New York Giants place WR Sterling Shepard on IR, what now?

The injury bug just keeps getting worse for the New York Giants, as they lost both Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard last Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Barkley’s injury is much more severe, having torn his ACL and partially his meniscus. Unfortunately, he will require surgery and miss the entire 2020 season. As for Sterling Shepard, the Giants placed him on injured reserve Wednesday morning, which means he cannot return for a minimum of three games.

After getting his foot stuck underneath of him on a tackle attempt against the Bears, Shep came up gimpy and ultimately was unable to return.
