Giants’ WR Sterling Shepard, added to team’s injury report Saturday with illness, is unlikely to play vs Chiefs, per source. But team wants to first test him in pre-game warmups before making any determination.


Just tweeted this out now.

No reason to play him and risk next season. Sit out, heal up, this season is fucked.

How much talent this team has, at the end of the year some guy like Munson is star at middle linebacker.

Only this year you can add " and without their top 4 wide receivers.

They should then forfeit which would keep all from being injured and keep me from having to root for a losing team.

I should add, though, unless to achieve performance bonuses and/or etc
This team was on a path to lose  
Doomster : 11/19/2017 8:14 am : link
right from the opening game, because it did not have an offense to compensate for the loss of OBj.....it's not like they did not have enough time to game plan for life without OBj....we heard about all the new weapons......Ellison, Engram, Marshall, SS was going to the next level, we finally had a FB, and even though nothing was added to the starting lineup of the OL, we bought into Solari's "another year together" rhetoric.....

This team saw the writing on the wall from the get go, and it just took longer for the malaise to set in when Mac had no offensive plan....
Not good  
Sammo85 : 11/19/2017 8:48 am : link
Will allow the Chiefs to focus and work to take away Engram.

Eli may be in for a rough day. Especially with the wind too. Lots of dink and dunk action.
Great

The hits just keep coming. I wanted to see him matched against Peters.

It's not like Giants are short at WR...lol  
averagejoe : 11/19/2017 10:35 am : link
Get Sterling a hot water bottle and make sure he is comfortable. Yes - in a season like this all the players will be looking for any excuse to not play. The next coach should take a good look at the players that 'miss' games with lame excuses.
The kid never plays. I’m selfish because I have him in FF,  
RDJR : 11/19/2017 10:47 am : link
but injuries are a cancer. How sick is he? If you have a fever or don’t feel well suck it up and suit up.
Migraines are pretty rough  
joeinpa : 11/19/2017 10:48 am : link
If that is what s going on , this is legit and has no alterier motive.

Anyone who's has ever had a migraine knows it s legit
agreed  
DavidinBMNY : 11/19/2017 10:50 am : link
migraines are very debilitating.
Agree on migraines. Not sure if that is confirmed, but if that  
RDJR : 11/19/2017 10:52 am : link
is the case I get it.
Yes agree that migraines are difficult to deal with but

A migraine isn't just a simple headache you dope.

Those questioning him almost certainly have never experienced actual migraines.

They aren't "just headaches."
Any chance he did something to get him in trouble  
Bleedblue10 : 11/19/2017 12:47 pm : link
Like DRC and Jackrabbit but they don’t wanna put that out there so they list him with an “illness”? I know it would be totally out of character for him but wouldn’t surprise me this season

Lying on the injury report is against league rules. Apart from that, there's no good reason for the team to hide the reason a player wasn't able to play.
