Giants practice report: Evan Engram remains sidelined

The New York Giants returned to practice on Monday and just about everyone was a go other than TE Evan Engram (foot).

The New York Giants returned to practice on Monday ahead of the team’s Week 12 game against the Chicago Bears, and while there won’t be an official injury report until Wednesday, we were able to test the pulse on several injured players.

On the positive side of things, cornerback Janoris Jenkins (concussion), wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), right tackle Mike Remmers (back) and center Jon Halapio (hamstring) were all on the field and participating.

Additionally, tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was working on the sideline with a trainer while rookie offensive lineman George Asafo-Adjei, who is on injured reserve with a concussion, was spotted riding a stationary bike for the first time in months.

Unfortunately, not all was positive on the injury front as tight end Evan Engram (foot) remained sidelined and unable to practice despite coming off of the team’s bye week.

Finally, offensive lineman Nate Solder was not at practice. The team said he was excused for a personal matter and is expected to return this week.

The injuries continue to mount for the New York Giants as they placed three players in the concussion protocol after their loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.

Solder exited the game in the second quarter and was replaced by Eric Smith. Ellison was removed from the game in the third quarter and was spelled by rookie Kaden Smith. Jenkins left the game in the fourth quarter and Sam Beal took over for him.

These three are all in addition to wide receiver Sterling Shepard, who has been in the protocol for several weeks.

Head coach Pat Shurmur said running back Saquon Barkley was “fine” after going for x-rays after the game.

“I don’t know how you’re going to write it, but I saw him today and he said he was feeling a lot better,” said Shurmur.

When asked if the Giants were considering shutting Barkley down for the season Shurmur was firm.

“Absolutely not,” he said.
