Giants' receiver Shepard ruled out against Redskins

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been made inactive for Thursday's game against the Washington Redskins.

The reason is because of migraine headaches, according to a source.

Shepard missed Sunday's win over the Kansas City Chiefs and has not practiced this week. He tried to do some light running this week, but the migraines returned.

A source told ESPN's Jordan Raanan that Shepard felt "better" on Wednesday, and he made the trip with the Giants to Maryland in hope of being active Thursday night.

His absence will leave the Giants thin at wide receiver.
