Misses practice due to toe injury Shepherd didn't participate in practice Sunday due to a toe issue, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.

Impact The exact nature and severity of Shepherd's injury are unclear, and it remains to be seen how long he'll be sidelined. The defensive tackle has been a very reliable presence in recent campaigns, playing in all 17 contests each of the past three regular seasons. Shepherd is slated to again be a prominent part of the Saints' defensive interior in the second year of a three-year contract he signed in March of 2023.

Improves production again in 2023 Shepherd appeared in all 17 games during the 2023 regular season, logging 50 tackles and three sacks.

Impact Shepherd set a new career high in tackles for the fourth season in a row while also accumulating three sacks for the first time in his career. The 30-year-old played in more of a rotational role over his first five seasons with the Jets, but he led the Saints' defensive tackles with 562 defensive snaps played this season. Shepherd signed a three-year, $15 million contract with New Orleans in March, and he should retain a prominent role alongside fellow interior defensive linemen Khalen Saunders and 2023 first-round pick Bryan Bresee in 2024.
