Broncos Place Dre Greenlaw on Short-Term IR, Rule Out Evan Engram for Week 3 vs. Chargers

The IR move sidelines Greenlaw at least four weeks, shifting snaps to Justin Strnad for the Chargers game.

Overview

  • Greenlaw was moved to short-term injured reserve with a lingering quad injury, making Week 7 at the Giants his earliest possible return.
  • Engram will miss Sunday with a back injury that coach Sean Payton said surfaced during last week’s game against the Colts.
  • Through two games, Engram has four receptions for 33 yards after signing a two-year deal to boost Denver’s tight end production.
  • Strnad fully practiced Friday and is cleared to play, stepping in alongside Alex Singleton at inside linebacker.
  • Denver is expected to elevate a practice-squad linebacker for depth, while Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins and Lucas Krull handle tight end duties.
