New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers with an ankle injury.
Barkley injured his ankle in Sunday’s comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals. He limped to the bench during the final drive of New York’s 31-28 win and was later revealed to have sustained an ankle sprain.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday that Barkley was expected to miss three weeks. Head coach Brian Daboll declined on Tuesday to rule him out for Thursday’s game, calling Barkley a “quick healer.” A day later, the Giants have confirmed that they’ll be without their Pro Bowl running back in a tough matchup against the 49ers.
