Buccaneers | Sterling Shepard able to return Sun Oct 27, 08:13 PM
Updating a previous report, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was able to return in the second half of the Week 8 game against the Atlanta Falcons after exiting with a hamstring injury.
| Footballguys view: Shepard was targeted three times and caught two passes for 13 yards. He primarily handled the role vacated by Chris Godwin, who played 61 percent of his snaps from the slot. Shepard played 61 percent of his snaps against Atlanta from the slot. As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, Jalen McMillan was considered by many to be Godwin's replacement. Still, his alignment distribution in this game was very similar to his previous games this season -- only a slight increase in slot snaps. The Buccaneers play the Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 9. We'll follow up on Shepard as needed. |

Buccaneers | Sterling Shepard suffers injury Sun Oct 27, 02:21 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Sterling Shepard (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the Week 8 game and is considered questionable to return.

Tampa's pass offense was relying more on the running backs and starting tight end Cade Otton already, now they will be forced to do that even more. |
