Giants star Saquon Barkley carted off with injury

Giants star running back Saquon Barkley was carted to the locker room in the second quarter after appearing to hurt his right knee Sunday at Soldier Field.

Barkley, whom Bears defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano compared to legend Earl Campbell this week, was injured when safety Eddie Jackson tackled him along the Bears sideline on the first play of the second quarter.

Barkley had appeared to hurt his wrist late after a run late in the first quarter, but returned to the game without being examined by Giants doctors.

The second pick of the 2018 draft, Barkley is the centerpiece of the Giants offense.
