November 27, 2008 There is belief Lito Sheppard didn't start tonight's game at cornerback in place of the injured Asante Samuel (neck stinger) because he missed a team meeting or was late for one during the week, according to Scout.com.
Our View:Joselio Hanson ended up starting tonight in his place.
November 7, 2008 Lito Sheppard practiced for the first time Friday since leaving last week's game with a groin injury, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. He said, "I feel well, swell. Today was a good indication that I was able to do what's necessary. I think I'll be fine."
Our View:He is expected to serve as the Eagles' No. 3 cornerback this weekend against the Giants. He will solidify the depth of the secondary, but holds no fantasy value in IDP leagues.
November 6, 2008 Lito Sheppard missed Wednesday's practice while nursing a groin injury, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. He stated there is a chance he will practice Thursday.
Our View:He is hopeful to be ready for Sunday's NFC East showdown with the Giants. He holds little to no fantasy value as the Eagles' No. 3 cornerback.
November 2, 2008 Lito Sheppard was forced out of Sunday's game against Seattle due to an apparent groin injury.
Our View:The team is yet to update his status. He holds little to no fantasy value, but is the best No. 3 cornerback in the NFL.
October 12, 2008 Cornerback Lito Sheppard strained his hamstring during the third quarter of the Week 6 win over the 49ers, the Philadelphia Inquirer notes. He did not return.
Our View:Sheppard is the third cornerback, but he is a valuable piece of the defense. We didn't figure that the Eagles would try to trade him before Tuesday's deadline, and this injury could cut off any talks.
