New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard, out since suffering his second concussion of the season during a Week 5 game against the Minnesota Vikings, remained in the NFL’s concussion protocol on Wednesday.
Shepard did practice on Wednesday without a yellow non-contact jersey. Coach Pat Shurmur said Shepard is “making good progress” and “it’s just a matter of time” until he he cleared. The coach said that could “possibly” be in time for Monday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Despite missing four games with concussions, Shepard is second on the Giants with 25 receptions.
