EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard was placed in the concussion protocol and will miss Thursday night's game against the New England Patriots, according to a source.
The source added that given Shepard's recent history he could be out a while.
Shepard reported symptoms to the Giants medical staff on Monday morning. He was checked for a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's 28-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but cleared and returned to the game.
The Giants are also likely to be without running back Wayne Gallman (concussion) on Thursday night.
