Giants running back Saquon Barkley will play in a pivotal game against the NFC East-leading Eagles on Sunday, coach Brian Daboll told NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo on Sunday morning.
Leading up to the game, multiple reports indicated that Barkley was “50–50” to play in the divisional tilt due to a neck injury. Barkley was listed as questionable throughout the week, but did attend Saturday’s walk-through, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, a sign that he was hoping to play come Sunday.
ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio reported on Sunday morning that Barkley had an MRI on the injury late in the week.
