Giants Optimistic Saquon Barkley Dodged High-Ankle Sprain

one year ago

X-rays on New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley's (ankle) ankle returned negative following Sunday's 31-28 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 26-year-old is scheduled for an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the damage, but the Giants are optimistic he didn't suffer a high-ankle sprain. Even if Monday's MRI reveals a setback of the low-grade variety, Barkley faces a short turnaround with a road date against the San Francisco 49ers looming on Thursday. Fantasy managers will have to keep their fingers crossed that the two-time Pro Bowler is only dealing with a short absence, considering Barkley's visible frustration following the injury amidst the G-Men's historic comeback. Matt Breida would be in line to lead a committee for any time Barkley potentially needs to miss. Stay tuned.
