Running back Wayne Gallman and wide receiver Sterling Shepard also are going to miss Thursday night's game. Both have concussions.

Related players: Saquon Barkley, Jon Hilliman

Fantasy Impact:

This story and other reports say Barkley is also unlikely to play in Week 6 because of his high ankle sprain, leaving the RB duties to Hilliman against a Patriots defense that's allowing just 6.8 points per game this season. While the workload could be there for Hilliman, it's not a safe matchup.

Saquon Barkley unlikely to play Thursday night against the Patriots, per sources.

Related players: Wayne Gallman, Jon Hilliman

Fantasy Impact:

The tweet went on to say its still expected to be too early for medical clearance despite returning to practice last week. It has been 16 days since he suffered a high ankle sprain. With Gallman likely out as well (concussion), the RB duties could fall mostly to Hilliman in a not-so-great matchup against the Pats.

NYGiants RB Saquon Barkley stretched + working with the training staff during media access. Light running, change of direction. Looks very good, like himself. Not practicing, but promising sign in his quest to obliterate the 4-8 week timetable for a high ankle sprain.

Fantasy Impact:

Saquon Barkley looks to return closer to four week than eight weeks and his participation on the side of practice is a good sign.
