New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll announced today that veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been lost for the season after suffering a torn ACL in the closing seconds of last night’s game.
“tremendous person,” Daboll said of Shepard. “I feel terrible for him.”
Shepard collapsed on the final play of Monday night’s loss to the Dallas Cowboys. His left knee apparently gave out on him as he was jogging following the game-ending interception. He quickly grabbed the leg in pain and needed to be carted off the field.
“It’s definitely a gut-punch,” said running back Saquon Barkley said of Shepard’s injury after the game.
