Just two touches in loss
Shepard brought in one of three targets for seven yards and rushed once for three yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: Shepard was in on 44 snaps (72 percent) and couldn't do much with them, despite Mike Evans (hamstring) remaining out and Jalen McMillan active but not playing any snaps, potentially due to his own hamstring issue. The veteran appears unable to serve as anything more than a tertiary option at this later stage of his career, as Shepard has just a 16-166-1 receiving line and 7-55-0 rushing tally over eight games.

Good to go
Shepard (hamstring/hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Shepard practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but he apparently showed enough to avoid an injury designation and is now set to work as Tampa's main slot receiver for another week. Fellow Bucs WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) also returned to practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

No practice Thursday
Shepard (hamstring/hip) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: With Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sitting at least one more game and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Shepard not practicing yet this week, the Buccaneers' receiving corps is particularly compromised at the moment. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Shepard has a chance to suit up Sunday versus the 49ers.

Dealing with pair of injuries
Shepard was held out of Wednesday's practice due to hamstring and hip injuries.
Analysis: The Buccaneers' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined for at least one more game and both Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) logging absences to begin Week 10 prep. Shepard has drawn five targets in both of Tampa Bay's last two games, accruing a 7-66-0 receiving line between those contests.

Six touches in OT loss
Shepard brought in four of five targets for 48 yards and rushed twice for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
Analysis: The veteran wideout was thrust into a key role with Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) all out, and Shepard finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the Buccaneers. Shepard's catch total also was a season high, while his yardage tally was his second highest of the campaign. With a short week before Sunday's Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers, Shepard will be ticketed for another expanded role even if McMillan suits up,…read more

Active in Week 9
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as active Monday in Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard was contained to one limited practice (Saturday) during Week 9 prep due to a hamstring issue, but it won't stop him from being available to an otherwise banged-up receiving corps. Tampa Bay will be without all of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) in Week 9, meaning Shepard should be targeted early and often by QB Baker Mayfield, assuming he isn't inhibited himself. Along with Shepard, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez…read more

Questionable for Week 9
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Kansas City.
Analysis: After sitting out practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring concern, Shepard was able to return on a limited basis Saturday, giving himself a chance to be available for Week 9 action. Fellow WR Jalen McMillan showed up on the Buccaneers' injury report Saturday as limited due to a hamstring issue, so Monday's list of inactives will be key as to who may contribute in the passing game in the wake of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) being sidelined.

Present for Saturday's practice
Shepard (hamstring) was present for practice Saturday,Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Shepard logged absences from practice Thursday and Friday, but his presence at Saturday's session offers hope that the wideout will be available Monday night against the Chiefs. Unless he's deemed a full participant Saturday, however, Shepard will presumably carry an injury designation ahead of Week 9 action.

Misses another practice
Shepard (hamstring) isn't participating in Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Analysis: Shepard will have another opportunity Saturday to potentially get in some practice reps before the Buccaneers determine whether he carries a designation into Monday's game at Kansas City. With Chris Godwin (ankle) on injured reserve and with Mike Evans (hamstring) already ruled out for the Week 9 contest, the Buccaneers' depleted receiver room would take another hit if Shepard is also sidelined against the Chiefs.

Tending to hamstring issue
Shepard was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Shepard has been a regular in the Buccaneers offense since Week 4, accumulating a 11-111-1 line on 17 targets and four carries for 31 yards over the last five contests. With Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) in the midst of a likely three-game absence, Shepard was expected to take on an even larger role, but this new health concern may put a wrench in those plans. In the end, Shepard's activity level, or lack thereof, Friday and Saturday may provide insight into…read more

Three grabs in loss
Shepard secured three of five targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Shepard's production didn't see a boost despite the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and the fact he logged a robust 45 snaps (62 percent). The veteran wideout does have plenty of familiarity with Baker Mayfield from their college days and has shown some flashes this season, but his production will remain hard to trust in a tough Week 9 road matchup against the defending champion Chiefs next Monday night.

Checks back into Sunday's game

Exits with hamstring injury
Shepard is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons due to a hamstring injury.
Analysis: Shepard had been targeted three times and caught two passes for 13 yards before leaving the contest late in the second quarter to have his hamstring injury evaluated. The Buccaneers are likely to have an update on Shepard's condition coming out of halftime.

In line for bigger role
Shepard is expected to see an expanded role in the Buccaneers' passing attack beginning with Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Falcons due to the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle), Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran landed in Tampa Bay thanks in large part to his college playing experience with Baker Mayfield, and although Shepard opened the regular season on the practice squad, he's already been a steady complementary option over the last four games. Shepard has cobbled together an 8-93-1 line on 12 targets and rushed four times for 31 yards over that span, and the veteran, who's likely to see plenty of slot work thanks to his experience in that role, will now help mentor young wideouts such…read more

One catch in loss
Shepard caught his lone target for 15 yards in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Shepard was not much of a factor Monday, as his one target was a season low through five games with Tampa Bay. The veteran wideout played 37 of the Buccaneer's 82 offensive snaps and was mostly an afterthought in the passing game. His usage could drastically change going forward, as Chris Godwin (ankle) is likely done for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) is set to miss at least three weeks. Shepard is a candidate to take on a lot of the target share from quarterback Baker Mayfield, with…read more

Seven touches as No. 3 receiver
Shepard brought in three of four targets for 23 yards and rushed four times for 31 yards in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran wideout remained in the No. 3 wideout role despite the return of Jalen McMillan from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. While Shepard's production wasn't anything to write home about fantasy-wise, it's notable the veteran logged a 75 percent snap share (58 snaps), his largest workload yet. However, Shepard could see his participation rate take a hit to a degree in a Week 7 home matchup against the Ravens next Monday night with McMillan potentially returning to a larger…read more

Scores TD in Week 5 loss
Shepard brought in one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Analysis: Shepard commemorated his signing to the active roster earlier in the week by getting into the end zone for the first time since Week 10 of last season, while with the Giants. The veteran had logged five targets and turned them into a 3-51 line four days earlier against the Eagles as well, but once Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Trey Palmer (concussion) are healthy again, it's difficult to see Shepard retaining any appreciable, reliable fantasy value.

Earns active roster spot
Shepard was signed to the Buccaneers' active roster from their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Shepard was elevated to Tampa Bay's active roster ahead of their Week 3 win and ended up playing 47 snaps on offense and catching three of five targets for 51 yards. His addition to the 53-man roster comes as the team's wide receiver corps has been decimated by injuries, with Mike Evans (knee), Jalen McMillan (hamstring), Trey Palmer (concussion) and Kameron Johnson (ankle) all tending to something ahead of Thursday's divisional matchup with the Falcons.

Returns to practice squad
Shepard reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Shepard was afforded a large workload in his second appearance of the season Sunday against the Eagles with Jalen McMillan (hamstring) inactive and Trey Palmer suffering a concussion in the contest. On his 50 (of 77) offensive snaps, Shepard hauled in three of five targets for 51 yards, which mostly was fueled by a 30-yard catch. With all of Mike Evans (knee/calf), McMillan and Palmer estimated as non-participants and Kameron Johnson (ankle) listed as limited on Monday's injury report, Shepard…read more

Tampa Bay elevated Shepard from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Analysis: After spending the first eight years of his NFL career with the Giants, Shepard signed with the Buccaneers in June. While he wasn't able to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp, the 2016 second-round pick opted to stick around in Tampa Bay on the practice squad.

Sticking on practice squad
Shepard is in line to sign with the Buccaneers' practice squad, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Shepard was released as part of Tampa Bay's final roster cuts Monday. The 31-year-old will now stick with the team on the practice squad, where he should serve as one of the top options to move up to the active roster if the Buccaneers are in need of extra receiver depth at some point this regular season. Shepard appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Giants in 2023, catching 10 passes for 57 yards and one touchdown.

Unlikely to play Friday
Shepard (undisclosed) is not likely to suit up for the Buccaneers' preseason finale against the Dolphins on Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: An unspecified injury has kept Shepard from playing in either of the Bucs' first two preseason games, and it appears he will also sit out for the preseason finale Friday. Despite missing an extended amount of time, the 2016 second-round pick is expected to make Tampa Bay's 53-man roster as a backup wide receiver behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan. Shepard signed a one-year deal with the Bucs in June after spending the first eight years of his NFL career with the Giants.

Dealing with undisclosed injury
Shepard, who did not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bengals, is dealing with an unspecified injury and didn't practice Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Smith notes the wideout actually began missing practice time in the days leading up to the game versus Cincinnati. Shepard, who was a college teammate of Baker Mayfield, was brought in to offer veteran depth, although he may realistically serve as no more than a No. 5 receiver given the promising play of both rookie Jalen McMillan and second-year wideout Trey Palmer.

Ends season with whimper
Shepard hauled in three of five targets for 18 yards and carried once for six yards in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Eagles. Shepard ended the regular season with 10 catches on 22 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown over 15 games. He added a six-yard rush and a 10-yard punt return.
Analysis: After playing in just 10 contests over the previous two campaigns due to an Achilles tear and a torn ACL, Shepard was able to stay healthy in 2023. However, he was relegated to a role near the back of New York's receiver depth chart and played fewer than one-third of the team's offensive snaps in all but one of his 15 appearances. In a testament to his limited role on offense, his modest numbers in Week 18 represented one of his better stat lines of the season, as Shepard finished the campaign…read more

Active, but fails to play Monday
Shepard was active for Monday's 24-22 win over the Packers but didn't play any snaps on offense or special teams.
Analysis: Even with fellow slot receiver Parris Campbell (knee) missing the Week 14 contest, Shepard wasn't part of the Giants' wideout rotation. The Giants' decision to keep Shepard on the bench the entire night was somewhat surprising, considering the 30-year-old had drawn 10 targets over the team's last three games before a Week 13 bye. If Campbell is back in action for this Sunday's game against the Saints, Shepard could be a healthy inactive for the contest.

Full participant at practice
Shepard (hip) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Shepard's full participation comes one day after logging a limited workload. Barring any setbacks, he looks on track to suit up in Sunday's matchup with the Patriots. The pass catcher has seen more playing time in recent weeks, but he is still seen as the third or fourth option at best in New York's receiving rotation.

Dealing with hip injury
Shepard was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard received a little more playing time the past two weeks after barely playing for two months, but he's still not getting many targets and is at best the third or fourth option in a five- or six-man rotation at wide receiver. An absence for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots could mean more snaps for Wan'Dale Robinson, Parris Campbell, Jalin Hyatt and Isaiah Hodgins, especially if Darius Slayton (arm) is out as well.

Gets garbage-time score in loss
Shepard caught one of four targets for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Shepard was shut out in the receiving department until he caught a two-yard touchdown toss from Tommy DeVito on a fade toward the corner of the end zone with six seconds remaining in the contest. The catch was just Shepard's fifth of the campaign, as he's played a very minimal role in the Giants offense this season. Shepard did see a season-high four targets Sunday, though they all came on New York's final drive of the contest when the outcome had long been decided. With that context, there's…read more

Limited to just one snap Sunday
Shepard wasn't targeted while taking the field for just one of the Giants' 77 snaps on offense in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Head coach Brian Daboll talked of potentially expanding Shepard's role ahead of Week 5 action, and while the wideout ended up receiving a season-high 18 snaps in the Giants' loss to the Dolphins that week, his playing time trended back down again Week 6. Now sitting at 1-5 on the season heading into this Sunday's game against the Commanders, the Giants are quickly slipping from the playoff picture and may not have motivation to open up playing time for the 30-year-old Shepard at the expense of…read more

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Shepard is likely to receive more playing time Sunday against the Dolphins, Art Stapleton of The Record Sports reports.
Analysis: Shepard has yet to play more than 20 percent of New York's offensive snaps in any of his four appearances this season. Daboll said Wednesday that the team had more packages featuring Shepard in its playbook for Monday's 24-3 loss to Seattle, but the Giants weren't able to get those play calls due to the flow of the game.

Targeted just once Week 2
Shepard caught his only target for four yards in a Week 2 win against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: For the second straight week, Shepard received just one target, though he at least came up with a catch against the Cardinals after being shut out in the season opener. The veteran wideout has been on the field for less than 20 percent of New York's offensive snaps thus far, suggesting that he's near the bottom of the team's wide-receiver pecking order. Shepard is coming off back-to-back campaigns severely shortened by injury, so it's possible his lack of involvement early is at least partly…read more

Sees first action since return
Shepard caught his only target for six yards in Friday's preseason win over the Panthers.
Analysis: In his first game action since tearing his ACL in Week 3 last year, Shepard was on the other end of a Tyrod Taylor toss right before halftime as the Giants ran a brief two-minute drill. Despite his return to full health, the veteran slot receiver faces a lot more competition for snaps and targets than he did to begin the 2022 campaign, and Shepard could find himself buried on the depth chart and potentially even off the game-day roster for a Week 1 tilt against the Cowboys.

Analysis: Shepard will join the Giants for his first practice since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in a Sept. 26 loss to the Cowboys and later undergoing surgery. The wideout has been limited to just 10 regular-season appearances over the past two years, after a torn Achilles' tendon previously spelled an early end to his 2021 campaign. Due in no small part to his poor track record on the health front, Shepard settled for a one-year, $1.32 million contract with the Giants this offseason and may be…read more

Can't quite avoid PUP
Shepard (knee) is on the active/PUP list to start training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports that Shepard has looked good this summer and may not stay on the PUP list for long. The 30-year-old has been the Giants' primary slot receiver whenever healthy for the past half-decade, but he's always struggled with injuries and now finds himself coming back from major surgery (ACL tear) for a second straight year -- this time in an offense that also has Parris Campbell and Wan'Dale Robinson (ACL) as slot options.

Continues to progress
Shepard, who tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2022 season, noted Tuesday that he is "right on schedule" physically, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The 30-year-old added that his "goal is to be ready for the season." Once Shepard is fully up to speed, he'll have a chance to compete for slot snaps in a Giants wide receiver corps that also includes Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton, Parris Campbell, Jalin Hyatt and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee). After suiting up for just 10 games over the past two campaigns, Shepard has much to prove health and role-wise before he'll merit fantasy consideration.

Analysis: It's only non-contact work at OTAs but at least shows that Shepard is on schedule in his rehab from October surgery on an ACL tear. He signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March and may end up on the roster bubble this summer, but they'll first give the 30-year-old a chance to get healthy and compete for slot snaps.

Officially re-signs with Giants
Shepard (knee) re-signed with the Giants on a one-year contract Thursday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: This move was expected, but now pen has officially been put to paper. Shepard is recovering from an ACL tear sustained in Week 3 of the 2022 season. Injuries have limited his availability in recent years, but Shepard has been fairly productive when on the field, having topped 600 yards four times since the Giants selected him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

ACL surgery went well
Shepard (knee) said Tuesday that his left ACL operation was a success, and he was rehabbing the following day, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Shepard tore his ACL in Week 3 and underwent surgery at the end of October. He was placed on IR and ruled out for the 2022 campaign, marking back-to-back seasons ended by devastating injuries. The wideout has already turned his focus toward rehabbing for the 2023 campaign, but given his injury history, he could find it difficult to find employment as a free agent in the offseason.

Will undergo surgery Tuesday
Shepard will undergo surgery on his left ACL on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The wideout was placed on IR at the end of September after suffering an ACL tear late in the team's Week 3 loss to Dallas. Shepard rehabbed for over a month before undergoing surgery, which is similar to what teammate Saquon Barkley did, per Stapleton. Shepard has suffered devastating injuries in back-to-back seasons and has missed at least five games in all but two of his first seven NFL campaigns.

No additional torn ligaments
Shepard (knee) said Wednesday that he didn't suffer any other ligament tears in addition to the torn ACL he sustained Sept. 26 against the Giants, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Shepard is likely to undergo surgery in one or two weeks, and his recovery timetable will be made somewhat more manageable with the news that he's avoided additional ligament damage. Per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Shepard expressed confidence that he has another injury comeback in him, after already having already worked his way back from a torn Achilles to make himself available for Week 1. The longest-tenured Giants player will focus his efforts on recovering from the knee injury…read more

Moved to IR
Shepard (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Shepard made a full recovery from the Achilles tear he suffered last December and was the most reliable target for quarterback Daniel Jones early this season, but the veteran suffered an ACL tear late in the Giants' Week 3 loss to Dallas. He'll now spend the rest of the season and perhaps a small portion of next season recovery from knee surgery. Shepard is set to turn 30 years old in February and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Tears ACL, done for season
Shepard suffered a torn ACL in his left knee in the Giants' Week 3 loss to the Cowboys and will miss the remainder of the season, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Just as the Giants had feared, Shepard fell victim to another significant lower-body injury in Monday's contest, after he had made a full recovery from the torn left Achilles' tendon he sustained last December to make it back for Week 1. The wideout will likely undergo surgery in the coming days, and even if he avoids any snags during the recovery process, his poor track record on the health front could make it difficult for the 29-year-old to earn meaningful guaranteed money on the open market…read more

Season may be over
Shepard is scheduled to undergo additional tests Tuesday on the left knee injury he suffered in Monday's 23-16 loss to the Cowboys, and the Giants fear that the receiver's season could be over, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Initial tests on Shepard's knee weren't conclusive, but the 29-year-old looks like he could be headed for another long-term absence after he was limited to just seven games in 2021 due to a hamstring injury, a left quadriceps injury and a torn Achilles' tendon. He made it back from Achilles surgery to suit up Week 1 this year, only to go down with a non-contact knee injury in the final minutes of Monday's loss. Through the first three weeks, Shepard had been the top receiver in a banged-up…read more

Carted off after non-contact injury
Shepard was carted off late in Monday's game against the Cowboys after suffering an apparent left knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Shepard was injured on New York's last offensive play of the game. He got hurt without any contact and immediately clutched his leg in pain. The context around Shepard's injury suggests this could be another serious injury for the wide receiver, though New York will run additional tests to determine its nature and extent.

Garners 10 targets
Shepard caught 6 of 10 targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Shepard led the Giants in receptions and targets. Despite his involvement, though, Shepard didn't manage to accumulate much yardage. Still, with teammate Kenny Golladay hardly seeing the field Sunday as his role continues to decrease, Shepard could profile as New York's top wideout heading into Week 3's game versus Dallas.

Finds end zone in Week 1
Shepard caught two of four targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-20 win over the Titans.
Analysis: With the Giants down 13-6 in the third quarter, Shepard got free deep and hauled in a 65-yard TD pass from Daniel Jones. That was enough to lead the Giants in receiving, as no other New York player reached 60 yards. Shepard hasn't stayed healthy enough to reach 100 targets in a season since 2018, but he saw more volume in Week 1 than Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney combined, and the veteran could prove to be the team's most reliable option at wideout in 2022.

Ready for Week 1
Shepard (Achilles) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest at Tennessee, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite suffering a torn Achilles against the Cowboys on Dec. 19, Shepard has made a quick recovery in time for the 2022 season opener. He was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, so his reps could be capped Sunday. Still, Shepard's presence means the Giants will have their top four wide receivers available this weekend (also, Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney and Wan'Dale Robinson).

To be game-time call
Coach Brian Daboll said Friday that he wants Shepard (Achilles) to be a game-time decision for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Titans, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: It remains to be seen whether Shepard will be limited in Friday's practice, but it sounds like the veteran wideout's status will come down to the wire in any event. Considering that he's less than nine full months removed from a left Achilles tear, there's no guarantee that Shepard handles a complete assortment of offensive snaps Week 1, even if he does suit up.

Shepard (Achilles) was listed as a limited participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants didn't hold a traditional practice Thursday, so Shepard will be listed as limited for the second day in a row after his reps were capped during Wednesday's session. Shepard will look to upgrade to full activity Friday, which would bode well for his chances of being cleared to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Titans.

Analysis: Shepard tore his Achilles in a game against Dallas on Dec. 19 last year, but he's been working his way back and was activated from the PUP list near the end of training camp. The veteran receiver didn't play in any preseason games, yet Raanan reports that he "did not appear to be limited at all" during practice Tuesday.

Shepard may or may not be back Week 1, but the Giants apparently think he can be ready at some point in September.

Shepard (Achilles) has a chance to be activated from the PUP list before Week 1, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: If he isn't activated before Week 1, the veteran slot receiver will be ineligible for the Giants' first four games. Activation therefore would imply that the team expects him to be ready at some point in September, if not for the regular-season opener.

Analysis: Shepard remains on the PUP list as he works his way back from a torn left Achilles suffered Week 15 last season, but beginning on-field rehab work is a notable step in the right direction. The Giants figure to continue easing Shepard back toward a full practice load with caution, as the team has Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney (leg) and rookie second-rounder Wan'Dale Robinson handle three-receiver sets in the meantime.

Analysis: Shepard had a lengthy history of lower-body injuries even before he tore his Achilles in Week 15 last season. He started jogging again toward the end of May and isn't ready to practice at the beginning of training camp.

With that in mind, Shepard mentioned to Anderson that there's no pressure when it comes to his exact return date and that he's been limited to taking mental reps and catching balls from the jugs machine while working at the Giants' facility this offseason.

Analysis: Shepard will remain with the Giants for a seventh consecutive year while likely taking a pay cut after sustaining a season-ending Achilles' injury in mid-December during the 2021 campaign. The wideout's recovery process is going smoothly so far, and there's optimism that he could be cleared to return by early summer.

Analysis: Shepard's move to season-ending injured reserve was fully expected after he was diagnosed with a torn left Achilles following his exit from Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys. Given the nature of his injury, he likely will require surgery and miss the Giants' entire spring program, and his availability for the beginning of the 2022 season could be in question as well.

The veteran wide receiver caught two of four targets for 27 yards in last week's loss to the Chargers, playing 81 percent of snaps on offense in his first game back from a five-week absence caused by a quad injury.

Modest showing
Shepard caught two passes for 27 yards on four targets against the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Shepard couldn't get much going in his first game since Week 8, but it's probably less a reflection of Shepard's play and more a credit to the Chargers pass defense. That Mike Glennon was in at quarterback instead of Daniel Jones (neck) didn't help matters, either. Shepard should be in a good spot to build on these numbers when he faces Dallas in Week 15, especially if Jones can return by then.

Shepard (quadriceps) was a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
Analysis: Since straining his left quadriceps Nov. 1 at Kansas City, Shepard hasn't practiced and fortunately has missed only two games due to the Giants' bye landing in Week 10. There was a positive development Wednesday when he joined his position mates on the side prior to practice, but he's yet to mix into any drills. Both Shepard and Kadarius Toney (quadriceps) have logged DNPs this week, so Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton are the healthiest of the team's top four wide receivers at the moment.

Analysis: While he officially didn't log any on-field activity Wednesday, Shepard was spotted working with the wide receivers on the side, per Rosenblatt. The development may indicate Shepard is closing in on a return to practice, and he'll have two more opportunities to do so before week's end. Kadarius Toney (quadriceps) also didn't practice to kick off Week 12 prep, so the Giants' receiving corps remains compromised on the health front.

Not practicing
Shepard (quadriceps) wasn't present Tuesday for the Giants' informal practice session, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The Giants are on bye Week 10, but the team is holding a light practice Tuesday for both rehabbing players and less-established members of the roster. Shepard's absence doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that he sat out two days earlier in the Giants' win over the Raiders after having not practiced in the week leading up to the contest. The Giants likely won't have a better sense of his availability for their next game Nov. 22 in Tampa Bay until next week.

Won't play Week 9
Shepard (quadriceps) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Shepard wasn't able to practice in any fashion this week after straining his left quad in Monday's loss to the Chiefs, so he'll be be inactive for a fourth time this season during the Week 9 contest. Among the six receivers currently on the 53-man roster, only Kadarius Toney, Darius Slayton and Collin Johnson will enter the weekend without designations, as Kenny Golladay (knee) and John Ross (quadriceps) are listed as questionable. With a bye on tap Week 10, Shepard will hope to return to the…read more

Goes down as DNP on practice report
Shepard (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Salomone, Shepard was in attendance for the session and worked out with the team's training staff, but he apparently wasn't able to mix into any team drills. The Giants will wait and see what Shepard is able to do at the team's final practice of the week Friday before assessing his chances of playing Sunday against the Raiders, but at this stage, the wideout looks to be trending toward being inactive for a fourth time this season.

Not practicing Wednesday
Shepard (quadriceps) was held out of practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The same can be said for Kenny Golladay (knee), while Kadarius Toney (thumb) was a limited participant. The top of the Giants' receiving corps has been hindered by injuries for most of the season, while Saquon Barkley has been sidelined since Week 5 due to a sprained ankle. Shepard has been heavily utilized when available, averaging 8.6 targets in his five outings this season en route to a 32-324-1 receiving line. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity over the next two days to make his…read more

Likely to miss time due to injury
The Giants are preparing for Shepard to miss time after he suffered a left quadriceps strain in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Chiefs, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Shepard had suited up in only two of the Giants' previous five games while battling a hamstring injury, and he looks set to miss at least Sunday's game against the Raiders in Week 9 while he contends with another lower-body injury. Fortunately for Shepard, the Giants are on bye Week 10, so the wideout presumably will be turning his focus to getting healthy in advance of a Nov. 22 matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 11. Assuming the Giants officially rule Shepard out for the Week 9 contest, the…read more

Ruled out of Monday's game
Shepard won't return to Monday's game at Kansas City due to a quadriceps injury, per Lisa Salters of ESPN.
Analysis: On the Giants' final drive of the first half, Shepard went down with a non-contract injury and stayed on the turf for a bit before making his way to the sideline, according to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Shepard was favoring his left leg and attempted to stretch it out, but the team won't take any chances with the wide receiver after halftime. He's no stranger to lower-body injuries this season, having dealt with issues with both of his hamstrings and missing three games as a…read more

Suiting up Monday
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as active for Monday's game at Kansas City, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard has only played in one of the Giants' last four games due to hamstring injuries, but both he and Kadarius Toney (ankle) ran routes for Daniel Jones during pregame warmups, per Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record, and will be available to the offense Week 8. With both Kenny Golladay (knee) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) sidelined again, Shepard likely will be the top skill-position player for Jones, which has amounted to nine targets per game in his four appearances this season.

Questionable, expected to play
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's contest against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants ruled out both Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Kenny Golladay (knee), but it sounds as if the banged-up offense will at least have Shepard and Kadarius Toney (ankle), who also elicited a questionable designation. Shepard has played in just one game over the last four contests, but against a sieve-like Chiefs defense, Shepard should be primed for a solid outing so long as he's active.

Limited again Friday
Shepard (hamstring) remained limited in practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard has battled hamstring injuries for much of the season, having already missed three games due to them. He'll have an extra day to recover ahead of the Giants' Week 8 trip to Kansas City, but the Monday start time is a double-edged sword for Shepard's fantasy managers, as replacement options will be limited if he ultimately sits. Shepard has practiced in a limited fashion so far this week and is likely to be labeled questionable when the Giants release their final injury report Saturday.

Practicing Thursday
Shepard (hamstring) was present for Thursday's practice, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: Thursday's injury report will reveal Shepard's participation level, but that fact that he's practicing is a positive indicator with regard to the wideout's chances of returning to action Monday night against Kansas City. Shepard was a game-time decision for this past Sunday's win over the Panthers and ultimately was made inactive for the contest, but at this stage he appears to be trending in the right direction ahead of Week 8 action.

Warming up before practice
Shepard (hamstring) was in uniform and going through stretches before Wednesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The Giants won't release their first Week 8 injury report until Thursday, but all of Shepard, Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are at least moving in the right direction, with each of the three -- plus running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) -- suited up for stretches Wednesday. New York faces the Chiefs on Monday, and it won't come as any surprise if multiple players end up being game-time decisions for the final contest of the week.

Sidelined Sunday
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard's status for Week 7 came down to a pregame workout, which apparently didn't yield the desired result. He'll thus miss his third game of the season, along with fellow inactives Saquon Barkley (ankle), Kenny Golladay (knee) and rookie first-round pick Kadarius Toney (ankle). The Giants' receiving corps Sunday will be composed of WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring), Dante Pettis, John Ross (hamstring), Collin Johnson and David Sills, along with TEs Evan Engram (calf) and Kyle Rudolph.

Status hinges on pregame warmup
Shepard (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, will go through pregame tests before the Giants determine whether he'll be available to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: As expected, the Giants are viewing Shepard as a game-day decision after he was added to the injury report Thursday due to the hamstring issue that sidelined him Weeks 4 and 5. So long as he fares well in the workout, Shepard should avoid the inactive list, but it's unclear how effective he might be playing through the injury. Even if less than 100 percent, Shepard's presence would be a welcome one for a Giants pass-catching group that's expected to be missing Saquon Barkley (ankle), Kenny…read more

Looks like game-time call
Giants head coach Joe Judge implied Shepard (hamstring) will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. "We'll kind of move him around and see where he's at," Judge said Friday. "Some things that kind of accumulated throughout the course of a season. We'll see where he's at going into the game."
Analysis: After returning from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury to play 92 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Rams, Shepard was added back to the practice report Thursday when the same injury cropped up again. He finished the week with a pair of limited practices to take a questionable designation into Sunday, but Shepard's status looks like it could come down to a gameday workout.

Shepard (hamstring) secured 10 of 14 targets for 76 yards in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Making his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Shepard wasn't eased back into action by any means. The Giants could ill afford to do so, considering Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) were unavailable and Kadarius Toney exited the game after reinjuring his ankle.

Cleared for return
Shepard (hamstring) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: He returns to a tricky matchup after missing two games, as the Rams often use top cornerback Jalen Ramsey in the slot. Shepard never quite made it back to full practice participation, but he said Wednesday that he was ready to play, and he should see his share of targets with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) both sidelined. Kadarius Toney (ankle) is listed as questionable but expected to play, while Darius Slayton (hamstring) appears closer to truly questionable.

Additionally, Darius Slayton (hamstring) has a shot to return, and Kadarius Toney (ankle) appears likely to play, too, whereas Kenny Golladay (knee) will likely miss at least one game.

Fellow wideouts Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney responded with their best games of the season in an overtime win over the Saints, with John Ross adding a 51-yard touchdown as the No. 3 receiver (four targets, 44 percent snap share).

The 28-year-old followed up the 7-113-1 Week 1 line with a bump in receptions.

Analysis: He caught Daniel Jones' only TD pass on the afternoon, a 37-yard score in the second quarter that gave the Giants their only lead of the game. Shepard led the team in catches and targets, but a deep receiving corps that includes Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton and 2021 first-round pick Kadarius Toney likely won't let him dominate Jones' attention too often.

Shepard caught three of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-7 loss to the Cardinals.
Analysis: Shepard came up four receiving yards shy of Golden Tate's team-leading total, as quarterback Daniel Jones' return from a hamstring injury didn't do much to spark New York's struggling passing attack. After getting into a rhythm with five consecutive games of six-plus catches, Shepard has caught only four passes over his last two combined.

Analysis: Among Giants pass-catchers, Shepard was out-targeted by only Evan Engram, though he failed to turn that into any substantial production with Colt McCoy under center. His most meaningful contribution came on a successful two-point conversion, when he beat Shaquill Griffin to a pass in the corner of the end zone. While McCoy did not hesitate to look Shepard's way, Shepard may struggle to post numbers so long as Daniel Jones (hamstring) remains sidelined.

Shepard was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to toe and shoulder injuries, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard has been a regular on Giants injury reports this season and even spent a four-week stretch on injured reserve. Since he returned to action Week 7, he's tallied at least six catches in five consecutive games on his way to a 33-283-1 line on 40 targets. Assuming he gets past his current health concerns, Shepard will look to exploit Seattle's 32nd-ranked pass defense Sunday.

Catches seven of eight targets
Shepard caught seven of eight targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Shepard led the team in receptions while finishing second in receiving yards and third in targets. His long gain went for just 16 yards as he finished under 10.0 yards per reception for the fifth straight game. Nevertheless, Shepard is averaging eight targets per game over that span and continues to see his fair share of looks. Despite an inviting matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday, Shepard's fantasy value could be hindered if Daniel Jones (hamstring) is forced to miss the game due to…read more

Cleared to face Cincinnati
Shepard (hip/toe) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard had the same routine prior to his Week 11 bye, listed as a limited participant in every practice Weeks 8-10. He didn't have an injury designation for any of those games, and he averaged 6.7 catches for 53.3 yards on 8.0 targets while playing at least 70 percent of offensive snaps each week. Shepard hasn't done much in terms of big plays or touchdowns the past couple years, but he always seems to see plenty of short passes.

Puts in limited practice
Shepard (hip/toe) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite having his practice reps capped in both sessions this week, Shepard is slated to play through his hip and toe issues in Sunday's game at Cincinnati. The best indication that'll come to fruition is for Shepard to avoid a designation on Friday's injury report.

Limited, but should play
Shepard (hip/toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he's expected to suit up Sunday against the Bengals, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Prior to the Giants' Week 11 bye, Shepard appeared on the Giants' injury report with the same two issues, but neither prevented him from playing in a Week 10 win over the Eagles. The 27-year-old wideout has put together four straight games with at least six catches while serving as Daniel Jones' preferred check-down option.

Records six receptions
Shepard recorded six receptions on six targets for 47 yards in Week 10 against the Eagles.
Analysis: Shepard served as Daniel Jones' checkdown option throughout the early portions of the game, though he did keep the chains moving by converting two first downs. His most explosive play of the contest came on the Giants' first offensive possession in the second half when he made a leaping 27-yard reception down the left sideline. Though Shepard hasn't posted flashy stat lines since returning from a toe injury in Week 7 against the Eagles, he now has at least six receptions in all four contests.…read more

Cleared for Sunday
Shepard (toe/hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official website reports.
Analysis: Shepard was a limited practice participant throughout the week but never appeared in serious danger of missing Sunday's game. He caught six of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles three weeks ago, kicking off a three-game stretch with eight or more targets and six or more catches in every game. Shepard got more work from the slot last week with Golden Tate being a healthy scratch, and the Giants now have Tate listed as questionable with a knee injury.

Remains limited Thursday
Shepard (toe/hip) was limited at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Per usual, Shepard is logging an LP on the injury report, as he's done each of the previous three weeks. His production hasn't dipped in the slightest -- a 20-172-1 line on 26 targets across three games -- and he again could benefit from an absence from Golden Tate, who sustained a knee injury near the end of Thursday's session. Friday's injury report may provide more clarity on the state of the Giants' receiving corps.

Listed as limited
Shepard was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walk-through practice with toe and hip injuries, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The Giants have listed Shepard as a limited participant in every practice since he came off injured reserve prior to a Week 7 loss to Philadelphia. He's seen at least 70 percent of snaps and eight targets in three straight games, averaging 6.7 catches for 57.3 yards during that stretch. There's no indication Shepard is in danger of missing a rematch with the Eagles on Sunday.

Team high in catches during win
Shepard secured six of his eight targets for 39 receiving yards during Sunday's 23-20 win against Washington. He also recorded an 18-yard rush.
Analysis: Shepard has proven to be a high-floor option since returning from a toe injury that kept him on IR for four weeks, collecting six-plus receptions in each of his three most recent outings. The 27-year-old wideout has also averaged 57.3 receiving yards per game with one touchdown since his Week 7 return, after posting a reduced 38 yards per contest and being held scoreless over his first two appearances of 2020. In the Giants' upcoming matchup, Shepard will face the same Philadelphia defense that…read more

Cleared for Sunday
Shepard (shoulder/toe) will play in Sunday's game at Washington, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Shepard was a limited practice participant Wednesday through Friday, after handling 10 targets and 70 percent snap share in Monday's 25-23 loss to the Bucs. He should be geared up for his typical role this weekend, but he'll be facing a Washington defense that's limited opposing wide receivers to 132.7 receiving yards per game, third-fewest in the league.

Limited again Thursday
Shepard (shoulder/toe) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard has logged back-to-back capped sessions, likely for maintenance reasons due to the lingering effects of a turf toe injury and shoulder issue. Despite the health concerns, he's put up 14 receptions (on 18 targets) for 133 yards and one touchdown over the last two games. Friday's injury report likely will bring some clarity to Shepard's availability for Sunday's game in Washington.

Limited in practice Wednesday
Shepard (shoulder/toe) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out Weeks 3 through 6 due to a turf toe injury, Shepard has played back-to-back games while dealing with a shoulder issue. His production hasn't dipped at all -- 14 catches (on 18 targets) for 133 yards and one touchdown over the last two contests -- so he may be going through the motions before getting cleared by the Giants to suit up Week 9 in Washington. In any case, Shepard's status bears watching as the weekend approaches.

Leads team in receiving
Shepard caught eight of 10 targets for 74 yards in Monday night's 25-23 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Shepard overcame a couple injury concerns during the week to lead the Giants in all major receiving categories. In the process, the veteran also put together his best totals in four appearances this season. When healthy, Shepard represents a needed security blanket for second-year quarterback Daniel Jones, as he's now hauled in 22 of 28 passes thrown his way. The duo will look to build on Monday's performance in a Week 9 matchup against Washington.

Good to go
Shepard (shoulder) is absent from the Giants' injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Shepard recorded six receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles last week following a four-game absence. However, he picked up a shoulder and toe injury in the process. Still, it looks like the team is confident in his ability to play through the issues, so look for him to take on his usual role assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Chance to play
Shepard (shoulder/toe) "has a chance to play" Monday, according to Joe Judge, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledgerreports.
Analysis: After being limited in practice all week due to both a shoulder and toe injury, Joe Judge says Shepard has a chance to play. Shepard returned after a four-game absence against the Eagles last week and was fairly effective (six catches, 59 yards and a touchdown), but his injury history is worrisome. Be on the lookout for further updates regarding the receiver's availability.

Shepard (shoulder/toe) was a limited practice participant Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Shepard returned from a four-game absence for last Thursday's loss to Philadelphia, hauling in six of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown. His ability to log limited practices Thursday and Friday suggests he's on track to play in Monday's game against Tampa Bay, but the wide receiver does have a rather worrisome injury history, beyond even the recent issues.

Limited Thursday
Shepard (shoulder/toe) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: In his return to action last Thursday at Philadelphia from a four-game absence, Shepard reeled off six catches (on eight targets) for 59 yards and one touchdown. Considering he's listed with toe and shoulder issues, he seems to be dealing with lingering effects from his turf toe injury and likely banged up his shoulder as well. However, Shepard was on the field Thursday, which bodes well for his ability to gut out the health concerns ahead of Monday's game against the Buccaneers.

Finds end zone in return
Shepard (toe) secured six of eight targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 22-21 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.
Analysis: Making his return from a four-game absence due to a toe injury, Shepard ended up tying Evan Engram for the team lead in receptions while pacing the club in receiving yards. The 27-year-old wideout also came up with what appeared at the time to possibly be a game-clinching score when he recorded a two-yard TD grab with 6:17 remaining. Shepard now has a solid 18 targets over the three games he's suited up for this season, even more impressive when considering he only logged 15 snaps in Week 2…read more

Clearly, the activity was enough for the Giants to give Shepard the all-clear to play for the first time since Week 2.

Analysis: Shepard sustained a turf toe injury Week 2 and has spent the ensuing four weeks on IR. The Giants opened his window to return Tuesday, and after participating in practice the last two days, the team has opted to bring him back to the active roster.

Plans to try and play Thursday
Shepard (toe) remains on injured reserve, but he expects to be activated ahead of Thursday's game against the Eagles if he responds well to a workout earlier in the day, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The Giants have until 4 p.m. ET to make roster moves prior to the Week 7 matchup, so if Shepard isn't activated before then, he can safely be ruled out for the contest. Despite having only resumed practicing with the Giants since Tuesday, Shepard apparently is optimistic with how he's bounced back from his bout with turf toe, which sidelined him for the team's past four games.

Analysis: Because he's still on injured reserve, Shepard isn't listed on the the Giants' injury report this week and doesn't have a designation for Thursday. For practical purposes, it's best to consider him questionable, after the Giants decided Tuesday to designate him for return from IR.

Analysis: Shepard has worked on the side in recent practices as he makes his way back from a turf toe injury, but his ability to take part in drills Tuesday indicates he's closing in on a return to action. The Giants have a short turnaround before suiting up again Thursday at Philadelphia, so they may be gauging Shepard's ability to contribute for the first time since Week 2.

Analysis: Raanan explains that Shepard likely will need to return for Tuesday's practice to have a chance to suit up Thursday, and according to Paul Schwartz of the New York Post, his availability could depend on how his toe responds to a pregame warmup.

By designating Shepard to return after the Week 7 contest, the Giants would have a longer timeframe to evaluate the 27-year-old, who has missed the last three games while dealing with turf toe.

Analysis: Shepard will have an MRI on Monday to officially determine the nature of his injury. Turf toe injuries can carry a variety of recovery timeframes depending on severity, with a Grade 2 issue usually ranging from several days up to a few weeks.

In contrast, second-year wideout Darius Slayton again emerged as New York's top deep threat, catching six of nine targets for 102 yards and two scores.

Analysis: Each of the three is a viable candidate to lead the team in targets, and the same can probably be said of tight end Evan Engram or even running back Saquon Barkley. Health has arguably become the biggest problem for Shepard, who has played 53 of a possible 64 games in his NFL career but does come with a worrisome history of migraines and concussions.

Par for the course
Shepard caught 57 of 83 targets in 10 games this season, more or less living up to his draft-day billing on a per-game basis.
Analysis: The per-play output was somewhat disappointing, though -- only 6.9 YPT, down from 8.1 a year ago, and 10.1 yards per catch, despite playing with the more downfield oriented Daniel Jones. Moreover, Shepard's two concussions put him at greater risk to miss time in 2020 should he take another big hit. He should reprise his role as one of the team's top receivers next season, but Golden Tate and Darius Slayton will also get looks along with Kaden Smith, Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley.

Scores in impactful performance
Shepard caught all six of his targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-35 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: Shepard displayed excellent chemistry with the returning Daniel Jones as he snared every ball that was thrown his way. He didn't make many big plays on the day, but his 23-yard touchdown in the first quarter was enough to propel him to a solid fantasy performance. Shepard, who has come alive over the last two weeks with 15 catches for 187 yards and a score, will look to finish strong next Sunday against the Eagles.

Catches four passes
Shepard caught four of seven targets for 28 yards in Monday night's 23-17 overtime loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Shepard trailed only Darius Slayton in all major receiving categories, but his production was a far cry from the rookie's 5-154-2 line. With Eli Manning at quarterback, Shepard represents the most familiar face in New York's passing offense, which figures to benefit him as long as Daniel Jones (ankle) remains sidelined. Although that situation didn't bear much fruit Monday, Week 15's matchup against the lowly Dolphins could be different.

To have familiar face at QB
Shepard is expected to be on the receiving end of passes from Eli Manning and not Daniel Jones (ankle) on Monday at Philadelphia, Dan Benton of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Jones emerged from Week 13 with a sore right ankle, but a subsequent MRI revealed a "moderate" high-ankle sprain. Considered "week-to-week" by coach Pat Shurmur, Jones is slated to be inactive Monday, yielding his starting spot to Manning. Shepard thus will have a familiar face leading the offense versus an Eagles defense that the wide receiver has feasted against in six matchups, notching 35 catches for 457 yards and four touchdowns, per the Giants' official site.

Injuries and overall offensive struggles have kept Shepard down for much of this season, but he's been prolific when in the game, with at least seven targets in all six of his starts this season.

Analysis: Shepard failed to break free for a catch of longer than six yards, but he found some space on an end-around. More importantly, he looked healthy in his first game action since Week 5, leading the team in targets. There should be better days ahead for Shepard now that he's back from a concussion.

Shepard has been cleared from the concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: A full practice participant throughout the week, Shepard gained clearance Friday afternoon from an independent neurologist. He'll suit up for the first time since Week 5, joining Golden Tate and Darius Slayton in three-wide formations. A road matchup with the Bears defense isn't easy, but there should at least be a few extra targets to go around with tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both ruled out for Sunday's game.

While Shepard has logged back-to-back full practices, it should be noted he logged three in row Week 9 before having a recurrence of symptoms and reentering the protocol. As a result, nothing is guaranteed with the health of the fourth-year wide receiver.

Shepard (concussion) was a full participant at Monday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Giants won't release an official injury report until Wednesday, but the fact he was considered a full participant Monday backs up coach Pat Shurmur's optimism for a return this week. Regardless, the 25-year-old will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist at some point this week if he's going to play Sunday against the Bears. Shepard suffered his second concussion of the season Week 5 versus the Vikings and has missed the last five games.

Coach optimistic for Week 12 return
Coach Pat Shurmur said after Monday's practice that he's optimistic Shepard will clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and suit up Week 12 against the Bears, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: While Shepard remains in the protocol coming off the Giants' Week 11 bye, he took a notable step forward by participating in Monday's practice. The extent of his participation won't be known until the Giants release their first injury report of the week Wednesday, and Shepard still will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist at some point if he's to return to action versus the Bears. Shepard has been diagnosed with two concussions this season and already experienced a setback…read more

Takes part in practice
Shepard (concussion) was seen participating Monday in the Giants' practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The Giants won't release their first Week 12 injury report until Wednesday, at which time Shepard likely will go down as either a limited or full participant in practice. The difference between limited and full participation is fairly significant for the wideout, as the latter would indicate that he has been given the green light to take contact. Shepard has been sidelined since Week 5 after suffering his second concussion of the season and will need to gain clearance from an independent…read more

Ready to resume practicing
Coach Pat Shurmur said Monday that Shepard (concussion) will resume practicing while the Giants are on bye in Week 11, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.
Analysis: While Shepard's ability to practice is encouraging, it's likely he'll still be barred from taking contact since he remains in the NFL's concussion protocol. The bye week should aid Shepard's chances of making it back to action for the Giants' next game Nov. 24 versus the Bears, but clearing the five-step protocol for head injuries still looms as a major obstacle for the wideout. Shepard already has been diagnosed with two concussions this season. He appeared on tap to return ahead of the…read more

Out for another week
Shepard (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Shepard will miss a fifth straight game as he recovers from his second concussion of the year. He cleared the concussion protocol last Friday, only to re-enter it a couple days later and get ruled out for Monday's 37-18 loss to the Cowboys. Another absence leaves Darius Slayton in a full-time role outside, with Golden Tate manning the slot and Bennie Fowler and/or Cody Latimer taking the third receiver spot. Shepard didn't practice in any capacity this week, but an upcoming bye could allow him…read more

Presumed out all week
Shepard (concussion) appears unlikely to return to practice this week, as Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports there will be "no activity" for the wideout.
Analysis: Shepard has been sidelined for four consecutive weeks now, and with another recent occurrence of concussion symptoms, the team won't be taking any risks. Despite an uphill battle ahead, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that the team hasn't yet considered injured reserve, and intends for Shephard to return this season. In the meantime, look for Golden Tate and Darius Slayton to continue to have active roles in the passing game, especially with Evan Engram (foot) ruled out for the Week 10…read more

Missing at practice
Shepard (concussion) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Shepard had been in line to return from a three-game absence to play in the Giants' eventual loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night Football, but he was ruled out a day in advance of the contest after informing the training staff that he suffered a recurrence of concussion symptoms. In light of the setback along with the fact that Shepard has already been diagnosed with two concussions this season, the wideout's availability for the Week 10 game against the Jets -- and perhaps the rest of the…read more

Out for Monday night
The Giants announced that Shepard re-entered the NFL's concussion protocol. The wideout has been ruled out for the Giants' Monday night game against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Shepard cleared the five-step concussion protocol earlier this week and was set to return from a three-game absence, but he reported a recurrence of the concussion symptoms after meeting with the Giants' medical staff Saturday evening, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. With Shepard's absence now extended by at least one more contest, Golden Tate, Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley should be locked in as the Giants' clear top three options in the passing game.

Clears protocol
Shepard cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Friday and will play Monday against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After suffering his second concussion of the season in the Giants' Week 5 loss to the Vikings, Shepard hadn't managed anything more than limited activity in practices the past three weeks before putting in a full session Thursday. The wideout passed the final step of the concussion protocol Friday, when an independent neurologist granted him full clearance for game action. With Shepard back in the fold following a three-game absence, rookie signal-caller Daniel Jones will have all of his key…read more

Logs another full practice
Shepard (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Full participation on consecutive days ensures active status with most injuries, but that isn't always the case for players in the concussion protocol. Shepard will need clearance from an independent neurologist before he can play in Monday's game against the Cowboys.
