Giants Head Coach Speaks on Running Back's Shoulder Injury

Apparently running back Saquon Barkley was dealing with a shoulder injury in Week 6's win over the Baltimore Ravens.

The injury limited Barkley in practice on Wednesday as well. He played through the shoulder issue in Week 6 and appeared at times to struggle with the injury as he ran for 83 yards and a touchdown in the New York Giants' upset win over the Ravens. 

Saquon Barkley is responsible for 7 of the Giants 12 explosive plays on offense.

However, Giants head coach Brian Daboll said he has no concerns about Barkley's shoulder and his outlook for Week 7 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

The Jaguars' run defense has fallen apart over the last three weeks, allowing the 16th-highest EPA per rush. Barkley is once again in line for 20-plus touches. 

The shoulder injury is something to keep an eye on for Barkley, in the case that it worsens over the coming weeks.
