Giants' Sterling Shepard out vs. Saints Because of Hamstring Injury

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard will miss Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury.

The Giants will also be without the services of Darius Slayton, who's also battling a hamstring problem.

Shepard led the Giants in receptions (66) and was second on the team in receiving yards (656) in 2020. It was a solid return considering he missed four games due to turf toe.

Injuries have been a persistent—albeit relatively minor—issue for the 28-year-old, who was out for 15 combined games over the past four seasons.
