Jaguars' Engram Out for Season with Shoulder Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram will miss the rest of the season due to a torn labrum in his shoulder, confirmed by head coach Doug Pederson. Engram, who previously missed games this season due to a hamstring injury, was expected to play against the New York Jets, but further MRI results necessitated surgery. His absence adds to the Jaguars' injury woes, with key players like quarterback Trevor Lawrence and receivers Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis also sidelined. Engram has 47 receptions for 365 yards this season, a decline from his record-setting performance in 2023. The Jaguars will rely on second-year tight end Brenton Strange to fill the gap left by Engram. Engram's future with the team is uncertain, given his high base salary next season and potential contract renegotiations.
