Engram Out For Jags: Hamstring Injury Before Game
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram will miss Sunday's game against the Houston Texans due to a hamstring injury.
The injury occurred during practice on Wednesday, and Engram was ruled out on Friday. The Jaguars are hopeful that the injury is not serious, but Engram is expected to be sidelined for at least one week.
Engram's absence is a significant loss for the Jaguars. The 28-year-old tight end has been a key part of their offense, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. He has quickly become a favorite target of quarterback Trevor Lawrence, forming a strong connection on the field.
The Jaguars will likely rely on backup tight end Luke Farrell to fill Engram's role. Farrell has played well in limited opportunities this season and will be tasked with stepping up in Engram's absence.
This injury also raises questions about Engram's availability for the upcoming weeks. The Jaguars have a tough schedule ahead, with games against the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tennessee Titans. They will need Engram back healthy to compete in these critical matchups.
The Jaguars will be hoping for a quick recovery for Engram. His presence is crucial for their offensive success, and his health will be a key factor in their quest for a playoff berth.
Here are some other things to consider:
- The severity of Engram's injury. If the injury is minor, he could be back sooner than expected. However, if it is more serious, he could miss several weeks.
- The performance of Luke Farrell. Farrell has the potential to fill in for Engram, but he will need to step up his game.
- The Jaguars' offensive strategy. Without Engram, the Jaguars may need to adjust their offensive game plan. They could become more reliant on the running game, or they could look to other players to step up in the passing game.
The Engram injury is a setback for the Jaguars, but it is not necessarily a fatal one. They have the talent to overcome his absence, but they will need to find a way to do so without their star tight end.
