The New York Giants have lost Sterling Shepard to a torn Achilles.

Shepard suffered the injury during Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

The wide receiver was writhing in pain as he toppled to the ground without contact while running a route with under two minutes left in the game.

"It's definitely tough," Saquon Barkley said. "He just sparks this team. He's a leader of this team. Just the energy he brings every single day, on the field, off the field. So anytime you see a guy go down, it's just a sad thing. But one thing I know about Shep, he's a fighter. It's a setback, but I know he's going to attack this rehab. ... Just a little setback, and the comeback is going to be something special."
