Giants running back Saquon Barkley revealed Thursday night he has a high ankle sprain, though he added the injury was not as severe as it could have been.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter this week that Barkley was expected to miss three weeks.
Not playing Thursday night was more of a pain management issue. Giants coach Brian Daboll said earlier in the week Barkley had made"considerable progress" and was a fast healer. Barkley told Amazon he will benefit from the 11 days between Thursday night and the Giants' Week 4 game against the Seattle Seahawks on Oct. 2.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Barkley had 29 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown in the first two games of the season. He also had nine catches for 41 yards and a touchdown.
