If the New York Giants fall to the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, they will be sitting at 2-6 with no hope in sight. This could spell the end for Sterling Shepard’s shortlived season, as he’s only participated in four of seven games so far and will most likely miss week eight.
Shepard suffered two concussions in a three-week span that forced him out for multiple games, and at this point, it comes down to his future health and brain function. With CTE and neuropsychology becoming a more prevalent part of the NFL, managing Shepard’s brain injury becomes a bit more tricky.
