Shields recorded six tackles (all solo) and intercepted his first pass of the season in Monday's victory over the Chiefs.
Shields has picked up the pace in the tackle department this season, making 15 stops through three games. That's nearly half way to last year's total of 40 tackles and puts him well on his way to topping the career-best 61 tackles he tallied during the 2013 campaign.

Shields tallied seven tackles (six solo) and deflected a pass in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Shields made more tackles Sunday than he did in any game last season, but that was partly due to the struggles he experienced in coverage. As the Packers' top corner, the team will be counting on him to improve in that area moving forward.

Shields recorded 40 tackles (33 solo) and two interceptions over 14 games during the 2014 season.
Shields did not do as much in 2014 as he did the year before, but opposing offenses did not throw in his direction as often as they did previously. He earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2014 and will head into next season as the Packers' top cornerback.

Shields (concussion) had two tackles (zero solo) in Monday's victory over the Falcons.
Shields suited up after sitting out practice all week due to a concussion, but he was largely ineffective covering Julio Jones, and was ultimately benched in the fourth quarter. He figures to practice this week, which should help his chances of improving his play in the Packers' next game Sunday against the Bills.
Mon Dec 8 201419:11Shields (concussion) will suit up Monday against Falcons
Shields (concussion) will suit up Monday against the Falcons.
Shields did not practice all week and needed to be cleared to play Monday, but it appears he was given the green light to suit up, as he was not listed among the Packers' inactives. Expect to see him often across from the Falcons' top receiver, Julio Jones.

Shields (concussion) is questionable for Monday's game against Atlanta.
Shields didn't practice all week, but there's a chance for him to gain clearance prior to Monday's game. With just 30 tackles on the year, he likely isn't an IDP consideration, anyway.
Thu Dec 4 201414:27Shields (concussion) didn't practice Thursday
Shields (concussion) didn't practice Thursday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
There's been no sign that Shields has cleared the league's concussion protocol, placing the Packers one step closer to trotting out Davon House opposite fellow cornerback Tramon Williams in Week 14.

Shields was forced out of Sunday's game against the Patriots with a concussion.
Prior to his exit, Shields -- who entered the contest with 29 tackles and two picks in nine games -- had recorded just one tackle Sunday.

Shields left Sunday's game in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion.
Shields will have to pass the league's standard tests in order to return, and if he is diagnosed with a concussion, he would miss the rest of the contest. Davon House will replace Shields in most packages if he's unable to return, representing a matchup opposing quarterback Tom Brady will look to exploit.

Shields tallied six tackles (all solo) and deflected a pass in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
Shields returned to action Sunday after missing the previous two games with a knee injury. His six tackles represented a season high, but he just missed a big fantasy day by dropping an interception that he may have been able to return for a touchdown.

Shields (knee) is listed as probable for Sunday night's game against the Bears, Packers.com reports.
Shields will play for the first time since suffering his knee injury Oct. 12 against Miami. His return is a major boost to the Packers' secondary (he picked off Jay Cutler in the teams' first meeting this season), but Shields doesn't post a lot of tackles, so he's a boom-or-bust IDP relying almost solely on interceptions.
Wed Nov 5 201418:28Shields (knee) practiced in full Wednesday
Shields (knee) practiced in full Wednesday, Paul Imig of FOX Sports Wisconsin reports.
With two DNPs and the bye week behind him, Shields' knee injury is a thing of the past. He'll line up opposite Tramon Williams, as usual, Sunday against the Bears, but outside of two interceptions, Shields has supplied just 14 tackles (12 solo) and six passes defended for IDP owners.
Sun Oct 26 201419:09Shields (knee) inactive for Sunday night's game against Saints
Shields (knee) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Saints.
Shields was considered doubtful prior to being confirmed as inactive Sunday, so his absence doesn't come as a surprise. After missing last weekend's game as well, Shields will use Sunday night and the Packers' ensuing bye week to rest his knee. If all goes well, Shields may be available Nov. 9 versus the Bears.

Shields (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night's game against New Orleans, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
With a bye on the horizon, Shields will likely miss this game and use the week off to continue to recover, with the hope of being ready to return to action Nov. 9 against Chicago.
Wed Oct 22 201414:21Shields (knee) didn't take part in practice Wednesday
Shields (knee) didn't take part in practice Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Until Shields takes the practice field, his return to action is up in the air. Prior to suffering a knee injury in the second half, he had tallied 14 tackles (12 solo), six passes defended, and two picks in five-plus games, making him a viable IDP, when healthy.
Fri Oct 17 201412:48As expected
As expected, Shields (knee) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against Carolina, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tyler Dunne reports.
Tramon Williams (ankle) is considered a game-time decision, so the Packers could potentially be without their top two cornerbacks against Cam Newton and the Panthers. Reserve cornerbacks Davon House and Casey Hayward will see a lot more action than usual.
Fri Oct 17 201411:07Shields (knee) "probably" will sit out Sunday's game against Pan...
Shields (knee) "probably" will sit out Sunday's game against the Panthers, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Shields' status for Sunday has not been officially determined, but it appears he will miss at least one game as a result of the knee injury he suffered in Week 6.
Wed Oct 15 201421:36Shields (knee) didn't partake in practice Wednesday
Shields (knee) didn't partake in practice Wednesday, Paul Imig of FOX Sports Wisconsin reports. Speaking of his injured cornerbacks, coach Mike McCarthy said, "Sam Shields, Tramon Williams...we'll give them every opportunity to get ready. Tramon is closer than Sam."
Thus, owners should keep a close eye on the corner as the week draws to an end. Shields may come down to a game-time decision, but with 14 tackles (12 solo), six passes defended, and two interceptions through six contests, his relevance as an IDP isn't up to the par set by Williams (32 tackles, six passes defended, and one pick) this season.
Tue Oct 14 201415:43The knee injury Shields suffered in Sunday's game not believed t...
The knee injury Shields suffered in Sunday's game is not believed to be serious, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The full extent of Shields' injury is uncertain, and he could miss this week's game against the Panthers, but head coach Mike McCarthy said he isn't concerned about Shields missing an extended period of time. Shields' participation, or lack thereof, during practice this week will likely determine whether or not he suits up for Week 7.
Sun Oct 12 201415:33Shields suffered knee injury during Sunday's game against Dolphi...
Shields suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Dolphins and is considered questionable to return.
Shields' injury is a bit curious, as the cornerback went down while trotting out to his pre-snap position late in the third quarter Sunday. Prior to being injured, the Florida native Shields intercepted his second pass of this season. However, with his status going forward unknown, Davon House should fill-in at one of the Packers' outside cornerback positions.
