Sterling Shepard’s return from his second concussion of the season will take a little longer than expected.

The Giants announced on Sunday that the wide receiver will re-enter the concussion protocol and will not play against the Cowboys on Monday night after he complained of symptoms following Saturday’s full participation in practice.

Shepard had been cleared by an independent neurologist on Friday afternoon and was expected to play on Monday after missing three games.
