FOXBORO, Mass. -- New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley is expected to participate more in drills during this week's joint practice with the New England Patriots as he continues to impress with his physical progression off a torn ACL in his right knee.
But first, Barkley will not be at Wednesday's joint practice as he attends to a personal matter, sources told ESPN. He will rejoin the team Thursday where the plan is to get him going potentially in live drills, perhaps with some slight limitations.
At this point, it's another positive step in his comeback.
