The Giants managed to stabilize their season Sunday in Arizona. And Saquon Barkley reinforced his status as the organization’s most-polarizing member.
The star running back had a good day — 63 rush yards, 29 receiving yards, two touchdowns — in Big Blue’s come-from-behind 31-28 win over the Cardinals. But he was injured in the waning moments. X-rays were negative and the Giants believe it is just a normal ankle sprain, rather than one of the dreaded high ankle variety.
But still: The MRI has yet to be done. A regular sprain is no walk in the park.
