New York Giants tight end Evan Engram expects to miss Sunday's game against the New York Jets with what the team is calling a "mid-foot sprain," according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan.

While Engram is reportedly awaiting a second opinion on his MRI results from specialist Dr. Robert Anderson, his foot injury apparently isn't as serious as initially feared.

The tight end said he "dodged a bullet" as it's not a Lisfranc injury, which would've sidelined him for an extended period of time.

The Giants have their bye next week before a game against the Chicago Bears.

"Timing works out," Engram said. "So rest this week and obviously get a lot of rest next week."

With Engram likely out, veteran Rhett Ellison will take over the starting role.
