Engram (knee) may be a few weeks away from playing in a game, but he's already progressed to straight-line running, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Engram at least did some light side work, which amounts to minor progress in his recovery from an MCL sprain. He still doesn't seem to have much shot at playing in Sunday's game against Carolina and Week 6 will also be tough with the Giants hosting the Eagles in the Thursday night game. Rhett Ellison will fill in as the top tight end for the duration of Engram's absence.
