Virginia Giant Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Awesome, guess we'll run Barkley 9 times this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 Giants resign TJ Jones. Reports are Shepards concussion might be more than a one week type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sephiroth Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Hes out I'd heard that at Tuesday's practice he was on the sidelines pretty coherent, and was laughing and joking around with his teammates. EDIT: was hoping this meant it was not serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I'm not concerned, lets go through the process with Shepard since we just gave him a contract extension. Give other guys on the roster an opportunity to fill in and maybe find an answer for third down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point getting upset, concussions happen and with Tate gone till week 5, might as well just give the "boom or bust" players a chance. I'm actually not expecting much drop off, the Bills strength if their secondary, they should target Engram 20+ times this game and give Barkley a lot of work.

BlueInCanada Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 Well shit. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2853760-report-nfl-nflpa-investigating-possible-giants-concussion-protocol-violation The NFL and the NFL Players Association are reviewing concussion protocol procedures after New York Giants receiver Sterling Shepard suffered a concussion against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 but was permitted to finish the game, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Shepard has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. During the third quarter of Sunday's season opener, Shepard collided with Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown and fell to the ground. Though the 26-year-old wideout appeared to be shaken up, he was not removed from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Shepard out of concussion protocol yesterday. Expected to play for Jones's first start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 Slayton is expected to be ready to go for this game as well. WRs should be: Shepard Fowler Core Slayton TJ Jones Shepard (the cheap one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayD Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Fowler is out hurt. Smh that sucks. He is probably our best WR. Him and Jones seem to be on the same page as well, from what little we saw. Did they say how long he is out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they say how long he is out? I was hoping it wasnt the case but I believe a calf injury. Shepard is the best WR as of now, however Jones has the chemistry with guys like Fowler and Shepard (the cheap one). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
