Sterling Shepard Expects To Return This Week
3 years agoNew York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) said he feels great and ready to go for a Week 6 meeting with the Los Angeles Rams. "Back this week and hopefully we can get the W," Shepard said. Shepard is back at practice on Wednesday and looks ready to return after missing the last two games. New York could really use both Shepard and Darius Slayton (hamstring), who has also missed the last two games, with running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) not expected to be available this Sunday. With Shepard out the last two weeks, rookie Kadarius Toney has stepped up and become the team's most reliable pass-catcher. It's uncertain how the work will be split up if Shepard returns, and the matchup against the Rams isn't a kind one.
