Is this it for Sterling Shepard as a Giant?

Possibly. The wide receiver who is the longest tenured player on the roster tore his left Achilles in a non-contact injury late in Sunday’s 21-6 loss to the Cowboys. While he has two seasons left on his contract, there was speculation the Giants might part ways with him this offseason even before this significant injury. Shepard already had missed time with hamstring and quad injuries this season before getting carted off the field with 1:26 remaining.
