New York Giants: What should we expect Saquon Barkley’s workload to look like come Week 1?

Come the New York Giants’ 2021 season opener against the Denver Broncos on September 12, the expectation is that star running back Saquon Barkley will be nearly 100% healthy.

Barkley has been working diligently to rehabilitate a torn ACL, MCL, and partially torn meniscus from a Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears last year. Barkley missed the majority of the 2020 season with the injury, but he’s looking to make a heroic comeback, similar to his idol, Adrian Peterson.

The impact that Saquon has on the game is unparalleled, but he has struggled to remain healthy the past two seasons, playing a total of 15 games during that time span.
