Broncos Clear Evan Engram for Week 2 as Payton Eyes Mismatch Role

The tight end practiced fully late in the week following a calf scare in the opener.

Overview

  • Denver removed Engram from its final injury report after consecutive full practices, clearing him for Sunday at Indianapolis.
  • Engram left the Week 1 win over the Titans with a calf injury late in the third quarter and did not return after being ruled questionable.
  • Sean Payton said Engram is a matchup the Broncos want to exploit, aligning with plans to use him as a movable “joker” in the offense.
  • Engram logged 26 snaps in his Broncos debut and finished with three catches for 21 yards, leaving room for an expanded role in Week 2 though snap share remains uncertain.
  • A two-time Pro Bowler who signed a two-year, $23 million deal this offseason, Engram’s lengthy injury history remains a consideration despite his quick clearance.
