New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley cleared to play in season opener, source says

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The wait is over for Saquon Barkley and the New York Giants.

Barkley was medically cleared and will be ready for the season opener Sunday against the Denver Broncos, a source told ESPN.

Barkley, who tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 2 last season, is officially listed as questionable.

Tight end Evan Engram (calf) is out Sunday.

The only way Barkley wouldn't be ready come game time would be if something unexpected happened between now and 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday.
