Shepard (quadriceps) remained limited to working on a side field with the Giants' training staff during Wednesday's informal practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Shepard's inability to take reps with his healthy teammates isn't the best sign coming out of a bye week, but he at least has an extra day to prepare with the Giants facing the Buccaneers on "Monday Night Football" in Week 11. The G-Men will release their first official practice report Thursday, at which point Shepard presumably will be listed as either a limited participant or non-participant. He missed a Week 9 loss to Kansas City before last week's bye.
