'Saquon Barkley X-ray results reveal despondency amidst swollen right ankle'

Saquon Barkley's ankle injury puts his status for upcoming games in doubt, potentially impacting his future with the Giants.

Saquon Barkley, the star running back for the New York Giants, suffered a swollen right ankle during Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. After the game, Barkley received X-rays on his ankle and appeared visibly upset when he returned to the locker room.

Despite the injury, Barkley played a crucial role in the Giants' comeback victory. However, it was on the final offensive drive that he hurt his ankle, as a Cardinals defender rolled over him. Giants trainers had to assist Barkley off the field.

Initially, Barkley's right ankle was heavily taped on the sideline, but he eventually limped off the field after the game. He was then taken on a cart down the hallway for X-rays.

Quarterback Daniel Jones expressed his concern for Barkley, acknowledging his importance to the team. Jones believes Barkley will work hard to recover and hopes to have him back on the field as soon as possible.

Barkley's performance in the game was impressive, with 63 rushing yards, 29 receiving yards, and two touchdowns. These contributions helped the Giants secure the win and overshadowed Barkley's earlier mistake of dropping a pass that resulted in an interception.

However, Barkley's availability for the upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers is uncertain, depending on the results of the X-rays. The team's coach, Brian Daboll, has not provided an update on Barkley's condition yet.

In this difficult moment, Barkley chose not to speak to the media. It is worth noting that Barkley had hoped to secure a long-term contract with the Giants during the offseason but ended up signing a one-year deal instead, aiming to prove his worth and earn more recognition and financial stability.
