Tight end Evan Engram thought he’d be getting news this week that he’d been named to his first Pro Bowl. Instead, he’s facing surgery on his ailing foot after bring placed on IR by the Giants this week.
Engram has high hopes of a breakout season in 2019 but injuries cut that dream short. He played in only eight games, reeling in 44 receptions for 467 yards and three touchdowns. A foot injury sustained in Week 10, which was originally diagnosed as mid-foot sprain has not healed and is not being classified as a Lisfranc-type injury with ligament damage that will require surgery and will sideline Engram until next summer.
