Considering his reaction and the nature of the play &#8212; a grueling pile-on that had Barkley&#8217;s body contorting backward &#8212; Monday&#8217;s prognosis could be seen as a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              2023 NFL season, Week 2: What We Learned from Sunday&#x27;s games            <\/li>\n<li>              Brian Daboll on Giants&#x27; dramatic comeback win over Cardinals: &#x27;It&#x27;s about the will of the player&#x27;&#xA0;            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 NFL fantasy football waiver wire, Week 3: RB Kyren Williams, TE Hunter Henry among top targets            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Barkley found the end zone twice to help erase a 21-point deficit in the Giants&#8217; remarkable comeback win, and supplanting his energetic play will be tough for a team that seemed to finally find its footing in the second half of Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>Injuries to New York&#8217;s offensive line doesn&#8217;t help the situation, either, with left tackle Andrew Thomas (hamstring) hoping for a quick return after missing Week 2 and guard Ben Bredeson currently in the concussion protocol. Thomas was limited in Monday&#8217;s practice estimation while Bredeson was listed as a DNP.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran Matt Breida, Gary Brightwell and fifth-round rookie Eric Gray round out the RB depth chart for Big Blue and figure to share the workload while Barkley is out.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel Jones, who is second on the team with 102 rushing yards, could be called upon to open up the Giants&#8217; passing attack without a featured back. Jones has throw for 425 yards (41 of 65) with two touchdowns and three interceptions this season, but a leaky O-line that&#8217;s allowed 10 sacks through two weeks has made for some frenzied offensive highlights for New York.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a frustrating injury for Barkley, who signed a reworked one-year deal just ahead of training camp to avoid a lengthy standoff after being franchise tagged earlier in the offseason, but Monday&#8217;s development brings relief for a star RB who should still have the opportunity to prove his worth in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/giants-rb-saquon-barkley-considered-week-to-week-with-ankle-sprain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Giants won&#8217;t have their star running back for Week 3, and perhaps even longer.
