Saquon Barkley declared himself ready to go for the Giants' season-opener Sunday against the Jaguars.
The ballyhooed No. 2 overall draft pick's first NFL preseason amounted to four carries for 43 yards, including a 39-yarder on his first touch in Week 1 against the Browns.
Barkley suffered a hamstring strain Aug. 13 and was held out of the final three preseason games, returning to practice on a limited based Aug. 22 before upping his involvement last week.
"I definitely think I'm ready for a full workload," Barkley said, "(because of) the way I've been preparing, the way I've been practicing.
