The New York Giants will welcome back several reinforcements in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
In addition to quarterback Mike Glennon, who cleared concussion protocol and will start, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard will play.
New York Giants wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard are expected to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday.
Golladay and Shepard are both listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday. Golladay is nursing a rib injury, while Shepard has an injured quad.
Golladay has missed three games this season due to various injuries. He’s hauled in 26 receptions for 406 yards but has not yet reached the endzone.
Shepard, meanwhile, has missed seven games this season due to injury. He’s hauled in 32 receptions for 324 yards and one touchdown.
“I’m very optimistic that I’ll be able to be out there this week with the guys and hopefully that’s the case,” Shepard told reporters this week. “It’s been a bum just sitting on the sideline watching the guys, especially on game day. It already hits me whenever I’ve got to watch them practice and I’m not able to help them out with some of the reps and stuff like that.
“Then on game days, obviously, that’s where you get all the juice and I still have that same fire, that same juice, but I’m not able to go out there and actually perform. It’ll feel good if I’m able to get out there this week and play with the guys.”
The news was not nearly as positive for rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who will miss his fourth game of the season. He had previously been ruled out with an oblique injury.
