On Sunday, New York Giants fans witnessed a sight they wished to have never seen, watching Saquon Barkley go down and stay down after a second-quarter hit from Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson. Barkley took off his helmet and expressed frustration before he was helped off the field and eventually carted into the locker room.
After the game — a 17-13 Giants loss — NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the initial tests suggested a torn ACL for Barkley, what would be a season-ending injury. And now, Rapoport reports Big Blue will be working out veteran free-agent running back Devonta Freeman, who could be a potential replacement.
