Evan Engram is caught between frustration and relief.
On one hand, the Giants tight end now has another season marred by multiple injuries. He is unlikely to play Sunday against the Jets because of what is being called a low-grade mid-foot sprain.
On the other, Engram says he escaped the grimmest outlook. A Lisfranc injury is what sidelined Panthers quarterback Cam Newton in September, landed him on regular-season-ending IR and can lead to surgery and months of rehab, neither of which is expected for Engram.
“That was the worry, that there was a real severe injury there,” Engram said.
