Sterling Shepard wasn’t even aware he had been on the injury report all this week.
The Giants called him as a limited participant in each of their practices, including Saturday’s.
"Oh, I didn’t know I was listed as that," he said after the workout, blissfully ignorant of the paperwork and classifications that teams must produce to designate players at various levels of readiness. Players normally pay little mind to such technicalities.
