Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram back on the practice field

The Giants are getting closer to having actual offensive players to put around rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

Via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.com, the Giants had a number of key players participating in individual drills Monday.

That group included running backs Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion), tight end Evan Engram (knee), and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion). All four missed last Thursday’s game against the Patriots.

Whether they’re able to return Sunday against the Cardinals remains to be seen, but Barkley tweeted out his own hype video over the weekend, so he’s clearly thinking he’s close.

Of the group, Shepard seems the furthest from readiness, but getting any amount of help will be welcome news for Jones.

  1. Arizona gets the best cover corner in the league back for this matchup which will dramatically improve that pass defense, particularly with how good rookie corner Byron Murphy has been as a rookie. This should be another win for the Cardinals, Murray should have no problem picking apart a very bad New York defense.

  2. NYG defense isn’t very bad. It has played poorly early and improved every week since. It’s due to the young players learning a new scheme. Not that i think the Giants are gonna roll here, just that you’re knowledge of the Giants D is probably three weeks old and poor.

    How can we believe Peterson is the best after learning of his steroid use? Off the juice he may just be an average cover corner, right? Cardinals defense is just horrific but hang your hat on a known cheater returning…that’ll fix things.
