Giants LB Olivier Vernon hurts ankle at practice; X-rays negative

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - On a day when rookie running back Saquon Barkley returned as a full participant to practice the New York Giants watched as outside linebacker Olivier Vernon was carted off the field with an ankle injury.

Vernon was hurt when he went inside a block and had his foot tangle with an offensive lineman. He left the field with his cleat off and sitting in the passenger seat of the cart. Vernon did not appear to be in serious pain and didn't think it was anything serious as he came off the field.
