Every New York Giants fan this offseason is hoping the team will get Saquon Barkley back for week one.
Barkley’s absence was a notable part of the Giants’ struggles last year, and the Giants have focused on the wide receiver position this offseason with the assumption that they’ll have a healthy Barkley. After all, a good passing game is only worth so much if you can’t threaten with the run.
However, there’s no guarantee that Barkley will be there for the start of the season. This isn’t a cynical take that assumes the worst, but one based on the words of Giants co-owner and treasurer Jonathan Tisch.
