A large chunk of the Giants’ 2021 season will be focused on gauging the on-field development of Daniel Jones. The preseason, though, will have a different player carrying the daily narrative. For the next month and a half, Planet NYG will pretty much revolve around the development of Saquon Barkley as he inches back toward the field.
Barkley, recovering from a torn ACL last September, will begin training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list. The Giants gave him and other players returning from injury that designation late last week when they reported to the facility for their initial checkups.
