00:00 The New York Giants could have some potentially good news regarding ailing running back Saquon Barkley.
00:05 Barkley, who sprained his right ankle in the closing seconds of Sunday's 31-28 win over the
00:10 Arizona Cardinals, was initially reported to be looking at a three-week absence following the
00:16 injury. However, head coach Brian Dable on Tuesday said that the running back has made considerable
00:22 progress in the day and a half since the injury occurred and that the team isn't ruling Barkley
00:28 out of Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Now, while that's encouraging, there is
00:34 something else that needs to be considered here and that is the wisdom in rushing Barkley back
00:38 against that 49ers defense. The Giants have an 11-day break in between its week three and week
00:44 four games and it might just be smarter for the team, regardless of how Barkley might be feeling,
00:50 to hold them out of this week's game and instead have an eye on that week four game against the
00:54 Seattle Seahawks. That will probably be the way the Giants go with Barkley, but still the news
01:00 that the running back could be back sooner than the initial three weeks reported is definitely
01:06 encouraging for Big Blue.
