New York Giants place WR Russell Shepard on IR

Big Blue has made some roster moves ahead of their Week 4 home game against the Washington Redskins.

On Thursday, the New York Giants decided to place veteran wide receiver Russell Shepard on injured reserve. Shepard was doubtful to play this coming Sunday due to a foot sprain, one he suffered during Week 3’s win in Tampa Bay. He’s mostly been a special teams asset for New York this season.
