After sitting out practice all week this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise and with a bye in the Week 10 horizon there’s a possibility he sits next week too.

Devontae Booker will continue to start in Barkley’s place and see a decent workload with 16 or more touches in the last 3 games.

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley missed Thursday's practice with an ankle injury.

There was some hope that Saquon would be able to return for Week 8, but recent reports suggest that the Giants are now more optimistic for Week 9. With the Giants playing on Monday, there are still two more days for their star running back to take the practice field, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan at the ready. Devontae Booker will get another start for New York if Saquon is sidelined and is our 25th ranked running back for Week 8.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) and WRs Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring), and Kadarius Toney (ankle) all made appearances at practice Wednesday, albeit stretching in what is a walkthrough according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.

The offense performed okay minus this group Week 7, but having some/all of them back for Week 8's tilt in Kansas City would be a boost against one of the worst defenses in football.

The New York Giants will be without RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) and WRs Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) Week 7 against the Carolina Panthers.

Three big losses but there is a chance Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton, Evan Engram, and John Ross play.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) and WRs Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) were not practicing with the rest of the Giants according to Art Stapleton of The Record (New Jersey). WR John Ross was off to the side doing individual drills as well.

Gross. It is realistic that the Giants will be without the main trio against Carolina Sunday, making any Giants offensive player a major risk to use Week 7.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Kenny Golladay (knee) will miss Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. WRs Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are questionable.

Daniel Jones and company would be in a world of hurt if Slayton and Toney were to miss. Look for both to suit up with injuries an issue.

New York Giants running Saquon Barkley missed Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Saquon suffered a grotesque ankle injury in Week 6 and is expected to be sidelined for multiple weeks. However, the Giants have not placed their star running back on short-term I.R. and thus are still providing injury updates. No one should expect a miraculous return to play for Week 6, but the reluctance to place him on injured reserve suggests that the Giants hope to have him back by or before Week 8. Devontae Booker will get the featured treatment with Saquon sidelined, with Elijah Penny backing him up. Booker is our 19th ranked running back for Week 6.

Kadarius Toney was banged up late against the Cowboys and is dealing with an ankle problem that has his status for Sunday's game against the Rams in doubt. Still, he is proving he might be the scariest weapon on this offense, even when running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) are healthy. The game plan is sure to feature him significantly more moving forward than early this season, when he was still getting up to speed.

The story went as far to say Toney "needs" to be a big part of the game plan going forward. However, as the story also said, Toney is banged up at the moment with an ankle injury so he may not suit up for Week 6. The same can be said for Shepard and Slayton as well. And, if Toney is a big part going forward when everyone is healthy, Shepard and Slayton likely move down a notch on the depth chart.

Joe Judge wouldn’t say Saquon Barkley has a sprained ankle (he does), but he said X-Rays came back “with better news than it could’ve been. A little bit of a sigh of relief.”

Vacchiano went on to say to no one’s surprise, Judge won’t put a timetable on Barkley’s return, but Vacchiano went on to estimate probably about 2-3 weeks. It's certainly good news, especially if you saw the highlights of the injury and Barkley's swollen ankle. Other reports say it's a low ankle sprain for Barkley. Look for Booker to eat up a big part of Barkley's workload.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley is believed to have suffered a low ankle sprain and is considered week to week.

A sigh of relief for sure, as it could have been worse. The injury does likely mean Barkley will miss next week's game against the Rams. Rapoport reports Barkley is going to work to only miss one week. If that’s the case, Barkley would return October 24 against the Panthers.
