New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley was assisted by the team’s medical staff to the locker room with an apparent ankle injury after catching a pass from quarterback Daniel Jones with 3:27 left in the first half in Tampa on Sunday afternoon.
The Giants officially listed Barkley’s return as questionable.
Dr. David Chao, a former NFL team doctor, chimed in shortly after the injury and suggested it looked like a high ankle sprain, which would sideline Barkley for a significant amount of time.
It was a tough day for Barkley even before the ankle injury, having had his neck crunched on a powerful blow in the first quarter, which sent him to the tend for a concussion evaluation.
Barkley has gained just 10 yards on eight carries for the game and has a dropped pass.
