We knew Saquon Barkley would likely be on a snap count Sunday against the Broncos.
However, we didn’t know what his status would be for the Giants‘ Week 2 matchup with the Washington Football Team. The fourth-year running back is coming off a September 2020 ACL tear and the brief turnaround between Week 1 and 2 (the latter game is this Thursday) could’ve forced the Giants to rest him.
That shouldn’t be the case though — Saquon should be ready to hit the game field this week.
“I would say unless the medical team tells us something else, our intentions will be to keep on progressing this guy throughout the season,” head coach Joe Judge told the media Monday.
