The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced that starting tight end Evan Engram is out against the Cleveland Browns for today’s Week 2 matchup.
After being projected to start for the Jaguars this week, Evan Engram was announced as out late this morning. Engram aggravated his hamstring during his pregame warmup routine and was not comfortable enough to participate in today’s game. There are no details as to what Engram was doing when the injury occurred. The extent of his injury is also unclear and we will most likely find out more after this afternoon’s contest. Luke Farrell will look to replace Engram.
In week 1, Engram did not perform his best but still saw four targets from his QB and caught one pass for five yards. This is a tough loss for the Jaguars as Trevor Lawrence lost a much-needed blocker and one of his favorite targets.
This is a break for the Browns defense who will now look to focus more on wide receivers Christian Kirk, Gabe Davis, and Brian Thomas Jr.
