Sterling Shepard Signs With Jets Practice Squad After Quick Call

Sterling Shepard was picking his kids up in Florida when the Jets called needing a wide receiver after Omar Cooper Jr. suffered a sprained ankle. Shepard worked out Tuesday and signed to the practice squad. The former Giant is getting up to speed on the playbook and trying to get his body back in pads shape after spending time working out alone and a brief stint with the Texans. He has previous chemistry with Jets quarterback Geno Smith from their time together with New York.
