Giants' Engram likely out vs. Jets with foot injury

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram expects to miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets with what the team is calling a "mid-foot sprain," according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

While Engram is reportedly awaiting a second opinion on his MRI results from specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, his foot injury apparently isn't as serious as initially feared.

The tight end said he "dodged a bullet" as it's not a Lisfranc injury, which would've sidelined him for an extended period of time.

The Giants have their bye next week before a game against the Chicago Bears.

"Timing works out," Engram said. "So rest this week and obviously get a lot of rest next week."

With Engram likely out, veteran Rhett Ellison will take over the starting role.
