Team news: Denver Broncos | Page 1

After suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener, tight end Evan Engram may be back on the field for the Jaguars when they play the Bears in London on Sunday.

Head coach Doug Pederson provided a positive update on Engram during his Monday news conference, saying he was close to playing in Week 5.

“He got himself into practice a little bit,” Pederson said. “I would anticipate him doing more this week and seeing where he’s at at the end of the week. But I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good.”

Engram had one 5-yard catch in the season-opening loss to Miami before he had to exit the contest. He was a limited participant in practice all three days last week, the story pointed out.

Jaguars TE Evan Engram is “not tracking” to play Sunday against the Colts.

Engram continues to recover from the hamstring injury he suffered during pre-game warmup in Week 2. It will be another start for Brenton Strange, who has under 20 years in two of his three games started.

The Saints waived WR A.T. Perry, per source.

This is quite the surprise after he was pegged as the WR3 heading into the season, but he has seen absolutely no playing time through the first month of the season. If anyone is still holding him on deep Dynasty squads, it's time to cut bait.

Broncos running back Tyler Badie is back in Denver after suffering a back injury in Sunday’s win over the Jets and head coach Sean Payton offered a limited update on Badie’s status on Monday.

“We’re still evaluating him now. He’s doing better,” Payton said, via Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. “Everyone that’s reached out, we appreciate the concerns. Fortunately, he was able to come back before the day ended.”

Badie was taken off the field on a cart while strapped on a backboard and he flew home on a commercial flight after being evaluated at a local hospital. The exact nature of the injury isn’t known, but Badie has movement in all his limbs and Payton said his condition has improved, the story went on to say.

Doug Pederson is doubtful Evan Engram (hamstring) will play vs Texans

Strange has actually looked pretty good in the Engram role, and can be considered a streaming option after compiling 12 targets over the last two games.

Vikings are not listing Justin Jefferson on this week’s injury report for Sundays game vs. the Texans, but Minnesota has ruled out WR Jordan Addison.

Addison's season has gone from bad to worse, with off-the-field issues still sitting in the background. Nailor makes for an interesting desperation Flex play against Houston this week, while Jefferson needs to be started everywhere.

Jaguars injury updates: Darnell Savage (quad) will be worked back into practice this week, hopeful to play for MNF.

Evan Engram (hamstring) a bit further away, will be assessed day-to-day, per Doug Pederson.

If one is "hopeful" and the other is "further away" we might be able to surmise that Engram won't be suiting up for Week 3. Strange had a nice showing in Week 2, taking his six targets for a 3-65-0 stat line. He should only be considered in very deep leagues.

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson participated in today’s walk through, despite his quad injury. It looks as if he is on track to play Sunday vs. the Texans.

You love to see it. Fire JJ up everywhere.

The Jaguars said TE Evan Engram is week to week with a hamstring injury.

Normally week to week can possibly indicate some missed time ahead, but HC Doug Pederson said he's optimistic Engram could play in Week 3. Unfortunately for owners, the Jags are one of two Monday night games in Week 3, so owners will likely need a backup plan and to monitor Engram's status this week. Strange was targeted six times in the loss and caught three passes for 65 yards. Based on that, he could make for a decent replacement option if owners are in a pinch.

Broncos are placing rookie RB Audric Estime on injured reserve due to an ankle injury; Estime now will miss a minimum of four weeks.

Just a few short weeks ago, this backfield looked like a mess, but now it's down to Williams and McLaughlin, which makes it much more palatable. Estime can safely be dropped anywhere he may have been stashed away.
