​The sad saga of Sam Shields continues on.





After a solid performance during Week 1 against one of the most talented wide receivers in the league in Allen Robinson, Packers cornerback Sam Shields has not yet been able to see the field again as he deals with yet another concussion.





Even with missing the past three weeks, his status for Week 5 is still highly questionable, especially after missing practice again on Monday, despite reported improvements.

MM: Sam Shields is improving. I know the break was good for him. He was able to go home. He won't be able to practice today #Packers — Wes Hodkiewicz (@WesHod) October 3, 2016

​​This is Shield's fifth concussion in just six seasons so far in the NFL, including the vicious one last season that sidelined him for the remainder of the regular season.





Five concussions in only six seasons is an extremely alarming number, but even worse, it seems that his concussions are coming on softer and softer hits.





Most importantly, his long term health should be the No. 1 priority.
