Shepard is in line to sign with the Buccaneers' practice squad, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Shepard was released as part of Tampa Bay's final roster cuts Monday. The 31-year-old will now stick with the team on the practice squad, where he should serve as one of the top options to move up to the active roster if the Buccaneers are in need of extra receiver depth at some point this regular season. Shepard appeared in 15 regular-season games for the Giants in 2023, catching 10 passes for 57 yards and one touchdown.

The Buccaneers released Shepard on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Shepard inked a deal with the Buccaneers in June after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Giants, but it now appears that Tampa Bay has decided to part ways with the veteran wideout. According to Rapoport, the Buccaneers are holding a spot for Shepard on the team's practice squad if the 31-year-old clears waivers.

Shepard (undisclosed) is not likely to suit up for the Buccaneers' preseason finale against the Dolphins on Friday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. An unspecified injury has kept Shepard from playing in either of the Bucs' first two preseason games, and it appears he will also sit out for the preseason finale Friday. Despite missing an extended amount of time, the 2016 second-round pick is expected to make Tampa Bay's 53-man roster as a backup wide receiver behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan. Shepard signed a one-year deal with the Bucs in June after spending the first eight years of his NFL career with the Giants.

Shepard (undisclosed) practiced Tuesday while wearing a black non-contact jersey, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. Shepard's return to the field is good news, but his limited availability should keep him questionable for Friday's game against the Dolphins.

Shepard, who did not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Bengals, is dealing with an unspecified injury and didn't practice Monday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports. Smith notes the wideout actually began missing practice time in the days leading up to the game versus Cincinnati. Shepard, who was a college teammate of Baker Mayfield, was brought in to offer veteran depth, although he may realistically serve as no more than a No. 5 receiver given the promising play of both rookie Jalen McMillan and second-year wideout Trey Palmer.
