Okay, so, today I wanna talk about something that’s been on my mind lately – Evan Engram’s injury. Man, it’s a bummer, right?
So, I was just scrolling through my social media feeds the other day, minding my own business, when I saw the news: Evan Engram, the Jaguars’ tight end, is out for the season. I was like, “No way, that can’t be right!” I mean, this guy has been with the team for the last three seasons. He’s a key player!
I immediately started digging around for more info. Turns out, it’s a labrum injury. Ouch. Those things are nasty. I remember tearing my labrum back in college playing basketball, and let me tell you, it was no joke. It took forever to heal, and even now, years later, it still gives me trouble sometimes.
From what I gathered, this happened pretty recently, like on December 13th, 2024, or around there. The news really started picking up steam after that. I saw a bunch of articles and posts about it. One report mentioned that he’d played in nine of the team’s 13 games this season. That means he was grinding it out, playing hard, right up until he couldn’t anymore.
Then I came across a tweet from Adam Schefter – you know, the ESPN guy. He confirmed it: Engram is going to need surgery, and it’s season-ending. Man, that’s rough. Not just for him, but for the whole team. They’ve already got Trevor Lawrence, Christian Kirk, and Gabe Davis on injured reserve. Losing Engram is a huge blow.
I kept reading, trying to understand the situation better. Apparently, the Jaguars’ head coach, Doug Pederson, made the announcement. It sounds like it was a tough decision, but they had to do what’s best for Engram’s long-term health.
Honestly, this whole thing got me thinking about how fragile an athlete’s career can be. One minute you’re on top of the world, playing the game you love, and the next, you’re sidelined with a serious injury. It’s a reminder that these guys put their bodies on the line every single game.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts on this. It’s a tough situation for Evan Engram and the Jaguars. I’m sending positive vibes their way and hoping for a speedy recovery.
