Saquon Barkley To Make Return Monday Against Buccaneers, Ankle Should Be Near Full Health

Saquon Barkley, the Giants star running back, will make his return on Monday Night Football after missing the last four games with a left ankle sprain. The time off could actually be a blessing in disguise, as the fourth-year pro should be nearly fully recovered from the torn right knee ACL he suffered in Week 2 last season. His return will be a major boost for the 3-6 Giants, as they take on the reigning Super Bowl champion Buccaneers. Barkley has rushed for 195 yards and 2 touchdowns, adding 14 receptions for 130 yards and 1 touchdown, in 5 starts this season before the ankle injury.
