Giants head coach Joe Judge implied Shepard (hamstring) will be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's contest against the Panthers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. "We'll kind of move him around and see where he's at," Judge said Friday. "Some things that kind of accumulated throughout the course of a season. We'll see where he's at going into the game."
After returning from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury to play 92 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Rams, Shepard was added back to the practice report Thursday when the same injury cropped up again. He finished the week with a pair of limited practices to take a questionable designation into Sunday, but Shepard's status looks like it could come down to a gameday workout. If Shepard avoids the inactive list ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he could be poised for a high-volume role in the passing attack with all of Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) already ruled out for Week 7.
