Shepard (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Ahead of a Week 15 matchup with the Chargers, Shepard managed just one limited practice (Friday) due to a foot injury but still suited up this past Sunday, earning a 50 percent snap share and catching his only target for 16 yards. This time around, he sat out Wednesday but followed it up with back-to-back capped sessions due to the same health concern. With his status cleared for Week 16, Shepard will remain the No. 3 WR behind top options Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan.

Shepard (foot) practiced on a limited basis Thursday. Shepard thus has made a bit of progress after sitting out Wednesday's session due to a foot injury and even is ahead of last week's practice regimen, when he didn't get back on the field until Friday as a limited participant. This Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not the wideout enters the weekend with a designation for Sunday's contest in Dallas.

Shepard (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report. Shepard was able to play through the foot issue in this past Sunday's 40-17 win over the Chargers, though he played just 48 percent of the Buccaneers' offensive snaps and finished with one catch for 16 yards. The veteran wide receiver should be able to play against the Cowboys this Sunday, so long as he's able to practice in some capacity by Friday. Shepard has accumulated 14 catches (on 21 targets) for 137 yards in the four games since Tampa Bay's Week 11 bye.

Shepard brought in his only target for a 16-yard gain in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday. Shepard played through the foot issue that had hampered him during the practice week, but he took a back seat to Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan during the high-scoring win. However, Shepard still logged a solid 32 snaps and remains firmly entrenched in the No. 3 receiver role heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys.

Shepard (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 15 game against the Chargers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Shepard was trending upward entering the weekend after managing to get in a limited practice Friday, and his availability is now confirmed. The veteran wideout has settled in nicely as a complementary pass-catching option in the wake of Chris Godwin's season-ending ankle injury, recording a 21-194-0 line on 33 targets over the last six contests.
