Saquon Barkley Not Setting Timetable For Return
4 years agoNew York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) said that his surgically repaired knee is doing well, but he won't set a target date for his return to action. The 2018 Offensive Rookie of the Year tore his right ACL in Week 2 and missed the rest of the 2020 season. Unless he suffers some sort of setback, Barkley should be ready for Week 1 of the 2021 season. He had 1,441 scrimmage yards in 2019 but missed three games with a high-ankle sprain. The 24-year-old was a top-three fantasy selection after his first two impressive seasons, but fantasy managers will be more spooked about his knee injury in 2021, which could make him an excellent value pick in the first couple rounds of drafts. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Barkley's progress through the spring and summer months.
