Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields is being evaluated for a concussion. Nothing has been confirmed, but Shields missed four weeks after suffering a concussion in 2015.
That could be bad news for the Packers.
If Shields is diagnosed with a concussion, this will be his fourth. Has not been determined yet. https://t.co/bsAnMo8QLs

Concussions typically become more severe the more they occur. Thus, if Shields missed four games with a concussion in 2015 and he has another one, the Packers could be without their No. 1 corner for some time.
Shields had three tackles on Sunday
