Saquon Barkley runs strong, looks like he's back to pre-injury self

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Remember the Saquon Barkley who tore apart the league last season as a rookie running back for the New York Giants? He appears to be back after a lengthy disappearance spearheaded by a high ankle sprain.

Barkley hurt that ankle in a Week 3 win. Twelve weeks later, he finally topped 100 yards rushing again. It took a while -- longer than most, including Barkley, expected -- but the Giants' star finally seems to be running and cutting like he did while earning the NFL's Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
