EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard tore his Achilles late last year. That's not going to stop him from playing in this year's season opener against the Titans.
Shepard fully plans on playing Sunday in Tennessee.
"Yep, ready to go," he told ESPN.
Shepard returned to practice just over two weeks. He did not appear in a preseason contest. But the veteran receiver will be back in game action less than nine months after tearing his Achilles.
There seems to be a realistic chance he starts opposite Kenny Golladay.
