Sterling Shepard likely missing next Giants game amid concussion battle
Not yet. But soon.
Sterling Shepard is not expected to be taken out of the concussion protocol this week and thus will not return to play wide receiver for the Giants in time for Sunday’s game at Detroit, The Post has learned. But if he continues on the path he is on, Shepard will likely be cleared in time for the Nov. 4 “Monday Night Football” game against the Cowboys at MetLife Stadium.
In Week 5, Shepard suffered his second concussion in four games when he took a hit against the Vikings and reported not feeling well the next day. At the time, a source said Shepard would be out “a while,” based on the frequency and proximity of the two concussions.
This time frame constitutes “a while.’’
