It turns out that the Giants were out of Sunday’s blowout loss even earlier than it looked.
The outcome could have been determined Wednesday, when Saquon Barkley injured his neck during practice. Barkley revealed that he suffered a stinger, which was the reason that he was listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week and treated as a game-time decision entering Sunday’s“I wasn’t limited,” Barkley said after playing 20 snaps and rushing nine times for 28 yards. “I think it was part of just the game plan. Obviously, we got down.
“I wouldn’t say we had a pitch count, but I think we had a plan,” head coach Brian Daboll said. “We were going to make sure we were being smart with him. I just wanted to make sure we weren’t overloading him.” “It kind of was up to the last minute with the neck, and the only thing I did was just continue to rehab it all week and trust the doctors and the trainers,” Barkley said. “They kept telling me if it keeps getting better, I’ll get a shot.

We have to do a better job creating run lanes.”The sight of a helmet-less Barkley wrapped in a winter coat on the sideline to start the fourth quarter was the earliest sign of admitting defeat.
Barkley said the injury happened when he spun after catching a pass and “something just flared in my neck.”
