Sterling Shepard’s concussion could lead to a change in NFL policy.
The NFL and NFLPA have initiated a review of concussion protocols after the Giants’ receiver suffered a concussion last Sunday, yet was allowed to stay in and finish the Giants game at Dallas, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Saturday, citing league sources.
There was a breach in the protocol and now the league and union are trying to figure out how and why, according to the report.
The report stated the controversial play occurred in the third quarter, when Shepard ran into cornerback Anthony Brown and fell backward to the ground.
