After New York Giants’ all-world runningback Saquon Barkley went down with a nasty ankle injury against the Tampa Bay Bucs in week three, you would have been liable to be thrown into the loony bin if you pontificated that he’d be back in just ten days time. However, that’s the exact scenario we were dealing with as recently as 24-hours ago, as the supernatural Barkley supposedly had a real chance to suit up this week against Minnesota.
Count me in as one of those people who was absolutely floored to see Saquon looking like this, only about a week after suffering a high-ankle sprain:
Most people- even athletes- would still be sitting on their couches with their ankle elevated and wrapped in heavy ice so soon after suffering a nasty sprain — Saquon is not most people.
