The Giants will be without Evan Engram for a while, but the star tight end is expected to return this season from a sprained medial collateral ligament in his right knee. Engram suffered the injury when tackled after his only catch in Sunday’s win over the Texans. An MRI on Monday confirmed the diagnosis.
“We’ll just have to see how it progresses,” Pat Shurmur said Monday. Such injuries typically require four to six weeks of healing. That could project to the possibility of Engram's return after the Giants’ bye in Week 9.
Engram said Sunday evening that his knee “didn’t feel right” after taking the hit.
