Stefon Diggs Ruled Out for Week 5

Friday, October 9, 9:25 AM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring), who has been unable to practice this week while dealing with a hamstring injury, has been ruled out for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Giants. Diggs saw sporadic usage through the first half of a Week 4 loss to the Colts before finding more involvement in a pass-heavy second half, finishing the day with 35 yards on five receptions in a game missed by Terry McLaurin (hamstring). McLaurin, limited again this week by his own hamstring injury, reportedly looked good in his return to practice on Friday and is trending in the right direction to suit up on Sunday, along with quarterback Jayden Daniels.

Sterling Shepard News

Sterling Shepard Joining Jets' Practice Squad

Tuesday, September 15, 11:36 AM

The New York Jets are signing veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard to their practice squad, according to Mike Garafolo. Shepard had a brief stint with Houston late in the preseason before being released at final cuts, and now he's heading back to New Jersey after spending the first eight seasons of his career with the Giants. The timing makes sense for a Jets team dealing with some receiver injuries. Omar Cooper Jr. is week-to-week with an ankle sprain, while Tim Patrick was placed on injured reserve over the weekend. Shepard caught 39 passes for 371 yards and one touchdown in 13 games with Tampa Bay last season, so there is still some experience here if New York needs it. For now, though, this is only a practice-squad move. Shepard would need to be elevated before he can help on game day, and there is no reason for fantasy managers to add him in standard leagues yet.
