For a guy who didn’t take a snap in a preseason game, Sterling Shepard had an eventful summer.
It started with him fracturing the tip of his left thumb in the first workout of training camp; saw him wear a splint while catching passes in practice; had him donning a yellow non-contact jersey that other players at times seemed to ignore; and brought consternation upon the Giants for being too risky with a player they are counting on for so much this season.
