Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard is not yet activated as he rehabs from a turf toe injury. There is a possibility, although not a strong one, he can return for Thursday’s game in Philadelphia.

“We’re a little bit closer than we were last week,’’ head coach Joe Judge said. “We’ll see, this could go up to a pregame workout, we’re not sure.’’

There is a roster spot available, as LB Lorenzo Carter, out for the season following surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon, was officially put on injured reserve.
