Shepard (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Both Shepard and Darius Slayton have missed consecutive contests with hamstring injuries, but both players were back on the field Wednesday as limited participants. After the session, Shepard relayed to Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger that he'll be back this week, but the Giants likely will want him to be a full participant Thursday and/or Friday to prove his health. Meanwhile, No. 1 wide receiver Kenny Golladay is expected to miss at least one game due to a hyperextended knee, and rookie Kadarius Toney injured his ankle this past Sunday in Dallas, With that in mind, Shepard could serve as the team's de facto top wideout this weekend against the Rams if he gains clearance to play.
