Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Ready for Week 16
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.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Limited Thursday
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.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Still working through foot injury
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.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Records one catch in win
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.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Suiting up Sunday
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.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Trending toward playing Week 15
Shepard, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Chargers due to a foot injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Shepard popped up on the injury report Wednesday due to a foot issue and didn't practice in either of Tampa Bay's first two sessions this week. However, he was able to participate in a limited fashion Friday, and he's expected to be officially cleared to play Sunday when the Buccaneers post their inactive list 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Shepard has increased his production since the Buccaneers' Week 11 bye, tallying 13 receptions for 121 yards over the team's past three contests.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Listed as questionable
Shepard (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers after returning to practice Friday as a limited participant.
The limited practice Friday represents Shepard's only participation this week, although there hasn't been any indication his foot injury is serious. 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. If Shepard is declared inactive before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Trey Palmer and Rakim Jarrett will be the top candidates to take on extra WR snaps.

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, 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
Shepard didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Brianna Dix of the 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.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Four more catches Sunday
Shepard brought in four of six targets for 63 yards in the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Shepard put together another solid performance as the Buccaneers' third receiver, tying starters Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan for the team lead in receptions while checking in third in receiving yards with a figure that also qualified as a new season high. Shepard has experienced somewhat of a resurgence playing with college teammate Baker Mayfield following a forgettable and injury-plagued final three seasons with the Giants, posting a 29-287-1 line on 45 targets over 11 games, including at least four receptions in four of the last five contests.

Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Solid showing in OT win
Shepard brought in four of seven targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
The veteran wideout tied Cade Otton for the second-most targets on the Bucs while also checking in as the runner-up to Mike Evans in receiving yards. Shepard has carved out a decent complementary niche in the Buccaneers' air attack, recording at least three catches and five targets in four of the last five games while eclipsing 40 receiving yards twice in that span. Shepard should continue drawing his fair share of one-time college teammate Baker Mayfield's attention in a Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders.
