The Giants are not exactly in great shape with another game coming sooner rather than later.

Receiver Sterling Shepard was not on the field for Tuesday’s light practice, and it appears he has little chance to play Thursday night against the Redskins. Shepard did not play in the 12-9 victory over the Chiefs because of a migraine, and he is not feeling any better.

“Sterling is not feeling well,’’ Ben McAdoo said. “We kept him in the training room and they’re taking a look at him. They’re looking at all the possibilities.’’

Calvin Munson, dealing with a quad injury, started at middle linebacker against the Chiefs and played 69 of the 75 defensive snaps. He was on the side during practice, doing some light jogging. Right tackle Justin Pugh worked with trainers on the side; he remains out with a back issue.

In addition to preparing to face the Giants, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Tuesday was all about trying to figure out if he had enough healthy players. Like the Giants, the Redskins are banged up and coming off an overtime game. Unlike the Giants, who staged a fourth-quarter comeback to beat the Chiefs, the Redskins blew a late lead in a 34-31 overtime loss to the Saints.

“Yeah, it’s quite the challenge,’’ Gruden said. “We just had our first walk-through here and trying to figure out who’s playing and who’s not playing and getting the guys who are playing ready to go.

“We’re only going to do walk-throughs this week. We’re pretty dinged up and we don’t have really enough guys to get 11-on-11 right now. Maybe I’ll do a little bit of running [Wednesday]. I’ll wait to see how we are.’’

By gametime, Gruden said, he will be excited to play Thanksgiving night. Until then, though, it is all about counting up the healthy bodies.

“Our heads are spinning right now,’’ Gruden said. “We’re trying to get ready to play a football game, we’re trying to find out who the healthy bodies are, make sure we’ve got 46 guys to strap it up and the 46 guys that are going to strap it up, we’ve got to get them ready to go.’’

Eli Manning, predictably, downplayed his emotional peptalk to his teammates before the game with the Chiefs, a talk described as “fiery’’ by running back Orleans Darkwa.

“Coach asked me to talk before the game, and I can’t tell you what I said,’’ Manning said. “So I don’t think a pregame talk has ever won a football game before. So if he asks me to do it again, I will, but he usually switches that up.’’

UCLA product Paul Perkins did not look happy as he walked into a special teams meeting. He was wearing a gray USC T-shirt, his penance for losing a bet with TE Rhett Ellison on the USC-UCLA game.
