New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley suffered a high ankle sprain, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
MRI revealed Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley suffered a high ankle sprain that could sideline him anywhere from 4-8 weeks, per source. Longer timeline is considered more likely; the Giants have a bye in week 11, which could give him eight weeks to recover and return for last six games.

The injury could sideline Barkley anywhere from four to eight weeks or perhaps longer.
“We’re just going to have to see first off. We certainly believe in Wayne Gallman and we certainly believe he will be able to step in and do his very best. And we’ll just have to see at some point. We may have to add a running back behind him as we go forward here,” Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said on espn.com.
