Sterling Shepard caught a pass from Eli Manning in traffic, was hit from behind by rookie cornerback DeAndre Baker who tried to strip the ball from him, and was brought to the ground in a full-speed seven-on-seven goal line drill on Monday.
All while wearing a yellow jersey that is intended to prevent any of that from happening.
“There are times when people don’t do it exactly the way we want it,” Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said.
So what is the point of having Shepard out on the field with a fractured left thumb? Shurmur has said he wants the wide receiver to be able to work on his timing, work on his route-running, and work on some one-handed catches with his healthy right hand.
