Saquon Barkley will miss his second straight game Sunday when the New York Giants (1-5) host the Carolina Panthers (3-3). Next week, it's expected the former No. 2 overall pick will miss his third game in a row.
Barkley missed three weeks in 2019 with an ankle sprain and suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 2 of the 2020 season. The league's Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2018, Barkley has not played a full slate of games since that star-making campaign.
If Saquon sits out Week 8, he'll have missed 17 of his last 22 potential games due to injury.
