WATCH: Saquon Barkley running less than two weeks after ankle injury

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is just over a week into his expected 4-8 weeks of recovery for his high ankle sprain, but it sure looks like he’ll be back sooner than later.

Check out this video from Wednesday’s practice, where Barkley is moving a whole lot better than someone with a high-ankle sprain should be at this point:

Barkley left the Giants’ Week 3 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second quarter, returning to the sideline with crutches and a walking boot after halftime.

Reporters asked Giants coach Pat Shurmur about the timeline of Barkley’s recovery, to which he said, “Some doctors had him at eight weeks. Not my doctors.”
