Wide receiver Sterling Shepard was carted off the field after suffering what the team is hoping is only a sprianed ankle Wednesday at New York Giants' camp according to Jordan Raanan.
"Ben McAdoo says hope is Sterling Shepard has a rolled/sprained ankle. Cart turned out to be a precaution. They're still looking at him." Raanan tweeted.
The 24-year-old appeared to suffer the injury during one-on-one drills involving receivers and corners. McAdoo said it appeared to be a "basketball" type injury.
How much time Shepard will miss is unclear.
Last season was a breakout year for Shepard, putting up 683 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
In the off-season, the Giants brought in six-time pro-bowler Brandon Marshall to compliment Shepard and superstar Odell Beckham Jr. They finished at 11-5 and lost to the Green Bay Packers in the wild card round.
