Sterling Shepard was limited in Wednesday’s practice but said he was able to run full speed on his sprained ankle and sees no reason why he won’t be able to play on Sunday against the Seahawks.

“Getting close,” the second-year receiver said of his prognosis. “It felt a lot better to run around and get moving. Last week I was very limited, so I got to cut a little bit today, got to run some individual routes, and got in some of the team sets. It felt pretty good.”

Shepard’s ankle was part of the rash of injuries to receivers that the Giants experienced in their Week 5 game against the Chargers.
