SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley said Thursday he does indeed have a high ankle sprain.
Barkley, who revealed the injury in an interview with Amazon, was hurt in Sunday's 31-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. It was initially believed to be an ordinary sprain, but Barkley clarified the injury before Thursday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers, saying it was a high ankle sprain while adding it was not as severe as it could have been.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter this week that Barkley was expected to miss three weeks.
