Sterling Shepard 'not worried' about concussions, eager to play
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It was less than a week after Sterling Shepard reported concussion symptoms to the New York Giants' medical staff the day after a game for the second time this season and found himself in the league's protocol. Already, he confided in those close to him that he felt fine and wanted to return to play.
If only it were that easy.
Shepard remained in the league's concussion protocol and practiced wearing a non-contact jersey last week in the lead-up to the Giants' game with the Arizona Cardinals. If he had his druthers, he probably would have played Sunday. Perhaps it's a good thing he doesn't.
