Giants’ Saquon Barkley exits Bears game with leg injury
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley left a Week 2 game against the Chicago Bears after suffering separate injuries on back-to-back plays.
On the final play of the first quarter, Barkley went down awkwardly on his left wrist and went to the sidelines for one play. He was briefly spelled by veteran Dion Lewis before returning and suffering another injury on his very next touch.
Barkley crumbled into a heap on the turf and ripped his helmet off as trainers rushed to his side.
The superstar back was seen grabbing his right knee and couldn’t leave the field under his own power, instead being helped off by trainers while avoiding putting any weight on his leg.
Barkley was subsequently carted from the sideline into the locker room for X-rays and further evaluation.
The Giants announced Barkley will not return and will undergo an MRI on Monday.
