New York was a bit limited in what they could do this week with five players already ruled out but they will add Shepard to the rotation to fill Adonai Mitchell's spot like last week and Keller will make his NFL debut as the fifth linebacker with Kiko Mauigoa out.

Hopefully the fact they didn’t elevate a tight end or edge bodes well for the availability of the two players who have been listed as questionable; Kenyon Sadiq and Kingsley Enagbare.
