Schefter: Engram Injured, Out vs Browns
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram has been ruled out of the Week 5 game against the Cleveland Browns with a knee injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The injury occurred during the Giants' Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears, where Engram had a strong performance, catching 6 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown.
Impact on the Giants Offense
Engram's absence is a significant loss for the Giants' offense. He has been a key target for quarterback Daniel Jones, and his ability to create yards after the catch has been crucial for the Giants' passing attack.
With Engram out, the Giants will likely turn to their other tight ends, Kaden Smith and Chris Myarick. Smith has shown flashes of potential but lacks the experience of Engram, while Myarick is a blocking tight end primarily.
The Giants will also need to rely more heavily on their wide receivers, Sterling Shepard, Kenny Golladay, and Darius Slayton, to step up in Engram's absence.
Engram's Injury History
This is not the first time that Engram has dealt with a knee injury. He has a history of injuries, which has limited his availability throughout his career.
Engram's injury history is a concern for the Giants, as it raises questions about his durability and his ability to stay healthy for an entire season.
Outlook for the Giants
The Giants will need to find ways to overcome Engram's absence if they want to remain competitive in the Week 5 matchup against the Browns. The Browns have a strong defense, and the Giants will need to be creative in their offensive scheme to find success.
The Giants' offensive line has been struggling, and the loss of Engram will put even more pressure on Daniel Jones to make plays.
It remains to be seen how long Engram will be out for, but his absence is a major blow to the Giants' offense.
