The Giants staged a historic comeback on Sunday against the Cardinals. Their Week 1 scoreless defeat to the Cowboys loomed ominously as they once again struggled to put points on the board in the first half, while the Cardinals took a commanding lead. However, the Big Blue rallied, led by star quarterback Daniel Jones, who finally broke the deadlock in the 3rd quarter, sparking their resurgence. Amidst this jaw-dropping spectacle, the star RB Saquon Barkley found trouble.

In the waning minutes of the game, as the Giants battled for a tie, the 2x Pro Bowler stumbled at the line of scrimmage after a pass from Jones, resulting in an ankle injury that immediately raised eyebrows among the fanbase.

Will Saquon Barkley return before Thursday?

The injury unfolded after a handoff from Jones, as Barkley attempted to navigate through the defensive line but was halted by LB Krys Barnes, resulting in an awkward fall amidst a cluster of players. The medical team swiftly rushed to the field, providing assistance to the star RB, who exhibited a noticeable limp and struggled to put weight on his right leg. Subsequently, Barkley was carted off the sidelines for an X-ray.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz took to Twitter to share an update on Barkley’s injury. According to the report, the Giants appear to believe that the star RB sustained a sprained ankle, with no indications of it being a major injury. With a Thursday matchup against the Niners on the horizon, the report does not offer clarity on whether he can make a return in such a short timeframe.
