Sadly, it looks like New York Giants tight end Evan Engram‘s season will be coming to a close. The third-year tight end has been nursing a foot sprain, an injury that’s sidelined him the past five games. On Tuesday, Big Blue decided to officially place him on injured reserve.
Engram hasn’t played since the Week 9 “Monday Night Football” loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He thus finishes his season with 44 catches, 467 yards, and three touchdowns through eight games.

With backup tight end Rhett Ellison having missed the last four games as well, the Giants have fielded Scott Simonson and rookie Kaden Smith.
