Saquon Barkley hasn’t looked himself as of late. The sensational New York Giants running back gained just one rushing yard on 13 carries in the loss to the New York Jets this past Sunday. It brings up the idea that maybe Barkley is still banged up from the previous high ankle sprain that sidelined him for three weeks.
Thus, a discussion has arisen about the possibility of shutting Barkley down for the rest of the season. If he doesn’t seem himself, then why even risk further injury at a record of 2-8?
