The Giants are hoping their top running back will be healthy enough to play in their next game.
They think Saquon Barkley has a chance to play in that game, too.
OK, so that’s a little bit of a joke. Barkley, who has missed the past four games with an ankle injury, is still the team’s starter and one of the centerpieces of the offense who it very much wants and needs to return to the field. He’ll be evaluated in the team’s bye week workouts over the coming days after spending time away from the building during the Giants’ COVID-19 testing troubles last week and the plan is to have him and his dynamic playmaking back in the fold when they face the Bucs on Nov.
