Jones not worried about offensive mates for Giants

Daniel Jones isn’t worrying whether running back Saquon Barkley or wide receivers Kenny Golladay, Kadarius Toney or Sterling Shepard are going to the lineup for the New York Giants...

Warming up before practice Shepard (hamstring) was in uniform and going through stretches before Wednesday's practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact We'll have to wait until Thursday for an official injury report, but it sounds like Shepard, Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) all are at least moving in the right direction, with each of the three -- plus RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) -- suiting up for stretches Wednesday. The Giants face 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.

Impact 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 p...

Impact 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 Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle).

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....

Impact 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. If Shepard avoids the inactive list ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he could be poised for a high-volume role in the passing attack with all of Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) already ruled out for Week 7.

Questionable to face Panthers Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Shepard is one of four New York pass catchers listed as questionable, along with WRs Darius Slayton and John Ross and TE Evan Engram. Meanwhile, Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney have been ruled out, not to mention RB Saquon Barkley. It's a messy situation ahead of the 1:00 ET kickoff, but Shepard did manage limited practice participation Thursday and Friday, hinting that his return to the injury report isn't too serious. There's little doubt he'll see targets, if he avoids the inactive list and makes it through the game without an early exit.

Practicing Friday Shepard (hamstring) is participating at Friday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Shepard was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant, and it appears he's at minimum working in that capacity again Friday. The Giants' final Week 7 pracice report will reveal whether Shepard approaches Sunday's game against the Panthers with an injury designation.

Returns to injury report Shepard (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Shepard previously sat out games in Weeks 4 and 5 with a hamstring injury, but he returned to action last Sunday against the Rams and turned in a 10-76-0 line on 14 targets. The wideout's absence from the initial Week 7 practice report that was released Wednesday seemingly indicated that Shepard came out of that game unscathed, but his reappearance on Thursday's report suddenly makes his availability uncertain again as Sunday's game against the Panthers approaches. Given that top tight end Evan Engram (calf), top running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and five of the Giants' top six receivers were either limited or non-participants in Thursday's session, there could be plenty of targets up for grabs Sunday.

Extremely busy in return Shepard (hamstring) secured 10 of 14 targets for 76 yards in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact 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. Shepard's reception, yardage and target totals all were team-high figures, with the first and last also serving as new high-water marks for the season. He figures to remain consistently involved even if some or all of his position mates are able to return to action in a Week 7 home matchup against the Panthers.

Cleared for return Shepard (hamstring) has no injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact 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.
