New York Giants: Why Sterling Shepard shouldn’t play another down this season

My feelings on Sterling Shepard’s toughness have been well documented, as I’ve praised the now veteran receiver for always looking to play through pain; my opinion on Shepard shutting it down for the rest of the 2019 season seems to have finally been adapted by the New York Giants – and the media – now that Shepard exhibited more symptoms from his second concussion, after it appeared he was finally out of the woods.

As soon as Shep’ suffered that second concussion in such a short span – after doctor’s stunningly missed his first concussion and allowed him to finish out the Week One Dallas game – I thought the right move was to shut him down for the remainder of the year.
