Shepard (quadriceps) wasn't present Tuesday for the Giants' informal practice session, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
The Giants are on bye Week 10, but the team is holding a light practice Tuesday for both rehabbing players and less-established members of the roster. Shepard's absence doesn't come as much of a surprise, given that he sat out two days earlier in the Giants' win over the Raiders after having not practiced in the week leading up to the contest. The Giants likely won't have a better sense of his availability for their next game Nov. 22 in Tampa Bay until next week.
