Saquon Barkley cleared yet another hurdle when he came through his first contact at practice with the New York Giants late last week with no issues, according to sources.

If all goes well in Wednesday's padded practice, Barkley is expected to be on the field Sunday for the team's Week 1 game against the Denver Broncos.

According to reports, his workload would still be limited as the Giants continue to take a long-term approach with their star running back.
