EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned to practice on Wednesday, a little more than eight months after tearing his Achilles tendon in a game against Dallas in late December. The Giants activated their current longest-tenured player off the active-physically unable to perform list and he took part in the afternoon workout.
