If there was one position group that Big Blue could not afford to lose anyone at early in the season, it was the wide receiver group. As it turns out – of course- all four New York Giants that didn’t practice were pass-catchers, with three of them being wide-outs.
Sterling Shepard’s concussion is looming as the biggest threat to the Giants being competitive on Sunday, and fans didn’t get any good news today as he did not participate in Thursday’s practice. I highlighted yesterday what Shepard missing any time would mean for Big Blue, and as we inch closer to Sunday, it appears as though Shep’ playing will be a long-shot.
