The clock is still ticking. It is apparent that the fans have been awaiting the star running back Saquon Barkley’s return since the past games. The RB sprained his ankle in the 4th quarter of the New York Giants’ victory against the Arizona Cardinals in week 2. Since then, the Giants’ fans have been missing the Barkley magic in the clashes of Giants. The fans were excited when they heard about Barkley’s possible return in week 6 in their clash against the Miami Dolphins.

Meanwhile, as per reports, Barkley was healing and was in the ‘questionable’ column for the game against the Dolphins on Sunday. His probable status is an opportunity for the Giants to bag another much-needed win for the season. Thus, the status gave the audience some hope to see one of the top RBs in the NFL play in the game, yet their hopes did not last long.

Giants Injury Report: Saquon Barkley not participating

To the dismay of fans, Saquon Barkley will not be participating in Sunday’s game at the Hard Rock stadium. The 1-3 Giants are now in dire need of an important win to survive the season.

On the other hand, the Giants will also be missing out on some other important players.

Giants’ CB Aaron Robinson stays physically unable to perform due to his knee injury, along with ACL and MCL tear. Center John Michael Schmitz, OT Andrew Thomas, and OG Shane Lemieux are ruled out for week 5. Nonetheless, tight end Tommy Sweeny will be participating on Sunday. Yet, fans await only one favorite who can tackle the sinking season of the Giants.
