Saquon Barkley (ankle) to work with Giants Wednesday
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) will participate in team drills on Wednesday, per head coach Brian Daboll.
What It Means:
It will be the first time Barkley participates in team drills since injuring his ankle in Week 2. The Giants will release their first official injury report for the week on Wednesday, but this is a positive sign for Barkley's status in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Matt Breida will lead the backfield again if Barkley is unable to play.
The Dolphins are allowing the eighth-most FanDuel points per game to running backs and their run defense is second-worst in the league, according to numberFire’s opponent-adjusted NEP model. The Giants are still double-digit dogs on the road, but Barkley is talented enough to exploit a susceptible Miami run defense.
