Saquon Barkley (ankle) could suit up this Monday night for the first time since Week 5.
This current injury hasn’t required the overly lengthy recovery timetable his 2020 ACL tear did. But regardless, it hasn’t been an easy road back to the gridiron, and it’s actually been one that’s encompassed multiple issues.
Not only did Barkley need to rehab from this specific injury, but the fourth-year running back also experienced a brief stint in the COVID protocol due to a recent false-positive test.
It’s always possible to lose a competitive mindset when away from the game for a period of time.
