Giants receiver Sterling Shepard knew he played with concussion in loss to Cowboys

EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. _ Sterling Shepard will be back on the field Sunday. That's the good news.

Now the scary. The Giants wide receiver said Friday he continued to play in the team's season-opening loss to the Cowboys despite being pretty sure he had suffered a concussion.

"They tried to send someone in for me. I just kind of waved him off," Shepard said when he talked to the media for the first time since suffering the injury. "It was ultimately my decision, I guess you say, and I just stayed in ... It took me a few plays, but yeah, I eventually started feeling OK."
