Barkley update: Swollen but "ordinary sprain"

@JordanRaanan
Giants’ RB Saquon Barkley is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his ankle Monday in Arizona to determine the severity of his injury and how much time he could miss, sources tell
@AdamSchefter
and me. Barkley’s ankle was swollen after the game but the inital thinking, in the words of one source, is that “it’s an ordinary (sprain) rather than a high-ankle sprain. Just need to verify (Monday).”

So there’s some optimism and hope going into Monday’s MRI, but more answers await. The Giants play Thursday night in San Francisco
I heard 3 weeks

We’ll see.
Makes sense with how easy he walked off the field

Is that at the end of the game? I thought he had two guys helping him off after the injury.
And I don't mean that sarcastically.

Very easily could've been alot worse.

He was helped but also walking on his own. If it was a high ankle sprain I'd expect zero pressure on it.
I assumed it was high ankle aka broken leg....

But good to know it was better. Such a strange series there as the down before he went down early when it looked like he could've kept going and the down he got hurt, he went full bore when it would've been better to not go all in.

He's one of my favorite players ever, a genuine good human and this really sucks. Hope he is ok.
High ankle sprain

He’s probably taking a cart to the locker room, not standing around on the sideline. I think he’ll be out Thursday, but might have him for the Seattle game (hopefully)
Hopefully he’s good to go in a few weeks.

No way he is out there Thursday. That could risk making it worse and missing an extended period of time.

They’ll be the underdogs with or without Barkley. A creative game plan may allow us to steal one on a short week.
I wanted to know
