Giants won't yet rule out 'quick healer' Saquon Barkley - ESPN
ESPN TEMPE, Ariz. -- New York Giants coach Brian Daboll refused to rule out Saquon Barkley despite an ankle injury his star running back suffered in Sunday's 31-28 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
The Giants play the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night.
When a reported suggested that Barkley would miss time, Daboll cut him off.
"I wouldn't count on that," he said. "Not just yet."

When pressed on whether Barkley would at least miss Thursday night, he wouldn't go there either.
"I'm not saying that he's out yet," coach Brian Daboll said when a reporter suggested they would be without Barkley against the 49ers. "He's a quick healer. I'm not saying he's in, he's out. We're going to take it all the way up with him to Thursday.
"But he feels a lot better [Tuesday]."
