, though his four looks were well behind team-leader Sterling Shepard's 10. He recorded a long gain of 14 yards but managed a short pickup with his other grab and later dropped a pass on what could've been a big play. Engram was held to 35 yards or less in nine of his 16 appearances this season but still finishes with 654 yards, one touchdown and a Pro Bowl nod. Moreover, he could find himself playing in the postseason if the Eagles defeat Washington…read more

  • Fine for Sunday

    Engram (calf) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game against Dallas, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Neither is wideout Sterling Shepard (rib), but slot man Golden Tate (calf) is listed as doubtful. The Giants' struggling passing game will likely go through Engram, Shepard and Darius Slayton, just as it has all season.

  • Another limited practice

    Engram (calf) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Engram has made it through a season relatively unscathed for the first time in four years as a pro, but he hurt his left ankle in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's defeat at Baltimore. 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. Friday's practice report will provide a sense of Engram's odds to play Sunday versus the Cowboys.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Engram (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: During the media-access portion of the practice, Engram was spotted working out on the side with trainers, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Engram evidently increased his activity behind the scenes, and the Giants appear optimistic about his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Cowboys. The tight end will still likely need to upgrade to full participation in practice by Friday to avoid taking a designation into the Week 17 contest.

  • Set to practice

    Engram (ankle) is slated to practice in some capacity Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Joe Judge has expressed a degree of optimism that Engram will be able to play Sunday against the Cowboys, a notion supported by the tight end's presence on the practice field Wednesday. Engram suffered the ankle injury late in last week's loss to the Ravens, finishing the day with 70 yards from scrimmage on eight touches.

  • Looking iffy for Week 17

    Coach Joe Judge said Monday that he's "optimistic" about the health of Engram (ankle), but he noted that the tight end still has to meet with team doctors, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    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. Kaden Smith will work as the Giants' top tight end if Engram can't go.

  • Hurt late in loss

    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. He and Sterling Shepard were the clear top targets along with Darius Slayton, and there's reason to believe that trend will continue given Engram's average of 7.6 targets per game over his past five outings. The first-time Pro Bowl tight end did seemingly hurt his ankle in the late stages of Sunday's loss, and that will be a…read more

  • Puts in full practice

    Engram (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    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.

    Engram was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a calf injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The same injury limited him in practice last week, but he suited up for the Giants' loss to the Browns without issue. As such, there's no real reason to worry about Engram's status for Week 16 as long as he can continue logging at least limited participation in practices.

    Engram caught four of seven targets for 46 yards Sunday against the Browns.

    Analysis: He was nursing a calf injury heading into the game, but it didn't seem to affect his workload. He'll remain involved in the offense, but there's not a ton to go around given the state of quarterback play.

  • Playing Sunday, as expected

    Engram (calf) is listed as active Sunday versus the Browns, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    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.

  • Likely playing Sunday night

    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. Engram is on pace to set career highs in receptions and receiving yards despite an inefficient season overall.

  • Late addition to injury report

    Engram was added to the Giants' injury report Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland with a calf injury, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: The timing suggests Engram got hurt during practice Thursday or Friday, leaving his availability in question for Sunday's contest. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring/ankle) and backup tight end Kaden Smith (knee) also are listed as questionable. There are a lot of variables to sort out, and a late kickoff (8:20 p.m. ET) won't make things any easier on Engram's fantasy managers.

  • Modest game against Cardinals

    Engram caught two of his four targets for 18 yards against the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: The Giants offense was bad generally, and all the pass catchers were dragged down by it. Engram should continue to see regular targets and is capable of making big plays when he's not dropping passes or inadvertently tipping them to defenders.

  • Opportunity shrinks

    Engram recorded four receptions on eight targets for 32 yards in Week 13 against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Engram led the Giants in targets and yards, but he was limited in opportunity given that Colt McCoy attempted only 22 passes. Engram worked exclusively in short areas of the field, as his longest reception went for 11 yards. Although the team still managed to earn a victory, Engram also had a key error as a pass directed his way deep in Seahawks territory bounced off his hands and resulted in a turnover.

  • 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.

  • Two catches in divisional win

    Engram secured two of his three targets for 15 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-17 win against the Eagles.

    Analysis: The receiving corps ruled the roost for New York on Sunday, as Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard and Golden Tate finished first, second and third on the team in targets, amassing 13 combined receptions for 184 yards. Engram endured a quiet outing after logging five or more catches in each of his preceding three appearances entering Sunday, as he had amassed 16 receptions for 155 yards and a touchdown on a plentiful 29 targets Weeks 7 through 9.

  • Nabs first TD of 2020

    Engram caught five of his 10 targets for 48 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 win against Washington.

    Analysis: Engram got out to an inconsistent start to the 2020 campaign, posting an impressive 65-yard outing Week 2 against the Bears, but otherwise recording 35 or fewer receiving yards in five of his first six outings of the season. The fourth-year tight end has been much more consistent with 5.3 catches and 51.7 receiving yards per game over his past three outings, plus he finally broke through with his first TD of 2020 against Washington on Sunday. With it still yet to be determined if Golden Tate…read more

  • 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.

  • Key drop in loss

    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.

    Analysis: The athletic tight end's final numbers were certainly serviceable, as he tied Sterling Shepard (toe) for the team lead in receptions and paced the Giants in targets. 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.

    Analysis: The athletic tight end continued to underwhelm Sunday, although some of the blame has to be laid at the feet of quarterback Daniel Jones. Engram has logged just five total targets over the last two contests, although he salvaged his fantasy day to an extent in Week 5 with a rushing touchdown. Engram has now posted 35 or fewer receiving yards in four consecutive contests, leaving fantasy managers hoping for a much-needed resurgence in a Week 7 Thursday night battle versus an Eagles team that's…read more

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

In any case, the Giants picked up the fifth-year option on Engram's rookie contract, keeping him under team control through 2021.

    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.

    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: Engram logged a limited session Wednesday, but presumably needs to log a full workload at least one day if he intends to gain clearance to suit up for the first time since Week 9. It appears he's on the right track, but stay tuned for the official practice report.

  • Officially limited Wednesday

    Engram (foot) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Engram was listed as limited last week before being ruled out for a fourth consecutive game, the result of a mid-foot sprain. Consequently, he may have to elevate to full participation by week's end in order to gain clearance from the Giants' training staff.

  • Taking part in practice

    Engram (foot) was spotted on the field for Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: The Giants will release their first Week 15 practice report later Wednesday, which will reveal whether Engram was a limited or full participant in the session. Considering Engram has been sidelined for the past five weeks with the left foot injury, he'll likely need to put in a full workout by Friday to have a good chance of suiting up Sunday against the Dolphins.

  • Non-committal on 2019 return

    Engram (foot), who has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, expressed uncertainty about his ability to play again in 2019, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. "I'm going to try my best [to return] in the final three weeks [of the season]," Engram said.

    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. While Engram indicated that he didn't experience a setback, it's clear the foot injury isn't allowing him to move around at full speed just yet. With…read more

  • Ruled out for MNF

    Engram (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    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. Engram's top backup, Rhett Ellison (concussion), has also been ruled out for Week 14.

  • May not be healthy yet

    Engram (foot) was on the sideline during the portion of practice available to the media Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: This is certainly a troubling development after head coach Pat Shurmur suggested the tight end appeared poised to make his return from a Week 9 foot injury, although the Giants have not officially listed Engram's game-time status for Monday's contest. Fantasy owners should check in prior to the team's official injury report, which should come later Saturday afternoon.

  • Remains limited at practice

    Engram (foot) logged another limited practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Pat Shurmur expects the tight end to return for Monday's game in Philadelphia, where Engram will likely work with quarterback Eli Manning for the first time since Week 2. The Giants also expect to have Golden Tate (concussion) back in the lineup, while rookie signal-caller Daniel Jones (ankle) isn't likely to play.

  • On track to play Monday

    Coach Pat Shurmur said Friday that "all indications are [Engram] will be ready to go" for Monday's game against the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Engram hasn't played since injuring his foot in Week 9, but he was able to practice Thursday for the first time since suffering the injury, likely setting him up for a return to action in Philadelphia. The Giants will still practice twice more before revealing their final injury report for Week 14 on Saturday. While it's looking like Engram will be back this week, fantasy players may not have confirmation on his availability for certain until shortly before Monday's kickoff.

  • Puts in limited practice

    Engram (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Engram has missed the Giants' last three games with a strained left foot, but he expressed optimism earlier this week that he would put an end to his streak of absences Monday in Philadelphia. The tight end's ability to take some practice reps in the Giants' first session of Week 14 offers early encouragement that he'll be able to achieve his goal, though he may need to put in a full workout Friday or Saturday for the Giants to sign off on him playing. If Engram suits up Monday, he'll be…read more

  • Expects to play Monday

    Engram (foot) said that he expects to be available for Monday's game against the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Engram was present for the Giants' practice Wednesday, though his level of involvement won't be known until the team releases its first Week 14 injury report Thursday. If Engram's prediction comes to pass and he suits up versus the Eagles, he'll likely be catching passes from Eli Manning, as Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports that rookie starting quarterback Daniel Jones will likely be sidelined with a high-ankle sprain.

  • Out this week but still optimistic

    Despite being ruled out for at least one more week, Engram (foot) is optimistic he'll be ready to play sooner rather than later, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While he still hasn't returned to practice, Engram was able to do some cutting and running this 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. Kaden Smith served as the team's No. 1 tight end in a Week 12 loss to the Bears, playing 98 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest and catching five of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown.

  • Out for third straight game

    Engram (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Engram was spotted stretching before Friday's practice, but it isn't clear if he did anything more. Whatever the case, he'll miss a third consecutive game, and fellow tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) will join him on the sideline for a second straight week. Kaden Smith acted as Engram's primary replacement in the Week 12 loss to the Bears, logging a 98 percent snap share on offense and catching five of six targets for 17 yards and a touchdown.

    Engram (foot) took part in stretching drills before Friday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear if Engram did anything beyond stretching since the Giants closed the rest of the session to media, but it's at least noteworthy that he was present. The Giants will provide an official update on Engram's practice participation as well as his status for the Week 13 matchup with Green Bay when they release their final injury report later Friday.

  • Doesn't practice Thursday

    Engram (foot) didn't practice Thursday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: A mid-foot sprain has kept Engram in recovery since he picked up the injury Week 9. With no practice reps since that point, he seems to be trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday versus the Packers. Engram again may be joined in street clothes by Rhett Ellison (concussion), which would leave Kaden Smith and Scott Simonson as the Giants' available tight ends.

    Engram (foot) worked on the side with the Giants' training staff during Wednesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to Rhett Ellison (concussion), so for now, the Giants' lone healthy tight ends are Kaden Smith and Scott Simonson. Engram hasn't seen game action since suffering a mid-foot foot sprain in the Giants' Week 9 loss to the Cowboys.

  • Out again this week

    Engram (foot) will not play Sunday against the Bears, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: It was reported earlier this week that Engram had a chance to play Sunday, but he did not make the required progress in his recovery over the last two weeks and now will miss a second straight game. 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. Simonson is more blocker than pass catcher, though, so the targets Engram usually sees could be mainly distributed among the wide receiver corps.

  • Sidelined for another practice

    Engram (foot) won't participate in Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Giants haven't officially commented on Engram's status for Sunday's game against the Bears, but the tight end's back-to-back absences from practices coming off a Week 11 bye make it highly unlikely he'll be ready to play in Chicago, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Meanwhile, coach Pat Shurmur said that Rhett Ellison (concussion) is also unlikely to play Week 12, so the Giants will likely be forced to get by without both of their top two tight ends.

    Engram (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Coming out of a bye week, Engram suggested Monday that he would have a shot to return for Sunday's game in Chicago. His continued absence from practice suggests it isn't the most likely scenario, but he still has Thursday and Friday to get in some work before the game. Rhett Ellison (concussion) also was held out from Wednesday's practice, leaving Scott Simonson and Kaden Smith as the healthy tight ends.

    Engram (foot) said Monday that there's a possibility he'll be available to play next weekend against the Bears, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Coming off the Giants' Week 11 bye, Engram wasn't taking part in the team's practice session Monday, but he was at the team facility to receive treatment and do some running on an anti-gravity treadmill. Now that he no longer requires a walking boot for his injured left foot, Engram expressed hope that he'll be back on the field when the Giants return to action Sunday. Engram noted that the initial estimated recovery timeline he received for his injury was 2-to-4 weeks; he'll be at the midway…read more

  • Not practicing Monday

    Engram (foot) wasn't present for practice Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Engram has been dealing with a low-grade mid-foot sprain, and his inability to practice Monday -- following the Giants' bye week -- suggests that his status for Sunday's game against the Bears is iffy. On a more positive note, Engram was present at the Giants' facility for practice and was spotted without a walking boot on his left foot, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. The tight end's outlook for Week 12 could brighten if he's able to return to practice at some point Wednesday through Friday,…read more

  • Ruled out with foot injury

    Engram (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Engram said as much earlier this week, and the team made it official Friday. He referred to his injury as a low-grade mid-foot sprain, with an MRI showing that he avoided a Lisfranc injury. With the Giants on bye in Week 11, the tight end's next chance to play will be Week 12 against Chicago. The Giants typically use Rhett Ellison in a three-down role when Engram is out of the lineup.

    Engram (foot) said Wednesday that he won't suit up in the Giants' game this weekend against the Jets, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: The injury that coach Pat Shurmur described Tuesday as a sore foot quickly became more significant than the Giants initially let on, with Engram labeling his issue Wednesday as a "low-grade" mid-foot sprain, per Vacchiano. While Engram revealed that his MRI cleared him of a dreaded Lisfranc injury, the Giants are still waiting for a second opinion on the matter from foot specialist Dr. Robert Anderson before providing a timeline for the tight end's return.

  • Wearing walking boot

    Engram's injury is being classified as a mid-foot strain, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports. He was spotted wearing a walking boot Wednesday at the Giants' facility.

    Analysis: Engram suffered a foot injury during Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys that prevented him from participating on the Giants' final drive. Coach Pat Shurmur initially labeled Engram's injury as a sore foot, but the tight end's MRI revealed a more significant concern. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, Engram is receiving a second opinion on the MRI results from Dr. Robert Anderson, so the Giants will likely wait and see what the specialist has to say about the matter before commenting on Engram's status…read more

  • Gets second opinion on foot injury

    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. With Engram sitting out Wednesday's practice, there's reason to believe his injury might be more serious than the Giants initially seemed to let on. Expect Shurmur to provide another update on Engram's situation after practice concludes Wednesday.

    Analysis: Coach Pat Shurmur acknowledged that Engram missed the final series of the Giants' 37-18 loss to the Cowboys on Monday due to a sore foot, so the tight end looks like he'll be receiving some extra maintenance during the short week. The Giants should have a better idea regarding Engram's health heading into Sunday's game against the Jets after getting a chance to evaluate him at practices Thursday and Friday.

    Coach Pat Shurmur said that Engram is tending to a sore foot in the aftermath of Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: The injury prevented Engram from playing during the Giants' final offensive series, but the tight end still contributed six catches for 48 yards on eight targets and ran once for a two-yard gain before departing. Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Shurmur indicated the Giants will see how Engram looks in practice as the week unfolds before the 25-year-old's status for Sunday's game against the Jets in determined.

  • 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.
