Engram (foot) wasn't present for practice Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Engram has been dealing with a low-grade mid-foot sprain, and his inability to practice Monday -- following the Giants' bye week -- suggests that his status for Sunday's game against the Bears is iffy. On a more positive note, Engram was present at the Giants' facility for practice and was spotted without a walking boot on his left foot, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. The tight end's outlook for Week 12 could brighten if he's able to return to practice at some point Wednesday through Friday, but it's not guaranteed he'll be able to participate in any fashion during those sessions. Next up on the team's depth chart is Rhett Ellison, but he's currently bouncing back from a concussion. Rookie Kaden Smith, a sixth-round pick of the 49ers who's considered primarily a blocker, led the Giants in snaps at the position Week 10.
