Saquon Barkley reportedly ‘tweaked’ hamstring in practice

Saquon Barkley hobbled off the practice field on Monday with what appeared to be a leg injury, but it is not one that the New York Giants are concerned about.

Not long after he extended to make a play on a deep wheel route, Barkley was seen with his left leg wrapped on the sidelines. ESPN’s Dianna Russini reports that the rookie “tweaked” his hamstring.

Barkley is obviously expected to be a massive part of the Giants’ offense this season, so any injury he suffers is a concern. We saw the type of potential the former Penn State star has when he ripped off a huge run with his first preseason carry.
