Giants' Sterling Shepard: Limited Wednesday

Shepard (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Shepard also logged a trio of limited practices last week, so his activity Wednesday doesn't necessarily represent a step forward in the concussion protocol. On a more positive note, Shepard said Tuesday that he's free of concussion symptoms, per Tom Rock of Newsday. Since he's recovering from his second concussion of the season, Shepard will probably need to resume taking contact in practice by the end of the week in addition to receiving clearance from an independent neurologist before he can be expected to play Sunday against the Lions.
