Now with injury concerns aside, Shepard can focus on the much bigger picture of building on his rookie season. He underwent an MRI and has already been cleared to walk around freely in tennis shoes.
There were reports that Shepard was shedding tears as he was taken off the field, scaring his mother, Cheri. "That was the main thing that scared me", Shepard said. It was pretty incredible cause you guys (reporters) were two fields over and I had on a mirrored visor.
The second-year player was carted off the field Wednesday, stoking fears that he may have suffered a serious injury. "It was like a basketball roll; that's what they've been saying".
The injury occurred while Shepard was running a route during a non-contact drill. New York's impressive receiving trio of Odell Beckham Jr., Brandon Marshall and Shepard remains intact for now. He said he might tape his ankles for a while when he returns.

Andrew Benintendi had three hits, one RBI and two runs while Hanley Ramirez and Rafael Devers each had two RBI. This also prevents Sale from pitching against his former team, the Chicago White Sox .
Shepard is coming off a promising rookie season in which he ranked second among rookie receivers with 65 catches for 683 yards and eight touchdowns. However, the team would not provide a timetable on his eventual return.
"I'm happy it happened now and not closer to Week 1", Shepard said.
Shepard approached and left the podium without a boot and no exaggerated limp, but ankle sprains can be fickle and linger.
