Saquon Barkley’s 2023
Saquon Barkley was off to a decent start this season rushing for 114 yards and a touchdown in the two and a half games that he has participated in. He has also amounted to 41 receiving yards in 2023 which has brought New York a more versatile look to their offense. The star running back has suffered through many gruesome injuries throughout his career which has caused him to miss significant time in his still young career.
The Giants have struggled without Saquon in the lineup, and most likely will again against the Dolphins. New York fans have missed the star running back greatly as New York has gotten off to a 1-3 start to the 2023 season.
Injury Recovery
This high ankle injury has been an ongoing recovery for New York’s key offensive star and it looks like he will aim to recover some more before playing the dominant Buffalo Bills in week six. The Giants’ season has not been what they had hoped for after being a playoff team last season, and a lot of the reason for the struggles they are having offensively is due to the absence of their star running back.
We will keep you updated on Saquon Barkley’s injury progression as the week goes on, but he is officially out for the matchup against the Dolphins today.
