The Jaguars anticipate Evan Engram returning to action against the Bears on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, following the tight end’s four-game absence due to a hamstring injury suffered in the hours before kickoff in Week 2, per Jacksonville head coach Doug Pederson.
“[Engram has] been trending good,” Pederson said after the Jaguars’ Saturday practice at The Grove, outside of London. “He had a good week of practice so I would lean towards him playing in this game.”
Engram was listed as a limited participant in practice daily this week and last.
Engram caught one pass over four targets for five yards in Jacksonville’s season-opener against Miami, an uncharacteristic showing for the star right end after he led the Jaguars with 114 receptions in 2023, the second-most in a single season in franchise history.
Over two seasons and one game with the Jaguars, Engram has tallied 188 receptions for 1,734 yards and eight touchdowns. He has hauled in 450 passes for 4,562 yards and 24 touchdowns in his career.
Jacksonville vs. Chicago will kick off at 9:30 a.m. ET/2:30 p.m. BST on Sunday.
