Good to go for Week 7
Shepherd (groin) was limited during Wednesday's walkthrough but does not carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against Denver.
ANALYSIS
Shepherd has been listed as a limited participant all week after picking up a groin injury during Sunday's loss to the Bucs, but the 2018 third-round pick will suit up Thursday. Shepherd has logged 17 tackles (nine solo) through the first six games of the regular season.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Saints brought in Shepherd to help replace their significant losses on the defensive interior. The 2018 third-round pick's production and playing time steadily improved over the past five years with the Jets, accumulating a career-high 33 tackles in 2018. Shepherd now has an opportunity to carve out an even larger role in New Orleans alongside Khalen Saunders, Bryan Bresee and Malcolm Roach.
