Engram's Week 2 Out: Jaguars TE Suffers Hamstring Injury
The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without their star tight end, Evan Engram, for Week 2's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Engram left the Week 1 game against the Indianapolis Colts in the second quarter after suffering a hamstring injury. While the team has yet to announce the severity of the injury, head coach Doug Pederson confirmed that Engram would be out for at least one week.
A Blow to the Jaguars' Offense
Engram's absence is a significant blow to the Jaguars' offense. He was a key contributor in their Week 1 victory, recording five receptions for 62 yards and one touchdown. His chemistry with quarterback Trevor Lawrence was evident, and he served as a reliable target in the middle of the field.
With Engram out, the Jaguars will need to rely on other players to step up. Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange will likely see increased playing time at tight end. The Jaguars may also look to utilize their wide receiver corps more extensively to compensate for the loss of their star tight end.
Looking Ahead
The Jaguars' offense will need to adapt quickly in Engram's absence. They face a tough challenge in the Kansas City Chiefs, who boast one of the best defenses in the NFL. While the team is confident in their ability to overcome this setback, it remains to be seen how they will perform without their key tight end.
Engram's return timeline is currently unknown, but the Jaguars will be hoping for a swift recovery. His presence will be crucial to the team's success as they look to build on their Week 1 win and establish themselves as a contender in the AFC South.
Here are some key takeaways:
- Evan Engram is expected to miss Week 2 due to a hamstring injury.
- His absence is a significant loss for the Jaguars' offense, as he was a key target for Trevor Lawrence.
- The Jaguars will look to Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange to fill the void at tight end.
- The team faces a tough challenge in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Engram's return timeline is unknown.
