Sterling Shepard returned to the NFL’s concussion protocol on Monday and, per a source, he could be out for “a while.” This is the second concussion for Shepard in the first five weeks of the season. He suffered his first in Week 1 against Dallas.

Shepard was removed from Sunday’s game against the Vikings and evaluated for a concussion after a hit along the sideline on a deep pass in his direction.
