Despite the return of Saquon Barkley to practice this week for the New York Giants, his injury timetable must be handled with caution and care. The Giants’ first-round pick is not expected to suit up for this weeks game against the Jets, but interestingly, his availability for the remainder of the preseason might be in jeopardy.
Although Barkley stated that he felt “really good” in his return back to the practice field, head coach Pat Shurmur is taking his injury one day at a time. In other words, risking another injury with preseason play might not be worth it given his most recent ailment.
