The New York Giants are "optimistic" and "hopeful" that running back Saquon Barkley will play Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills after missing the past three games due to a sprained ankle, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The team's coaches want to make sure Barkley has no setbacks before the game, but they "feel good about" him being available against the Bills, sources said.
Barkley injured his ankle during the Giants' Week 2 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Sources told ESPN at the time of the injury that the two-time Pro Bowler was expected to miss three weeks.
