  • 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

  • Returning to action Thursday

    Shepard (toe) is listed as active Thursday at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Activated from IR earlier Thursday, Shepard tested out his turf toe injury with some routes during pregame warmups, per Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. Clearly, the activity was enough for the Giants to give Shepard the all-clear to play for the first time since Week 2. While it's unclear if he'll take on his normal workload, he'll likely work in three-wide sets with Darius Slayton and Golden Tate against an Eagles defense that has allowed the sixth-most catches (82) to wide receivers…read more

  • Comes off IR

    The Giants activated Shepard (toe) off injured reserve Thursday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

    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. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network noted Shepard will be subject to a pregame workout before the Giants make a decision on his availability for Thursday's game at Philadelphia, but the road his been paved for his return to action.

  • 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. Because of his lack of recent game action and minimal practice time over the last month, Shepard could face some sort…read more

  • Potential game-time call

    Shepard (toe) could be a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup with the Eagles, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    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. The team needs to transfer Shepard to the active roster before 4 p.m. ET on Thursday in order for him to play in the upcoming game, though Stapleton suggests a final decision may not be made until the late afternoon…read more

  • Window opens for return from IR

    The Giants designated Shepard (toe) for return from IR on Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    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. If he isn't activated from injured reserve in time for Thursday's game, New York will continue to rely on Darius Slayton (foot)…read more

  • Could return Thursday

    Shepard (toe) continues to work on the side and could be activated from IR before Thursday's game versus the Eagles, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    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. The fifth-year wideout hasn't played since Week 2 against the Bears. If he's able to return to the lineup, Shepard would be a starter in three-wide sets alongside Darius Slayton (foot) and Golden Tate. Through the first two games, Shepard caught eight of…read more

  • Works on side Thursday

    Shepard (toe) got in some light work on the side during Thursday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: While Shepard is eligible to take part in practice after spending three weeks on IR, he didn't participate as he draws closer to the final stages of his recovery from a turf toe injury. He doesn't seem likely to be activated in time for Sunday's game against Washington, which would make his next chance to play Week 7 in Philadelphia. In the meantime, Darius Slayton (foot) and Golden Tate will continue to earn the bulk of the targets among Giants wide receivers.

  • May not practice this week

    The Giants may not designate Shepard (toe) to return from injured reserve this week, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: If the Giants aren't sure that Shepard will be ready to return ahead of a Thursday night contest against the Eagles in Week 7, Stapleton posits that it could make sense for the team to wait until Oct. 22 to officially open the wideout's 21-day window for being evaluated in practice. 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.

  • Return to practice imminent

    Coach Joe Judge said Monday that he expects Shepard (toe) to return to practice this week, indicating that he could play Sunday against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: If Shepard indeed returns to practice, it'll open the 21-day window for the wide receiver to be activated from IR. Judge explained that he wants to get Shepard moving in practice and see how he responds before making any decisions on his game status. If Shepard returns for Sunday's game, he's expected to start in three-wide sets even if he's still held back a bit by his injury.

  • Joins Barkley on IR

    The Giants placed Shepard (toe) on injured reserve Wednesday, Michael Eisen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Shepard becomes the second Giants skill-position player to head to IR in the last two days, joining running back Saquon Barkley (knee), who will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL. Fortunately for Shepard, his bout with turf toe isn't nearly as dire, but he'll be forced to miss at least three games as a result of the injury. While Shepard is on the mend, Damion Ratley and C.J. Board will see added opportunities in three-receiver sets alongside starters Darius Slayton and Golden…read more

  • Unlikely to play Week 3

    The Giants don't anticipate Shepard (toe) being available to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Shepard exited the Giants' Week 2 loss to the Bears due to a suspected case of turf toe, playing just 15 first-half snaps before heading to the locker room. Though the Giants haven't commented on the severity of his injury, the team apparently doesn't have much early optimism that Shepard will be able to rally for Sunday's game. New York will presumably wait and see what Shepard can do in practices Wednesday through Friday before making an official call on his status, but if he's sidelined…read more

  • Turf toe suspected

    Shepard (toe) is believed to have suffered a turf toe injury during Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Bears, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    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 the event that Shepard's injury is significant enough that he's forced to miss any time, Damion Ratley and C.J. Board stand to see increased reps behind top wideouts Darius Slayton and Golden Tate.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Shepard won't return to Sunday's contest in Chicago due to a toe injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Shepard got hurt late in the first half, limping to the sideline and reaching at his left foot before limping to the locker room, per Leonard. After attempting to run a route on the Giants' first play of the third quarter, Shepard again made a visit to the locker room, and the team ruled him out a short time later. He'll end Week 2 with two receptions (on four targets) for 29 yards and one six-yard carry. With Shepard out, the Giants will turn to Darius Slayton, Golden Tate, Damion Ratley and…read more

  • Hurts toe Week 2

    Shepard picked up a toe injury during Sunday's contest at Chicago.

    Analysis: The Giants already lost lead back Saquon Barkley to a knee injury, and now the team's No. 1 wide receiver has a health concern. The potential exists for Shepard to return, but in the meantime position mates Darius Slayton, Golden Tate, Damion Ratley and C.J. Board will hold down the fort.

  • Makes six grabs

    Shepard caught all six of his targets for 47 yards in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Shepard hauled in everything thrown his way besides an unsuccessful two-point conversion, but his production was limited to underneath routes for modest gains. 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. Although having Golden Tate sidelined Monday adds another factor to consider, Shepard's stock could still benefit from more vertical looks. In absence of those, he'll remain of most value…read more

  • Locked in for key role

    Shepard, Golden Tate and Darius Slayton appear locked in as the Giants' top three wide receivers, Michael Eisen of the official team website reports.

    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. There's also been some question about his effectiveness playing outside rather than the slot, though he seems to draw targets whenever he's on the…read more

  • 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.

  • Leading receiver in win

    Shepard caught nine of 11 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 36-20 win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Shepard led the Giants in targets, catches and receiving yards, but he just missed getting into the end zone. The 26-year-old wideout reached 100 receiving yards for the second time in eight games played this season, but he's still stuck on two touchdowns. Now that he's healthy, Shepard will look to build off this performance when the Giants travel to Washington in Week 16.

  • 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.

    Shepard caught three of seven passes for 40 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-13 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Shepard tied the game up late in the first quarter when he corralled an 18-yard lollipop from Daniel Jones near the front pylon for his first touchdown since Week 3. 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. He's a strong fit for Jones' quick-strike style, and the two's rapport should improve with time. Next up is a Week 14 Monday night…read more

    Shepard caught five of nine targets for 15 yards and added a 22-yard rush in Sunday's 19-14 loss to Chicago.

    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. Up next is a Week 13 home date with the Packers.

  • Removed from concussion protocol

    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.

    Shepard (concussion) will visit an independent neurologist Friday in an effort to gain clearance for Sunday's game in Chicago, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Shepard has been a full practice participant throughout the week, potentially setting up his first game appearance since Week 5. The Giants certainly could use the pass-catching help, with tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) both ruled out already. Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record relays that coach Pat Shurmur is optimistic Shepard will be cleared for Sunday's game.

  • Another full practice Thursday

    Shepard (concussion) practiced fully Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

    Analysis: Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, coach Pat Shurmur expects Shepard to get out of the concussion protocol prior to Sunday's game at Chicago, but his evaluation in front of an independent neurologist won't happen until Friday, at the earliest. 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.

    Analysis: Per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Shepard remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, but the Giants expect him to receive full clearance from an independent neurologist later this week. Barring any setbacks, the 25-year-old is trending toward suiting up for Sunday's contest against the Bears after missing the Giants' previous five contests.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

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.

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.
