Sterling Shepard will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday when the Giants face the Cardinals at MetLife Stadium.
Shepard remains in the concussion protocol and, even though he is feeling better and participated a great deal in practice this week – wearing a yellow non-contact jersey, the Giants will be cautious with their top wide receiver, The Post has learned.
Shepard experienced his first concussion of the season in the opening-day loss to the Cowboys and missed the next game, a loss to the Bills. Getting hit with a second concussion so close after the first one is an alarming sign and the Giants were not going to put Shepard back into a game until a certain period of time goes by.
