New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard returned to practice on Monday after missing time due to a concussion, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.

Shepard has been sidelined since Week 5.

He was supposed to return for the Giants' Monday night matchup with the Dallas Cowboys back in Week 9, but during the weekend leading up to the game, Shepard experienced more symptoms and was placed back in concussion protocol.

Shepard has suffered a pair of concussions this season, the first of which came in the season opener.

In the four games he has played his year, Shepard has logged 25 catches for 267 yards and a touchdown.

The 26-year-old, who played his collegiate football at the University of Oklahoma, was originally selected by New York in the second round (40th pick overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.

He played in all 16 games during his rookie campaign and was impressive, catching 65 passes for 683 yards and eight touchdowns. The following season, injuries limited Shepard to 11 contests, and during the time he was on the field, he snared 59 balls for 731 yards and a couple of scores.

Shepard then once again appeared in all 16 contests last year, hauling in 66 receptions for 872 yards while reaching the end zone four times. As a result of his performance, the Giants signed him to a four-year contract extension this past offseason.

While Shepard is practicing again, it remains to be seen if he will play another game at any point in 2019.

New York is just 2-8 and will take on the Chicago Bears next Sunday.
