Since Sept. 20, Sundays have been the absolute worst for Saquon Barkley.
That’s the date Barkley, the New York Giants’ 23-year-old star running back, suffered a season-ending ACL tear to his right knee, only two weeks into the season.
And while that injury occurred nearly three months ago, Barkley still has not gotten used to sitting at home, watching games on television.
He remains emotionally invested. Those who watch Giants games with him have come to notice, given the way Barkley has taken to cheering his replacements, Wayne Gallman and Alfred Morris, whenever they do something positive.
