Saquon Barkley's afternoon has been sidetracked by injury.

The New York Giants will not return to their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after suffering an ankle injury in the second quarter. The team ruled him out before the start of the second half.

After falling awkwardly on a six-yard reception near New York's sideline, Barkley was helped into the locker room supported by two team trainers. Gallman is next up on the depth chart with Penny behind him.

Awards season has begun for Saquon Barkley, and he's picked up his first honor.

The Giants' sensational running back has been named Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was voted Rookie of the Year by the PFWA, likely signaling more split votes coming for the players who were selected 1-2 in the NFL Draft back in April.

It could be just the beginning of the awards for Barkley, who led the NFL with 2,028 scrimmage yards and joined Eric Dickerson and Edgerin James as the only rookies with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards. Barkley and Mayfield are also finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year – voted on by the fans – and remain the favorites to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award given out by the league on the eve of Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta next month during its NFL Honors program.

Keep on they look out for updated rankings after this news from Director of Forecasting John Paulsen. Shepard becomes the WR1 for the Giants with Barkley likely to also see increased targets.

Saquon Barkley said, “Shoulder feels really good. Feel nothing.”

Barkely left the game in the fourth quarter this past week and was checked out in the blue medical tent before eventually returning. Barkley should be good to go against the Redskins in Week 14, a team that did hold him in check earlier this season with 13 carries for 38 yards, but he did catch nine passes for 73 yards.

RB Saquon Barkley didn’t need any special treatment this week. Was just a random back spasm on second TD. Nothing more.

Barkley landed awkwardly after leaping toward the end zone for a TD. He was slow to get up, but despite all that is good for Thursday night's Week 6 matchup. Barkey didn't need an MRI.

Saquon Barkley's first NFL game should come with no limitations.

Barkley hasn't played since the New York Giants' preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. He tweaked his hamstring on Aug. 13 and wasn't a full participant in practice until last week.

The No. 2 overall pick has looked good ever since, and doesn't expect the hamstring to have any impact on him in Sunday's season opener when the Giants host the Jacksonville Jaguars, the story said. In the story, Barkley was quoted as saying he's ready for a full workload.

Saquon Barkley is back. Blew past LB Ray-Ray Armstrong on a wheel route in 7-on-7.

The Giants are likely taking it very easy with their top pick, but he seems like he'll be a go for Week 1.

Giants running back Saquon Barkley showed off his knack for making big plays in Monday’s practice, but the team got a scare in the process.

Barkley reeled in a long Kyle Lauletta pass down the sideline with his fingertips before going to get checked out by members of the team’s medical staff. Barkley had a wrap and ice pack put on his left leg for a short time, but it was off by the time he and the rest of the team walked off the field.

Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said he didn’t see what happened to Barkley, but that he thinks all is well, according to the story.

Giants rookie running back Saquon Barkley didn't take a single rep on Saturday after individual warmups, and has had his workload decreased significantly over the past several practices, ahead of Thursday night's NFL preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns.

Prior to Monday's practice, Shurmur put to bed any concern that Barkley had suffered an injury that led to a reduction in practice snaps.

"We're managing workloads," Shurmur said. "We take a good look at what they're doing. He's fine, if that's what you're asking, he's physically fine."

The story said Saturday's rest was the third day in a row Barkley didn't take a majority of the first-team snaps. HC Pat Shurmur said the team does a lot of behind-the-scenes work and Barkley has looked great and doesn't look like a rookie. Gallman and Stewart took a lot of the first-team reps with Barkley out. Despite the signing of Stewart, Gallman is the favorite to be the backup to Barkley, according to a story we posted a few weeks ago.
