Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Just two touches in loss
Shepard brought in one of three targets for seven yards and rushed once for three yards in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Shepard was in on 44 snaps (72 percent) and couldn't do much with them, despite Mike Evans (hamstring) remaining out and Jalen McMillan active but not playing any snaps, potentially due to his own hamstring issue. The veteran appears unable to serve as anything more than a tertiary option at this later stage of his career, as Shepard has just a 16-166-1 receiving line and 7-55-0 rushing tally over eight games.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Good to go
Shepard (hamstring/hip) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Shepard practiced just once this week, logging a limited session Friday, but he apparently showed enough to avoid an injury designation and is now set to work as Tampa's main slot receiver for another week. Fellow Bucs WR Jalen McMillan (hamstring) also returned to practice Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: No practice Thursday
Shepard (hamstring/hip) didn't practice Thursday.
With Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sitting at least one more game and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) and Shepard not practicing yet this week, the Buccaneers' receiving corps is particularly compromised at the moment. Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Shepard has a chance to suit up Sunday versus the 49ers.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Dealing with pair of injuries
Shepard was held out of Wednesday's practice due to hamstring and hip injuries.
The Buccaneers' receiving corps is banged up at the moment, with Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined for at least one more game and both Shepard and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) logging absences to begin Week 10 prep. Shepard has drawn five targets in both of Tampa Bay's last two games, accruing a 7-66-0 receiving line between those contests.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Six touches in OT loss
Shepard brought in four of five targets for 48 yards and rushed twice for 21 yards in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
The veteran wideout was thrust into a key role with Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) all out, and Shepard finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the Buccaneers. Shepard's catch total also was a season high, while his yardage tally was his second highest of the campaign. With a short week before Sunday's Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers, Shepard will be ticketed for another expanded role even if McMillan suits up, considering Evans will sit out through the Week 11 bye.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Active in Week 9
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as active Monday in Kansas City, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Shepard was contained to one limited practice (Saturday) during Week 9 prep due to a hamstring issue, but it won't stop him from being available to an otherwise banged-up receiving corps. Tampa Bay will be without all of Mike Evans (hamstring), Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) in Week 9, meaning Shepard should be targeted early and often by QB Baker Mayfield, assuming he isn't inhibited himself. Along with Shepard, Trey Palmer, Ryan Miller, Rakim Jarrett and Marquez Callaway will be the active options at the position Monday.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Questionable for Week 9
Shepard (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Kansas City.
After sitting out practice Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring concern, Shepard was able to return on a limited basis Saturday, giving himself a chance to be available for Week 9 action. Fellow WR Jalen McMillan showed up on the Buccaneers' injury report Saturday as limited due to a hamstring issue, so Monday's list of inactives will be key as to who may contribute in the passing game in the wake of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) being sidelined.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Present for Saturday's practice
Shepard (hamstring) was present for practice Saturday,Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Shepard logged absences from practice Thursday and Friday, but his presence at Saturday's session offers hope that the wideout will be available Monday night against the Chiefs. Unless he's deemed a full participant Saturday, however, Shepard will presumably carry an injury designation ahead of Week 9 action.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Misses another practice
Shepard (hamstring) isn't participating in Friday's practice, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Shepard will have another opportunity Saturday to potentially get in some practice reps before the Buccaneers determine whether he carries a designation into Monday's game at Kansas City. With Chris Godwin (ankle) on injured reserve and with Mike Evans (hamstring) already ruled out for the Week 9 contest, the Buccaneers' depleted receiver room would take another hit if Shepard is also sidelined against the Chiefs.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Tending to hamstring issue
Shepard was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury.
Shepard has been a regular in the Buccaneers offense since Week 4, accumulating a 11-111-1 line on 17 targets and four carries for 31 yards over the last five contests. With Chris Godwin (ankle) out for the season and Mike Evans (hamstring) in the midst of a likely three-game absence, Shepard was expected to take on an even larger role, but this new health concern may put a wrench in those plans. In the end, Shepard's activity level, or lack thereof, Friday and Saturday may provide insight into his chances to play Monday at Kansas City.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Three grabs in loss
Shepard secured three of five targets for 18 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Shepard's production didn't see a boost despite the absences of Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and the fact he logged a robust 45 snaps (62 percent). The veteran wideout does have plenty of familiarity with Baker Mayfield from their college days and has shown some flashes this season, but his production will remain hard to trust in a tough Week 9 road matchup against the defending champion Chiefs next Monday night.
