With Evan Engram continuing to miss games with the New York Giants, the offense isn’t able to establish a rhythm that can succeed long-term. Backup/blocking tight end Rhett Ellison also missed the week 13 loss to the Packers with a concussion, but Engram’s inability to stay on the field has been more impactful.
In his absence, the Giants elevated Kaden Smith to the active roster. The rookie had a solid first game in the NFL against the Chicago Bears last week, recording a touchdown. This week, he backed up his promising start with a six-catch, 70-yard performance in the blistering cold.
