As the Giants await official word on Saquon Barkley’s injured ankle, a report regarding his health suggests the star running back may have avoided a major injury.
Barkley, who exited a Week 2 win over the Cardinals late, received positive news Sunday night after his X-rays came back negative, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. Up next for Barkley will be an MRI on Monday to confirm the extent of his injury, which the team doesn’t believe is “serious,” per Schultz.
While Giants and NFL fans anxiously await tomorrow’s update, the latest news, at least, appears to be in a step in the right direction for Barkley after getting injured on a scary tackle by Cardinals linebacker Krys Barnes in the final two minutes of the contest.
