VIDEO: Clip of Saquon Barkley Sprinting and Cutting While Injured Proves He's an Absolute Freak
By Kevin Aquino
The Giants have rattled off back-to-back wins after an 0-2 start, and the good news just keeps on coming. After being ruled out for several weeks due to a high ankle sprain sustained in Week 3 against the Buccaneers, star running back Saquon Barkley is already putting work in on the practice field, and his movement is impressive to say the least.

It looks as though Barkley has made significant progress in his recovery, and being able to bounce back so fast basically makes him something like the NFL's version of Wolverine.
The 22-year-old is progressing well, but the Giants should be extremely careful in bringing him back too soon. Although they can only benefit from having Barkley on the field, it's the Daniel Jones Show right now, and things are carrying on surprisingly positively.
Perhaps the best case scenario is Barkley making his return against the Patriots next Thursday, and for what it's worth, it doesn't seem like the Penn State product is too keen on missing the matchup.
Saquon Barkley made it clear at #NFL100 event in August how much he was looking forward to trip to Foxboro and being on the field vs Tom Brady.

At this rate, I won't shut door on next Thursday night for Barkley's return. Have to think that's in his mind. https://t.co/mrdf6t8sh0
Barkley has already proven to be one of football's top up-and-comers, and if injuries can't even keep the kid down, the league better watch out.
