Engram learned this week that his season is over after being placed on IR with a chronic foot injury that will now require surgery. The third-year tight end was poised to have a breakout season, but various injuries derailed that plan.
Engram played in only eight games this season, catching 44 passes for 467 yards with three touchdowns. Engram’s fifth-year option is due next spring and the Giants are expected to exercise it, but his future with the team has been clouded after two consecutive seasons have been ruined by injury.
The surgery Engram will under go is to address a “mid-foot sprain” he suffered in Week 10. That is now being diagnosed as a Lisfranc-type injury which has affected ligaments and he is expected to be out of action until next summer.
