The Giants did not put Evan Engram on the physically unable to perform list, a good sign he is fully or nearly fully recovered. He is taking part in the limited work allowed on the field and on Wednesday is expected to join his teammates for Phase 2 activities, which allow players to wear helmets and “approved protective shirts’’ for practice.

Engram said he feels great but wouldn't go into detail as far as what he'll be able to do in practice. Engram just needs to stay on the field and he'll be among the TE1 options most, if not every week. He played a career-low eight games last year and missed 14 of 48 games in three years with the Giants.

Evan Engram will not be placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) List heading into training camp, according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post.

After playing only eight games in 2019, Engram appears to be completely healed from knee and foot ailments including a Lisfranc tear. The oft-injured tight end is just 26 and remains an interesting, high-upside option in fantasy.

What Evan Engram cannot do, at least thus far, is stay healthy. He played in 11 games in 2018 and only eight last season, forced out with ligament damage in his foot that required surgery.

No one wants to talk much about what happens next with Sterling Shepard. He sustained two concussions last season that forced him out of six games. He dealt with a migraine issue earlier in his career. These are cumulative health concerns, and if Shepard continues to encounter head and concussion issues he will not make it through the length of his contract.

Despite the injury issues with both players, the talent is there. As a rookie in 2017, Engram had 11 receptions of 20 or more yards. In 2018, he averaged 8.7 yards after the catch per reception. That was second among all tight ends, behind only George Kittle. Shepard isn't a number-one WR, but he's a locker room asset and a nice compliment on the field. Having both healthy will be great news for Jones this year.

Giants TE Evan Engram will undergo foot surgery Friday morning.

Engram’s injury was not a full Lisfranc injury, but this surgery will help improve long-term stability, notes Stapleton. Engram hasn’t played since November 4 against the Cowboys and was placed on injured reserve on Tuesday. He finished with 44 catches for 467 yards and three touchdowns.

The Giants placed TE Evan Engram on IR. Engram, the third-year tight end, missed the previous five games with a foot injury. He at one point seemed close to returning to the field, but the injury didn’t sufficiently improve, and the Giants decided he would not be well enough to return to the field this season.

The Giants entered training camp excited about their collection of offensive ballhandlers that included Saquon Barkley, Sterling Shepard, Golden Tate and Engram. With Engram on IR, it guaranteed that the team will not play one game this year with all four of them on the field at the same time, the story said.

Giants TE Evan Engram is now not expected to play Sunday against the Dolphins with a foot injury.

Engram has been limited in practice, but Stapleton notes the foot hasn’t been coming along as he and team had wanted. At this point, Engram isn’t a reliable option anymore this deep in the season. It’s likely almost at the point where the Giants might just placed Engram on injured reserve.
