The New York Giants had no answers for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Nothing was working and New York took an embarrassing loss to their divisional rival. However, it appears this franchise has lost more than just the game, as Sterling Shepard's injury update brings bad news.

According to Dan Salomone, Sterling Shepard has officially torn his Achilles. This is one of the most brutal sports injuries an athlete can suffer from, as not many players have bounced back from it. Considering how late it is in the 2021 season, the Giants are likely to now have Shepard in the lineup next year.

This is the same injury that sidelined Cam Akers in the offseason. We'll see how Shepard recovers, but this is a serious injury the Giants must approach carefully. It's a shame this has happened to Sterling Shepard, as he's been the most consistent receiver in New York the last couple of years. Now, the team must move forward without him.

The Giants have been battling injuries all season long. Saquon Barkley has struggled to stay healthy the last two years, while Kadarius Toney has dealt with issues of his own. It's been a brutal season for New York as they inch closer to being eliminated.

Hopefully, Sterling Shepard can make a quick and safe recovery. This is a detrimental injury for him to suffer from, as receivers must be able to cut quickly and sharply. A torn Achilles creates a murky outlook for his career. For now, the Giants will do what's necessary and help Shepard recover from this setback.
