EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — First-round draft pick Saquon Barkley ran on his own as the New York Giants returned to practice.
The former Penn State running back drafted No. 2 overall carried a ball and ran at roughly three-quarter speed Sunday as strength and conditioning coach Aaron Wellman watched.
Barkley strained a hamstring catching a pass out of the backfield at practice last Monday. He did not participate in the workouts held jointly in Allen Park, Michigan, between the Giants and Detroit Lions. He also did not play in Friday’s preseason game.
