They always seem to know the true importance of the position and the difficulty in which it brings. New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is one of those players. He made sure to give star running back Saquon Barkley his flowers.</p><p>“The man has handled it like a true pro. There’s been times where other guys don’t know how he’s handling it that way. But that’s just what type of guy Saquon is…. There’s not too many people that can handle a coach coming in and telling him, ‘Look, you gotta take this game over,’ and then they go out and do exactly that. Special. <a href="https://twitter.com/PLeonardNYDN/status/1724515526683099272" rel="noopener">Generational talent</a>. There’s no other way to put it,” said Shepard, per Pat Leonard at New York Daily News.</p><p>Barkley’s been the leader on and off the field in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-saquon-barkleys-frustrated-reaction-ugly-32-point-loss-cowboys" rel="noopener">difficult season</a> for the Giants. New York lies at the bottom of the NFC East with a 2-8 record. Despite their struggles, Barkley’s been able to produce at a high level. He’s recorded 568 yards and one touchdown in seven games this season.</p><p>Part of Shepard’s praise comes from Barkley being one of the only consistent pieces to this Giants roster. With an offense that’s had three different quarterbacks under center, it would be difficult for a running back to get going, but Barkley will find the open field whether he gets the defense’s attention or not.

New York hopes that this season is a full one for the 30-year-old and its longest-tenured player.</p><p>After playing seven games in the 2021 season and just three last year, Shepard is eager to maintain his health and help the Giants get back into the postseason. Tearing his Achilles one year and his ACL the next have given him massive So far this offseason, Shepard is <a href="https://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-giants/post/_/id/64567/giants-sterling-shepard-still-has-his-wiggle-after-acl-tear" rel="noopener">feeling good</a> about where he’s at physically, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN</p><p>“I worked extremely hard to get back to here, but that is just one step of the process of where I wanted to get back to,” Shepard said, via ESPN. “Now I’m just focused on every day getting better and better. But I’m grateful to be here.”</p><p>Giants head coach Brian Daboll likes what he sees from Shepard heading into the season. “He’s looked pretty good in terms of his quickness and his explosion coming back after a couple years of injuries,” Daboll said, via ESPN. “So I’m pleased with where he’s at.”</p><p>The Giants’ receiving core is the deepest it has been since Odell Beckham Jr. was on the team. Tight end Darren Waller highlights a solid core including youngsters Jaylin Hyatt (<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-jalin-hyatts-number-change-give-new-york-fans-odell-beckham-jr-nostalgia" rel="noopener">the new no. 13</a>), Wan’Dale Robinson and Isaiah Hodgins, plus veteran holdover Darius Slayton. While Shepard now has a much lighter load to carry, he also has a tougher route to seeing snaps.</p><p>Still, Shepard is a productive player when he’s on the field. In each of his first five seasons — when he played at least 10 games each time — he comfortably crossed the thresholds of 55 catches and 550 receiving yards while scoring multiple touchdowns and getting some looks in the run game. The Giants don’t have a clear-cut WR1, though Waller will likely be the top pass-catcher. This leaves room for Shep to retain a big role.</p><p>As a veteran and leader of the team, Sterling Shepard should continue to be helpful for a Giants team trying to establish itself as a playoff contender.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Even with Saquon Barkley back <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-saquon-barkley-2023-contract-training-camp" rel="noopener">after a contract dispute</a>, it’s up to Daniel Jones to get the team back in the playoffs. The returns to action for wide receivers Sterling Shepard and Jamison Crowder should help.</p><p>With Jones now being paid top dollar, the Giants have to put him in situations to succeed. A deep core of wide receivers that play around star tight end Darren Waller, who has been <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/giants-news-darren-waller-dominating-training-camp-has-twitter-buzzing" rel="noopener">crushing it in practice so far</a>, should help him make more strides as a passer.</p><p>As the Giants embark on training camp, they are making big moves to get Shepard and Crowder <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1685644153927929856?s=20" rel="noopener">back onto the practice field</a>, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The former tore his ACL in Week 3 in 2022 and the latter has dealt with a calf injury. Now, they will have ample to time to prepare for the upcoming season.</p><p>“The Giants are activating WRs Sterling Shepard from PUP and Jamison Crowder from NFI today, I’m told. They’ll be on the field for practice and begin to ramp up,” writes Pelissero.</p><p>Getting Shepard back from the Physically Unable to Perform list and Crowder back from the Non-Football Injury list gives Jones the chance to work with two of his key wideouts ahead of the season. Although Jones and Shepard already have years of chemistry, working together ahead of the season is key. Getting work Crowder is more important in his first season with New York. The 30-year-old joined in free agency after playing an injury-shortened season for the Buffalo Bills.</p><p>The Giants’ receiving corps lacks a proven star but goes deep with Shepard, Crowder, Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, Parris Campbell, Cole Beasley and Jalin Hyatt. Having so many options will help New York in the case of injury and with keeping fresh legs in the offense. Jones has to get better at stretching defenses deep while maintaining his poise and careful decision-making.</p><p>Whether the Giants’ quantity of options provides enough quality production for the offense to take a step forward remains to be seen. But having a myriad of combinations at their disposal should allow for them to find one that works.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Shepard’s injury was particularly worrisome given there was no contact when his knee gave out. Instead, Shepard was simply running a route when his ACL tore, and now the Giants receiver has explained what he thinks went wrong. <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1577764742256594974?s=20&amp;t=Kmm6RM8pAOS1lsMckUqzQA">Via Mike Garafolo,</a> Shepard admitted that he thinks he tore his ACL a couple of plays earlier, but didn’t realize until he collapsed on the field.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">If you thought it was weird that <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Giants?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Giants</a> WR Sterling Shepard tore his ACL while jogging, he offered up a possible explanation to the media today. <a href="https://t.co/OQIXQxilCD">pic.twitter.com/OQIXQxilCD</a></p><p>— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1577764742256594974?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 5, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>“It was really weird. I think it actually partially tore it probably like two plays before that. I think I partially tore it. I kind of got up and my knee did something funny. I was just like ‘Forget about it and keep on pushing.’ The next play actually got blown dead, which in hindsight I’m kind of happy about because I was about to have to stick off my left and hard cut. And the next play I was literally just jogging, and I’m sure you guys saw it. It just slid on me and popped.”</p><p>Media members asked Shepard if he thought that the Cowboys’ playing field had anything to do with the injury. Shepard didn’t play too much into that. While he admitted he preferred playing on grass over turf, the Giants wide receiver didn’t seem to think the playing surface was responsible for his torn ACL.</p><p>Shepard’s ACL tear is a big blow for the 29-year-old wide receiver, who hasn’t played a full slate of 16 games since the 2018 season. Last year, Shepard’s season ended after just seven games when he sustained a torn Achilles tendon. He managed just three games in 2022 before the knee injury ended his season.</p><p>During his short sample this year, Sterling Shepard recorded 13 receptions for 154 yards and one touchdown.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He had just recently returned to the field after tearing his achilles last season, and will now be forced to undergo another lengthy recovery for this latest injury.
