Overview
- Through two games, Engram has 6 targets for 4 receptions and 33 yards and has been on roughly 38% of Denver’s offensive snaps.
- He left the opener with a calf injury, returned in Week 2 for two targets and one 12-yard catch, and said he feels good and will stay ready.
- Adam Trautman has led the tight end snaps at 58% in Week 1 and 62% in Week 2 and caught a 2-yard touchdown against the Colts, with Lucas Krull also rotating.
- Bo Nix said Indianapolis took away primary reads and that designed looks for Engram were defended, as Courtland Sutton was also quiet and Troy Franklin drew eight catches for 89 yards and a score.
- Signed in March on a two-year deal to be Sean Payton’s movable ‘Joker,’ Engram’s featured role has yet to materialize, even as he reached 500 career receptions late against the Colts.
