Sterling Shepard injury - What are the Giants’ options for a replacement?

The New York Giants suffered a stunning loss when wide receiver Sterling Shepard suffered a torn ACL in the closing seconds of Monday Night’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants formally announced the loss on Tuesday morning, with Head Coach Brian Daboll confirming that Shepard tore his ACL following the game-ending interception. Not only will the season-ending injury open up a roster spot, but it creates a massive void in the Giants’ shaky wide receiving group.

The loss of Shepard is, in the words of Saquon Barkley, a gut-punch. But the NFL season marches on and the Giants now have a hole to fill, so what are the Giants’ options?
