Judge encouraged by Barkley's practices for Giants opener

Roughly a year after tearing his right ACL, indications are Saquon Barkley is going to play for the New York Giants in the season opener against the Denver Broncos on Sunday

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • Associated Press

Expected to play Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Barkley (knee) will play in Sunday's game against the Broncos

Impact It isn't quite clear if Rapoport is relying on a source or just reading between the lines like everyone else. Either way, Barkley has made steady progress over the past few weeks, and he finished Friday's practice without any setbacks a few hours after coach Joe Judge had said that a setback-free session would allow the running back to play in Sunday's game. For his part, Barkley once again avoided commenting on his Sunday availability, merely saying he won't know the decision until after he's met with team officials and medical staff. Final word should come down at some point this weekend as the Giants prepare for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Impact Barkley made his comments about two hours after coach Joe Judge had told reporters the running back would play in Sunday's game if he avoided setbacks during Friday's practice. It now appears that happened, but Barkley has been crystal-clear that he won't be the one to comment on expectations for Week 1. While all the recent signs point toward him suiting up, it'd still be nice to have confirmation one way or the other before game day. The Giants host the Broncos at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Impact Per Judge, at this stage it would take a setback at practice Friday for Barkley not to suit up Week 1. It remains to be seen if the running back heads into the weekend with any sort of injury tag, but it looks like he'll be out there Sunday in some capacity. If that's the case, what sort of workload he'd be handed out of the gate is unclear, but once Barkley reestablishes the health of his knee, he'll reclaim his role as the Giants' undisputed top back ahead of Devontae Booker and rookie sixth-rounder Gary Brightwell.

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 1

The start-or-sit dilemma is part of managing a fantasy football team

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • Associated Press

Limited again Thursday Barkley (calf) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact After a rainy night and Thursday morning, the grass was somewhat slick at practice, but Barkley was out there, indicating confidence in his surgically repaired right knee. Speaking to the media, offensive coordinator Jason Garrett told Paul Schwartz of the New York Post that he has "a lot of confidence" in Barkley and termed the running back "heathy and 100 percent." That's not to say Barkley will have his typical workload, if active, Sunday against the Broncos, but he should have the greatest share of touches afforded the Giants backfield, if so. Aside from Barkley, Devontae Booker and rookie sixth-rounder Gary Brightwell are the team's other running backs on the 53-man roster.

Gets in limited practice Barkley (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Barkley is approaching the end of his return to play from the torn ACL and MCL he suffered in his right knee Week 2 of last season. He cleared one of the final hurdles last Thursday when he took contact in practice. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Monday that Barkley is expected to be a part of the Giants' game plan in the season opener, but his eventual snap count on offense may not approach the 80-plus percent threshold he's accustomed to in his career, when healthy. If Barkley does yield some reps Sunday against the Broncos, Devontae Booker and rookie Gary Brightwell are on hand for touches out of the backfield.
