Bill Belichick does not scare easily.
He seemed a little spooked by Saquon Barkley.
“We haven’t faced him,” the head coach of the Patriots said on Monday. “And I hope we don’t.”
The Giants’ second-year running back is still rehabbing from a high ankle sprain suffered on Sept. 22. The Giants have offered no insight into his availability for Thursday’s game against the Patriots, but he did take some practice reps on Friday and worked out before the game against the Vikings on Sunday.
