Giants vs. Broncos: 5 Giants storylines to watch this week

The New York Giants open the season Sunday vs. the Denver Broncos. Here are five storylines to follow as the week unfolds.

Saquon’s status

Will he play or won’t he?

That is the question that matters when it comes to Giants’ star running back Saquon Barkley. Coach Joe Judge has said he wants to see how Barkley comes out of Wednesday’s fully-padded practice before making a decision on Barkley, who has not played in a game since suffering a major knee injury in Week 2 of last season.

Other injured guys

This is a list that includes wide receivers Kadarius Toney and Kenny Golladay, tight ends Evan Engram, Kaden Smith and Kyle Rudolph, cornerback Adoree’ Jackson and offensive guard Shane Lemiuex.
