Overview

• Engram is expected to play in Sunday’s home opener against the Titans and will wear No. 1, the first NFL tight end to do so since before 1973.
• Calling Denver’s athletic training group “the best I’ve been around,” Engram credited the staff with comprehensive recovery, sleep and body-care support.
• The veteran tight end has missed games in five of eight NFL seasons, including seven last year with a hamstring injury and torn labrum.
• Coach Sean Payton points to games missed dropping from about 134 to the “30-something” range over the past two seasons since hiring player health chief Beau Lowery.
• Inside linebackers Dre Greenlaw and Alex Singleton are on track for Week 1, with Payton indicating Greenlaw could have reduced snaps early as he manages a quadriceps issue.
