New York Giants star Saquon Barkley had to be helped off the field late in the game Sunday after suffering an apparent ankle injury.
The Pro Bowl running back suffered the injury with just more than a minute remaining after being tackled on a two-yard run up the middle.
Giants fans saw the team’s season flash before their eyes as Giants trainers helped him hobble off the field.
Two plays after Barkley’s injury, the Giants kicked a field goal to cap a 31-28 win against the Arizona Cardinals, after rallying from a 20-0 halftime deficit.
Barkley played a huge role in that comeback, finishing with 92 total yards and two touchdowns. It’s hard to imagine this Giants offense without Barkley in the bell cow role.
Fans quickly reacted to the Barkley news.
