GIANTS PLACE EVAN ENGRAM ON INJURED RESERVE, PROMOTE DAVID SILLS…
The New York Giants have placed tight end Evan Engram on Injured Reserve, effectively ending his season. Engram suffered a foot injury during the November 4th game against the Dallas Cowboys and has been out since that time. He also missed a game in October with a knee injury. Engram played in eight games in 2019 with six starts, catching 44 passes for 467 yards and three touchdowns.

The Giants drafted Engram in the 1st round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Other than too many dropped passes, Engram had a very solid rookie season for the Giants in 2017, playing in 15 games with 11 starts, and finishing with a team-high 64 catches for 722 yards and a team-high six touchdown receptions.

It was a tale of two seasons for Engram in 2018. Before the bye week, Engram missed three games with a knee injury and caught just 17 passes for 145 yards and two touchdowns. After the bye, Engram missed two games with a hamstring injury, but his productivity increased to 28 catches for 432 yards and one touchdown, with a number of game-changing plays.

To fill Engram’s roster spot, the Giants signed wide receiver David Sills from the team’s Practice Squad. The 6’3”, 211-pound Sills was originally signed as an undrafted rookie free agent by the Buffalo Bills after the 2019 NFL Draft. The Giants signed Sills to the Practice Squad in September 2019 after he was cut by Buffalo.

GIANTS SIGN OFFENSIVE TACKLE TO PRACTICE SQUAD…
The New York Giants have signed offensive tackle Nate Wozniak to the Practice Squad. The 25-year old, 6’10”, 280-pound Wozniak was originally signed by the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted rookie free agent after the 2018 NFL Draft. He has spent time with the Saints (2018-2019), Minnesota Vikings (2019), and Atlanta Falcons (2019). Wozniak has not played in an NFL regular-season game.
