Shepherd didn't participate in practice Sunday due to a toe issue, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
The exact nature and severity of Shepherd's injury are unclear, and it remains to be seen how long he'll be sidelined. The defensive tackle has been a very reliable presence in recent campaigns, playing in all 17 contests each of the past three regular seasons. Shepherd is slated to again be a prominent part of the Saints' defensive interior in the second year of a three-year contract he signed in March 2023.
