Should play Week 1 Barkley (knee) is "gearing up to play Week 1" against the Broncos and is "very close" to being cleared, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Impact Rapoport didn't comment on expectations for Barkley's Week 1 role, instead saying that we should see the running back on the field "in some form or fashion" for the season opener. The running back seems to have cleared every hurdle on schedule since he was removed from the PUP list Aug. 9, returning to full-team drills at the end of August before taking contact for the first time last Thursday. The Giants still will want to see him complete a full practice this week, but all signs point to Barkley playing Week 1, even if it isn't in his usual role with 80-plus percent of offensive snaps.

Takes contact in practice Barkley (knee) took hits during Thursday's practice, but he didn't elaborate on the extent or significance, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Meanwhile, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports that the running back has a "strong chance" to play Week 1 against the Broncos. Barkley returned to 11-on-11s last Thursday, donning a non-contact jersey for a joint practice with the Patriots. He's now progressed to some form of contact, though perhaps not in full-team sessions.

On track for Week 1 Barkley (knee) has a strong chance to play Week 1 against Denver, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Barkley has been trending in this direction for a few weeks now, but the Giants will wait until the final days before their Sept. 12 opener to make a decision, as they first want to see him in full-team practices without a non-contact jersey. The running back is on the field for the start of Thursday's practice, per Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York, though it isn't clear exactly what he'll be doing. Barkley returned to full-team drills last week during joint practices with the Patriots, albeit in a non-contact jersey. It may be tough to judge his activity level this week, as media access is reduced at the end of the preseason and the Giants' first injury report isn't due until Wednesday (Sept. 8).

Upping workload Wednesday Giants head coach Joe Judge said Barkley (knee) will have an "increased" workload at Wednesday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Judge already has relayed that he won't make a decision on Barkley's status for the Giants' Week 1 game against the Broncos until next week, but the running back's progress still is worthwhile to mention. Barkley hasn't taken hits, and Wednesday's session is in shells and not pads, so he's unlikely to get rid of his non-contact jersey just yet. That'll likely be the final step in his journey to get all the way back from the ACL and MCL tears he suffered in his right knee last September.

No decision this week Coach Joe Judge said the Giants won't make any decision on Barkley (knee) and his status for the season opener until next week, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The Giants will take it down to the wire, though recent signs have all been positive, with Barkley participating in full-team drills at the end of last week before going through pregame warmups ahead of Sunday's exhibition loss to the Patriots. The next big step is to shed his non-contract jersey, something Judge has mentioned as a 'must' before Barkley can be cleared to play in a game. For what it's worth, the Giants' initial 53-man roster includes just three tailbacks, with Barkley followed by free-agent addition Devontae Booker and rookie sixth-round pick Gary Brightwell, though fullback Elijhaa Penny also has some experience as a ballcarrier.

Plans to go through warmups Barkley (knee) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Patriots, but he will dress in uniform and go through pregame warmups, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports...

Impact It's the latest positive sign for Barkley, who took four reps in 7-on-7s and four more in 11-on-11s at Thursday's practice -- his first live drills since last September. He even caught three passes on the eight snaps, but he'll still need to ramp up his workload and shed his no-contact jersey before the Giants consider playing him in a game. The team opens its season Sept. 12 against the Broncos.
