Why the Giants might be better off without Evan Engram against Denver

For the second consecutive practice, the New York Giants tight end Evan Engram working on the side with trainers. After suffering a calf injury against the New England Patriots in the final preseason game of the season, Engram has been working his way back slowly, rehabilitating and hoping for a potential Week 1 appearance. However, the likelihood that Engram plays against Denver is quickly becoming improbable.

In his absence, TE’s Kaden Smith and Kyle Rudolph are expected to take a much bigger role, and this might be the perfect opportunity for them to utilize their qualities against a strong Denver defense.
