Odell Beckham Jr. Calls for Grass Fields After Shepard Injury

Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard was carted off the field during the Monday Night Football matchup against the Cowboys after he suffered a non-contact leg injury.

The severity of his injury is still unknown as he awaits further testing, but Giants coach Brian Daboll said the injury “didn’t look good” and could potentially be a season-ending injury, per Greg Johnson of The Trentonian.

Shepard’s former teammate Odell Beckham Jr. tweeted about the injury, specifically critiquing MetLife Stadium’s turf field. The current free agent thinks turf should be banned in the NFL because of the injuries he believes are by the surface.
