Shepard (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, but he was able to do some work on a side field, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
The same goes for Darius Slayton, who also missed Week 4 after suffering a hamstring injury Week 3. Fellow wideouts Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney responded with their best games of the season in an overtime win over the Saints, with John Ross adding a 51-yard touchdown as the No. 3 receiver (four targets, 44 percent snap share). Shepard and Slayton seem to be making progress, but it isn't clear if either has a real shot to make it back for Sunday's big game against the Cowboys.
