Saquon Barkley Headshot

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Giants RB Saquon Barkley tested negative for COVID on Wednesday's re-check. According to Schefter, 13 members of the team who tested positive Tuesday were re-tested, and RBs coach Burton Burns came back as the only positive. That would seem to indicate Barkley is back on track to play. We'll see whether he requires a 2nd negative test to officially be cleared or whether there are any further developments to this situation. Of course, we'll also need to watch to make sure Barkley's sprained ankle is ready for action against the Raiders this Sunday.
