The New York Giants are unlikely to have Saquon Barkley on Thursday night against the New England Patriots, according to sources.

Barkley suffered a high ankle sprain on Sept. 22 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

He is expected to practice on Tuesday but isn't likely to be medically cleared.

Sitting Barkley gives him another 10 days to rehab until the Giants face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7.
