Saquon Barkley finally found some running room on Sunday, but it may have cost him and the Giants dearly.
The third-year running back appeared to injure his right knee significantly on the first play of the second quarter at the end of a 6-yard run. He immediately grabbed for the joint while on the turn, pulled his helmet off, and had to be helped off the field without putting any weight on the leg.
