Giants Rumors: Saquon Barkley 'Eager' to Return from Injury; NYG 'Cautious About' RB

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is reportedly "eager" to get back on the field after suffering a season-ending ACL tear in 2020.

Appearing Sunday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler said Barkley has "made a lot of progress" and is "moving very well" ahead of training camp.
