Saquon Barkley’s Injury
Barkley has been dealing with this injury for a while, saying that he will be coming back this week. That is now up in the air as the star running back is officially questionable to return. He has been limited in practice all week leading up to the game. He told reporters this week that:
“I feel like I’m trending every week, I felt better last Wednesday and last Thursday, this Thursday, Wednesday, then last Wednesday and Thursday. But when you have injuries, sometimes it takes time. Like I said, just been listening to the trainers, come in here and try and do everything I can, and taking it day by day.”
New York Giants’ Struggles
Saquon has only amounted to 114 rushing yards on 29 carries with one touchdown this season due to his missed time. He also has nine catches for 41 yards, which brought versatility to the Giants’ offense. His absence has been felt by the team as they have been struggling offensively so far.
As for the team, the New York Giants have gotten off to an awful 1-4 start this season with their only win coming from week two against the Arizona Cardinals. They will need to step it up big time if they want to have a chance to compete with the Bills, but, likely, they will not win even if Barkley does play.
