Saquon Barkley Absent On Wednesday
3 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. The team held a walkthrough practice on Wednesday and gave Barkley a little extra rest heading into the Week 15 divisional tilt with the Dallas Cowboys. Barkley missed Weeks 6-9 with a sprained ankle, but he's healthy now and should be just fine to play this Sunday. The 24-year-old has seen double-digit carries in each of the last three games and had a season-high-tying 16 carries for 64 yards while catching all three of his targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Barkley will continue to be the Giants lead back, but until quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) is able to return under center, this offense will leave a lot to be desired. Barkley is a midrange RB2 heading into Sunday's game against Dallas.
