Giants' Sterling Shepard (toe) practicing on Tuesday ahead of Week 7's clash with Eagles
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (toe) returned to practice on Tuesday after being officially designated to return from the injured list.
What It Means:
Shepard now has a three-week window to be brought back to the active roster and could return as soon as Thursday. If he does, he will have missed four weeks with a toe injury suffered against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. If active, he would provide a boost for a Giants' offense that needs all the weapons they can get. Our models project Shepard for 3.3 targets against an Eagles defense ranked 24th against wide receivers in numberFire's advanced stats.
The Giants are 4.0-point underdogs against the Eagles on Thursday. Their implied team total of 19.75 points is the third-lowest team total on the 'Thursday-Monday' slate, according to numberFire's DFS Heat Map.
