Sterling Shepard was activated off injured reserve on Thursday afternoon, but he still has one more obstacle to clear before he can play in Thursday night’s game against the Eagles.
The Giants wide receiver will be put through a pregame workout to make sure he is able to make all of the maneuvers necessary to contribute to the gameplan.
Shepard has been sidelined since Week 2 with a turf toe, and while he worked on the side with trainers during practices, he has not been able to participate in any of the team’s full-speed workouts. The Giants designated him to return from injured reserve on Monday, but because of the short week have had only walk-throughs in preparation for the Eagles.
