Schefter did say the longer timeframe is considered more likely. He went on to say the Giants bye is week 11, so it's possible if Barkley needs 8 weeks, he'll be able to play in the final six games of the season. We'll have to see how the RB split works out between Gallman and Penny, but the team is also likely to bring in another back.

The Giants are expecting to be without star RB Saquon Barkley for the next several weeks because of his high-ankle sprain, source said.

We reported Sunday owners will need to be prepared to be without Barkley for Week 4 and likely longer. High ankle sprains tend to take a few weeks and Barkley was already in a boot and crutches by the end of the game. Gallman will likely be a popular pickup this week and looks to be in store for a bigger workload with Barkley out.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports that Saquon Barkley will undergo an MRI exam on Monday to determine the severity of his ankle injury. Giants coach Pat Shumur did not have an update on Barkley's status after the game except to say he should have more information Monday.

Rapoport later reported that initial tests show that Barkley has a high-ankle sprain, according to sources informed.

Barkley was already in a boot by the second half of the game. Barkley said the injury was not season-ending and he'd back as soon as he could. But fantasy owners can likely expect to be without Barkley at least for Week 4, and possibly longer. Gallman and Penny look like they will take over in the backfield if Barkley is out.

Saquon Barkley's afternoon has been sidetracked by injury.

Awards season has begun for Saquon Barkley, and he's picked up his first honor.

The Giants' sensational running back has been named Offensive Rookie of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association. Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield was voted Rookie of the Year by the PFWA, likely signaling more split votes coming for the players who were selected 1-2 in the NFL Draft back in April.

It could be just the beginning of the awards for Barkley, who led the NFL with 2,028 scrimmage yards and joined Eric Dickerson and Edgerin James as the only rookies with at least 2,000 scrimmage yards. Barkley and Mayfield are also finalists for the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Year – voted on by the fans – and remain the favorites to win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award given out by the league on the eve of Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta next month during its NFL Honors program.

Barkely left the game in the fourth quarter this past week and was checked out in the blue medical tent before eventually returning. Barkley should be good to go against the Redskins in Week 14, a team that did hold him in check earlier this season with 13 carries for 38 yards, but he did catch nine passes for 73 yards.

RB Saquon Barkley didn’t need any special treatment this week. Was just a random back spasm on second TD. Nothing more.

Barkley landed awkwardly after leaping toward the end zone for a TD. He was slow to get up, but despite all that is good for Thursday night's Week 6 matchup. Barkey didn't need an MRI.

Saquon Barkley's first NFL game should come with no limitations.

Barkley hasn't played since the New York Giants' preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. He tweaked his hamstring on Aug. 13 and wasn't a full participant in practice until last week.

The No. 2 overall pick has looked good ever since, and doesn't expect the hamstring to have any impact on him in Sunday's season opener when the Giants host the Jacksonville Jaguars, the story said. In the story, Barkley was quoted as saying he's ready for a full workload.
