Buccaneers Place Russell Shepard on Injured Reserve

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed wide receiver Russell Shepard on injured reserve. Shepard injured his foot in Sunday's game after failing to properly execute a handoff on a reverse on a kickoff return, which led to a fumble and a touchdown for the San Francisco 49ers that effectively sealed the game as a loss.
Shepard should be more remembered for his outstanding play on special teams this year, though, having taken a whopping 60% of special teams snaps this year. He's displayed outstanding strength and speed on coverage teams, which may translate to a bigger role on offense once he returns from his foot injury next year.

NFL is a meatgrinder, and the NFL could care less. Want proof? The NFL just reached a $765 million settlement with 18,000 retired players suffering from concussion related injuries. That comes out to a meager $42,500 per injured player. But that doesn't tell the whole story. An article published by NBC Investigations reports that for many of the more severely injured players it is the wives who left to care for their crippled husbands. Even as the family faces financial ruin from the enormous cost of caring for their injured husbands.
So to you young collegiate football players thinking about pursing an NFL career as you abandon YOUR oppertunity to get a degree, ask the wives [and the injured players themselves] what they think of the NFL.

people forget how much LSU uses Wr's on special teams which ultimately may give those low/undrafted guys a chance to make an NFL roster.

What does this have to do with Russell Shepard's ankle? We get concussions in our ankles now?

I suggest you ask a crippled former NFL player, or maybe his wife and son.

WTF are you talking about, this is the most random out of place post ever.
You mad?

Can we all just agree that Shep is due and move on?

Not to be douche but there are millions of retirees in this country that deal with the physical consequences of decades of blue-collar work. The only thing that sets NFL players apart from them is their predisposition to head injuries and the lingering long-term effects of those injuries. Excuse me for not feeling sorry for some guys that made millions in a very short period of time but have achy knees and ankles.
