What the New York Giants should do with Sterling Shepard this season

The bye week in the NFL is meant to help teams recover from the fatigue and physical toll the regular season takes on players. The New York Giants used it appropriately, and wide receiver Sterling Shepard is getting closer to return from a second concussion, picked up in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings several weeks ago.

Both Shepherd and cornerback Janoris Jenkins returned to practice on Monday morning, both suffering from concussion symptoms. Jenkins picked up his ailment last week against the New York Jets.

“They’re still going through it, so we’ll see what the week brings,” Pat Shurmur said after practice.
