New York Giants: Evan Engram injury update, Giants could pass on his fifth-year option

Error 0:

The New York Giants have struggled to find a consistent tight end that doesn’t succumb to injury every season. Both Evan Engram and Rhett Ellison failed to stay on the football field in 2019, forcing the Giants to resort to rookie, Kaden Smith, who emerged as a fantastic option in the passing game down the stretch.

The emergence of Smith gives the Giants a bit of hope at the position, especially with Engram undergoing surgery three months ago and still using a walking boot to support his foot. Engram has missed nearly an entire season of play over the past two seasons.
