EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- This Sunday will be Saquon Barkley's first game back at Soldier Field in Chicago, where he tore the ACL in his right knee just over 15 months ago. Not that he's trying to think about the moment that everything changed.
Closure returning to the spot that may have altered the trajectory of his career? Nope. Barkley's not looking at it that way either. He's trying, at all costs, not to contemplate the 'what ifs' of the situation anymore.
"I try not to think about it," Barkley said ahead of his struggling New York Giants facing the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
