Engram Exits With Hamstring Injury, Jags Update
Jacksonville, FL - The Jacksonville Jaguars suffered a blow to their offense in their Week 2 matchup against the New England Patriots. Tight end Evan Engram exited the game in the first half with a hamstring injury and did not return.
Here's what we know:
- The severity of Engram's injury is unknown. The Jaguars have not yet released an official update on his status, but head coach Doug Pederson indicated that Engram will undergo further evaluation.
- Engram was having a strong start to the season. He caught 4 passes for 58 yards, including a 34-yard reception, before leaving the game. His absence is a significant loss for the Jaguars, who rely heavily on their tight end in the passing game.
- The Jaguars will likely rely on other tight ends and receivers. With Engram out, the Jaguars will have to rely on other players to step up. Look for Luke Farrell and Dan Arnold to see increased playing time.
- Engram's injury could impact the Jaguars' offensive plans. The Jaguars will need to adjust their offensive game plan, potentially calling on more run plays and utilizing their wide receivers more heavily.
The Jaguars have a bye in Week 3, which could give Engram some time to heal. However, it remains to be seen if he'll be able to recover in time for their Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
