Giants' Sterling Shepard Out vs. Bills with Concussion

Giants wider receiver Sterling Shepard has been ruled out for Sunday's home opener against the Bills with a concussion, the team announced Friday. Wideout Cody Latimer also is questionable with a calf injury.

Shepard went down in the first quarter of New York's Week 1 trip to Dallas after making a block. The Giants left him in the game and coach Pat Shurmur said after the 35–17 loss that he "didn't know" if Shepard had sustained a concussion on the play.

The 26-year-old receiver made six receptions for 42 yards against the Cowboys, good for third on the team behind Latimer and tight end Evan Engram.
