The New York Giants have placed tight end Evan Engram on season-ending injured reserve as the result of a foot injury that caused him to miss the previous five games.
Two weeks ago, ahead of a Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers, Engram appeared poised to return to the field, but missed a late practice and has remained sidelined since.
Although the Giants claim Engram did not suffer a setback, they clearly do not feel comfortable risking him at any point over the final two weeks.
With Engram now being shut down for the year, it ensures that the tight end, running back Saquon Barkley, and wide receivers Golden Tate and Sterling Shepard will not take a single offensive snap as a full unit in 2020.
Engram finishes the season with 44 receptions for 467 yards and three touchdowns.
With an open spot on their 53-man roster, the Giants promoted wide receiver David Sills from their practice squad and signed offensive tackle Nate Wozniak to replace Sills on the practice squad.
