   Shepard reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

   Shepard was on the field for 17 of the Jets' 32 offensive snaps as the team finished with a time possession of 17:15, and he failed to haul in his lone target from Geno Smith. It was the second time this season that the veteran wide receiver was promoted from the practice squad, and he's eligible for one more elevation before the Jets would be required to sign him to the active roster. Shepard could be brought up for Week 5 against the Browns on Oct. 11 if Adonai Mitchell (finger) is not cleared to play.

   The Jets elevated Shepard from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

   Shepard is set to suit up on game day for the second straight week. Last Sunday in Detroit, the veteran wideout logged a healthy workload of 30 offensive snaps — third-most among New York wideouts — and caught his only target for three yards. Shepard could also garner a significant role this Sunday due to Adonai Mitchell again being ruled out due to a finger injury.

   Shepard reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

   In his first action of the season, Shepard played 30 of 66 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Lions, turning his only target into a three-yard reception. With Adonai Mitchell (finger) battling an injury, Shepard could again be elevated ahead of next Sunday's game against the Bears. He has no fantasy appeal.

   The Jets elevated Shepard from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

   Shepard is set to suit up as the No. 6 wide receiver for the Jets in Sunday's game against the Lions. The new practice squad face was elevated for a scenario where Adonai Mitchell (finger) is unable to play in Sunday's contest. If Mitchell receives the green light, Shepard may spend his first elevation with the team inactive.

   The Jets signed Shepard to the practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

   Shepard failed to make the Texans' 53-man roster at the end of training camp after signing with the team Aug. 21. He'll get a fresh opportunity with the Jets, and he's a candidate to be elevated to the active roster for Week 2 against the Jets if rookie first-rounder Omar Cooper (ankle) is unable to play. Shepard appeared in 13 regular-season games for the Buccaneers in 2025, finishing with a 39-371-1 receiving line on 53 targets while adding four carries for 19 yards.
