Sterling Shepard remains on injured reserve, but coach Joe Judge said he is "a little bit closer" to returning than he was last week and even dangled the idea that his availability for Thursday night’s contest against the Eagles could be a game-time decision.

The wide receiver suffered a turf toe injury in Week 2 but is eligible to be designated to return at any time.
