The Jacksonville Jaguars got off to a rough start to the 2024 NFL regular season, with Trevor Lawrence and company dropping the first four games of the year and making most believe this team might be trending downward.
Doug Pederson’s squad lost consecutive games to the Miami Dolphins, Cleveland Browns, Buffalo Bills, and Houston Texans, but they were finally able to win their first game in Week 5, taking down the Indianapolis Colts at EverBank Stadium in Jacksonville.
With the team finally heading back in the right direction after an epic divisional battle with the Colts that came down to the wire, Jacksonville has something to build on moving forward.
Along with securing their first win of the season, against a divisional opponent no less, the Jaguars got some good news on Monday with veteran tight end Evan Engram likely to return to the field for Jacksonville when they travel to London, England, for Sunday’s game against Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson believes TE Evan Engram, who has not played since Week 1 due to a hamstring injury, is likely to return for Sunday’s game in London vs. the Bears. “I think the chances of him getting back in here this week are pretty good,” Pederson said.

With Lawrence coming off one of his best performances of the season, where he threw for 371 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception, the veteran quarterback will be happy that one of his favorite targets could be back on the field for Week 6 overseas.
Although the Jaguars aren’t a team that anyone seems to be taking seriously at this point, all it takes is for things to start clicking again in order to get back on track as a potential playoff team in the AFC.
