As things stand, Evan Engram is listed as questionable on the Broncos' injury report. The tight end is dealing with a back injury and has an unspecified status for the Week 3 game against the Chargers.

Engram did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Although the Broncos will have another practice session on Friday, fantasy football fans should avoid drafting the TE for Week 3.

Engram had been dealing with a calf injury last week, but he played in Jacksonville's Week 2 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Some believe that the TE injured his back during the clash against the Colts.

Engram recorded 21 yards on four receptions in the Jaguars' 20-12 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 1. He had 12 yards on one reception against Indy in Week 2.

However, the chances of Engram playing in Week 3 against the Chargers are slim. Nonetheless, those who still want to draft Engram should keep tabs on whether he practices on Friday and monitor his final status before the game.

The New York Giants drafted Engram with the No. 23 pick in 2017. He played five years with them before signing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he spent three seasons.

Here are the key details for the Broncos vs. Chargers Week 3 game:

• Date: Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET
• TV channel: CBS
• Live stream: Paramount+ and Fubo
• Venue: SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California

The Chargers opened their 2025 season with an important win over the Kansas City Chiefs. LA then took down the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
