Star Jaguars tight end Evan Engram, who has been nursing a hamstring injury since the hours before kickoff in Week 2, returned to practice for the first time since Sept. 13 on Wednesday, per Juston Lewis of the Florida Times-Union.
Fellow Times-Union reporter Demetrius Harvey shared a video of Engram catching a pass from Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the media viewing window of practice. Engram had a sleeve over his right leg but was not wearing a no-contact jersey.

Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson called Engram “day-to-day” on Monday and Wednesday, suggesting the tight end will practice in a limited manner to begin the work and go from there.
“Yeah, Evan’s day-to-day,” Pederson said before practice Wednesday. “He’ll get out and he’ll do some of our individual stuff today. Then we’ll see as each day progresses, see how he feels.”
Engram caught one pass for five yards in Jacksonville’s season-opener against Miami. He has logged 188 receptions for 1,734 yards and eight touchdowns in 35 games with the Jaguars.
