Saquon Barkley Medical Update – Injured New York Giants Running Back Escapes Himself, After Suffering From Sprained Ankle

The Giants staged a historic comeback on Sunday against the Cardinals. Their Week 1 scoreless defeat to the Cowboys loomed ominously as they once again struggled to put points on the board in the first half, while the Cardinals took a commanding lead. However, the Big Blue rallied, led by star quarterback Daniel Jones, who finally broke the deadlock in the 3rd quarter, sparking their resurgence. Amidst this jaw-dropping spectacle, the star RB Saquon Barkley found trouble.

In the waning minutes of the game, as the Giants battled for a tie, the 2x Pro Bowler stumbled at the line of scrimmage after a pass from Jones, resulting in an ankle injury that immediately raised eyebrows among the fanbase.

Will Saquon Barkley return before Thursday?

The injury unfolded after a handoff from Jones, as Barkley attempted to navigate through the defensive line but was halted by LB Krys Barnes, resulting in an awkward fall amidst a cluster of players. The medical team swiftly rushed to the field, providing assistance to the star RB, who exhibited a noticeable limp and struggled to put weight on his right leg. Subsequently, Barkley was carted off the sidelines for an X-ray.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz took to Twitter to share an update on Barkley’s injury. According to the report, the Giants appear to believe that the star RB sustained a sprained ankle, with no indications of it being a major injury. With a Thursday matchup against the Niners on the horizon, the report does not offer clarity on whether he can make a return in such a short timeframe.

Amidst the dramatic triumph, Barkley’s injury casts a shadow over the Giants. However, their overtime upset has reignited hope among the fanbase.

Giants’ insane upset over the Cardinals!

In the opening half, the Cardinals notched two touchdowns and two field goals, amassing a commanding 20-point lead. The Giants, finally making an entrance in the third quarter, broke their scoring drought for the season with a breathtaking 14-yard touchdown, courtesy of Jones himself.

Then came Barkley’s 1-yard touchdown run, followed by another TD pass to the star RB. After the game was tied, the Giants secured a crucial 3-point lead with a 34-yard field goal by Graham Gano, leaving a mere 19 seconds on the clock. The final score was 31-28.

The Big Blue dominated the second half, igniting anticipation among the fanbase for the upcoming showdown. Nevertheless, the burning question remains whether Barkley can stage a comeback before the next game. If not, it could spell serious trouble for the team’s resurgence.
