Giants veteran WR ‘on schedule’ to return from injury in 2023

The New York Giants revamped their offensive lineup this offseason, adding a slew of new talent at wide receiver and tight end. Some familiar faces will also return this season, though, including veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard.

The Giants re-signed Shepard this offseason on a one-year deal. Shepard suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Week 3 of the 2022 season, marking the fourth season in a row he has appeared in 12 or fewer games.

Shepard is making progress, however, as he stated at mandatory minicamp. The Giants’ longest-tenured player told reporters that he is “right on schedule” in his ACL recovery on the first day of minicamp on Tuesday.
