Shepard (hamstring) returned to practice Wednesday, saying afterward that he's good to go and will be back in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rams, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Multiple Giants beat writers have also said Shepard is expected back this week. 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. Assuming Shepard does return, he could end up splitting slot work with Toney, as they've been the team's two most productive pass catchers on a per-snap and per-route basis. The Week 6 matchup appears to be a challenging one for both wideouts, with Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey playing nearly half his snaps versus slot receivers this season.
