In the midst of the New York Giants‘ Week 3 win over the Tampa Bay Buccanneers, Saquon Barkley exited prior to halftime. He didn’t return and eventually was diagnosed with a high ankle sprain. It was initially believed the star running back would be out for between four and eight weeks. Keyword: “believed.”
People must’ve forgotten this is Saquon Barkley. On Wednesday, Barkley was seen running, jumping, and cutting at practice. This, in a helmet but not additional padding. Reports came out the same day that Barkley was eyeing a Week 6 return to the field, and teammates are expressing their excitement over it.
