STERLING SHEPARD NEWS

Catches seven of eight targets Shepard caught seven of eight targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 19-17 win over the Bengals.

Impact 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 injury.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 is expected to suit up against the Bengals on Sunday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Shepard is officially listed with both hip and toe injuries on Wednesday's injury report, per Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio, but it appears that he's still on track for Week 12. The 27-year-old wideout has put together four straight games with at least six catches while serving as Daniel Jones' preferred checkdown option.

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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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 (toe/hip) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact The Giants have listed Shepard as a limited participant in every practice since he came off injured reserve before the Week 7 loss to Philadelphia.

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.

Impact 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 he tallied his lone TD of the year against Week 7.

Cleared for Sunday Shepard (shoulder/toe) will play in Sunday's game at Washington, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.
