Engram had been in the concussion protocol over the last couple of weeks since suffering the injury during the Giants' third preseason game against the New York Jets. He had been out of the swing of things in practice over this past week as he pushed through the process. This should put him on pace to be able to take the field for the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars if he is able to practice over the next couple of days.

The 24-year-old took advantage of the increased opportunity to be a primary receiving target last year with the slew injuries at wide receivers as he recorded 64 catches for 722 receiving yards and six touchdowns. What was most telling about his production is that he can be a huge, reliable receiving option that adds another major weapon alongside wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard as well as rookie running back Saquon Barkley. He will have plenty of opportunities to be a critical factor in the red zone and key situations.

The only issue that arose this past year was that he had a difficult time holding onto the ball making a league-worst 11 dropped passes. If he can improve this area of his skill set, there could be many more highly productive campaigns ahead of him in his NFL career as a crucial part of the Giants' passing game.
