A great deal of attention has been focused on the injury status of super-human runningback Saquon Barkley, as he defies all odds working his way back from a severe ankle injury in record time. Despite the incredible progress, Barkley has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Vikings. That said, injuries to the linebacker group may prove to be the undoing of the Giants in what is a highly anticipated matchup against a playoff-contending Vikings team.
The Giants lost rookie linebacker Ryan Connelly to a season-ending ACL tear during last week’s game against the Washington Redskins.
