huskyhater75 242 Posted October 3, 2019 Shurmur says it's possible Barkley plays this week. I hope they aren't rushing him too much, high ankle sprains linger kinda like hamstrings do, seems like they usually take longer than 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,452 Posted October 3, 2019 This is the concern I had when he first had the injury. In most most cases you see a player return from this type of injury to soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PunkRockRedneck 8 Posted October 3, 2019 I'm really hoping they hold him out this week. I'd much rather have him the rest of the season vs another quarter or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 3, 2019 I have Gallman, so I hope Barkley plays this week (and tweaks that ankle even more). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have both and would prefer Barkley not play so I don’t have to decide whether to play him over Gallman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeElf 787 Posted October 3, 2019 Probly just coachspeak to make sure the Vikings don't just gameplan against Daniel Jones only. I can't imagine Barkley being back THAT quickly from an injury that should take 6-8 weeks to recover (and was being reported as being in the long end of that timeframe). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 84 Posted October 3, 2019 I think they keep Barkley out this week. He's more important to them long-term than a game vs. the Vikings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,452 Posted October 3, 2019 Agreed. Hes not playing this week, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him return their next game. And again it might be to soon, high ankle problems is a issue take takes time to heal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huskyhater75 242 Posted October 3, 2019 Yep I'm short a RB this week but hope they keep Barkley out, gonna have to hope that Singletary gets back on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be very surprised if he plays this week. its probably a ploy to try to make the other team plan for his presence to some degree thereby making the game plan without him slightly more effective.

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted October 3, 2019 I think Week 7 is the more realistic timeline. They always do this and the player end up sitting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously I don't play professional sports, but I've had a ton of ankle injuries from my basketball days. One good thing about sprained ankle injuries is that as long as you can handle the pain, there isn't much risk in aggregating them... Unless you were just going to sprain it again anyway. Hamstrings, turf toe, stuff like that you don't want to come back early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EternalShinyAndChrome 2,493 Posted October 3, 2019 Yeah, I don't really see him playing this week OR next week at all. I mean, if the Giants were smart about this but we've seen coaches before rushing their players back and running them for good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
