Saquon Barkley Expected To Miss Three Weeks

Saquon Barkley Expected To Miss Three Weeks

one year ago

An MRI exam showed that New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) suffered an "ordinary" ankle sprain in the Week 2 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday that is expected to sideline him three weeks, according to a source. Fantasy managers won't have Barkley to kick off Week 3 action against the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, and he could also miss more games. The 26-year-old has had his run-ins with injuries so far in his career, but at least this one isn't of the season-ending variety. Fantasy managers will have to keep him stashed for now while trying to pick up Matt Breida for short-term depth, as he should see most of New York's backfield work until Barkley is able to return.
