Is it possible Saquon Barkley’s redemption season is already off the rails? It certainly didn’t look good on Sunday as Barkley’s New York Giants were facing Micah Parsons and the Dallas Cowboys.
Barkley suffered an ankle injury that led to the former Penn State running back to being carted off the field. Barkley appeared to roll his ankle on a play where nobody should really want to voluntarily watch the replay. Simply put, it did not look great.
He was ruled out or the remainder of the NFC East contest, and his future availability is now a big question moving forward.

Barkley returned to the NFL field this season after rehabbing from a torn ACL suffered early in the 2020 NFL season. We will have to wait and see what the immediate future holds for Barkley now after a punishing game for the Giants against the Cowboys.
