An MRI showed that New York running back Saquon Barkley suffered an 'ordinary' ankle sprain that now is expected to sideline him three weeks, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday, as the Giants began preparations to take on the 49ers on Thursday.
There was hope that Barkley had avoided a serious injury and it was just a normal ankle sprain, not the dreaded high ankle sprain that generally sidelines players for multiple weeks.
"So now, my back's against the wall again. I've got to go out there and prove it. I'm going to go out there and play my heart out, compete at a high level and do what I do best, not only for myself but for my teammates."
