The Jacksonville Jaguars are experiencing a difficult season due to a number of injuries. Some of the notable stars that have come out include Evan Engram, Tank Bigsby, Cam Robinson, and others. The team is currently in turmoil, as they face a crucial game against the Buffalo Bills on Monday. The team’s head coach recently discussed the game and indicated which players will be returning to the field.
Doug Pederson, the HC, has announced that some players are good to go while some will rest. RB Tank Bigsby, who sustained a shoulder injury, and LT Cam Robinson, who had a knee injury, will return to the field on Monday. Unfortunately, Evan Engram, the team’s outstanding performer, will not be able to return due to a hamstring injury. The TE will require more time to recover, but he is expected to return around week 4. At that point, the Jaguars will be playing against the Texans.
Jaguars TE Evan Engram is unlikely to play Monday vs. Bills with a hamstring injury, per HC Doug Pederson.
RB Tank Bigsby (shoulder) & LT Cam Robinson (knee) will play. DB Darnell Savage (quad) is still TBD.

Oh, boy! This is difficult to say. However, when you consider the scenario, this question is valid. So far, the Jaguars have had a horrible season. The team has lost both of its games this season, and in week three, they will face a team with whom they are almost neck and neck in all-time records. The Bills will have been in top form, crushing the previous two teams they faced. This definitely indicates that Evan Engram’s absence will have a significant impact on the entire game.
When it comes to all-time records, the Bills have always won at home versus the Jaguars since 2012 (except in 2023, when they lost 25-20). This means they have an excellent opportunity to demonstrate their superiority once more. The Jaguars would need a solid strategy to counter a team in form like the Bills.
