Since he tore the ACL in his right knee last September, Saquon Barkley has served the Giants in roles as varied as cheerleader, motivational speaker, classroom instructor and conditioning participant. On Monday, he will return to the job that suits him best: football player.

Barkley will be removed from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list on Monday and become eligible to participate in the team’s afternoon practice, a source confirmed to Newsday.
