Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Ready for Week 16
Sterling 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.

He got either six or seven targets in each of the past three games, catching 13 of 20 passes for 121 yards in that stretch.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Sitting out another practice
Sterling (foot) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.With a pair of absences to begin Week 15 prep, Sterling Shepard's status for Sunday's game against the Chargers is looking shaky. The veteran wideout will likely need to practice in some fashion Friday just to carry a questionable tag into the weekend, while another missed practice would likely result in him being ruled out for Sunday's game. Shepard hasn't topped a 52 percent snap share in any of Tampa Bay's last three contests but has nonetheless seen his involvement in the passing game increase, as he's put together a 13-121-0 receiving line on 20 targets during that stretch.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Dealing with foot issue
Sterling Shepard didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Brianna Dix of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' official site reports.Shepard joined No. 1 wideout Mike Evans (hamstring) as a non-participant to kick off Week 15 prep. Evans doesn't require much, if any, practice reps in order to be ready for game day, but the same can't be said for Shepard in his first full season with the team. Shepard's activity level Thursday and Friday will be key for determining his potential to suit up Sunday at the Chargers.
