The New York Giants are gearing up for a challenging Thursday night matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, but they could be without some pivotal players. Saquon Barkley, the Giants’ star running back, sustained an ankle injury during the Week 2 triumph over the Arizona Cardinals.
Although he’s showing signs of recovery, the short four-day turnaround is not in his favor, making his playing status uncertain. Barkley may need to sit out at least a week before contemplating a full-game return.
Furthermore, left tackle Andrew Thomas is grappling with a hamstring issue. Head Coach Brian Daboll announced Thomas would be a game-time decision.
