The Broncos got a key player back on the practice field as they start preparations for Monday Night Football.
Tight end Evan Engram returned to practice and took part in regular work during the portion of Thursday’s practice open to reporters. Engram, 31, missed Sunday’s 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers with a back injury that cropped up during Denver’s Week 2 game at Indianapolis.
Engram’s official practice status wasn’t immediately known, but the team’s injury report will be out Thursday afternoon.
Engram’s return, if he’s able to play Monday night against Cincinnati, would be an important one for a Broncos offense that is the NFL’s worst in early down efficiency through three games.
