It will be awhile before we get to see what Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones are capable of together.
Barkley will miss several weeks with the high ankle sprain that forced him out of Sunday’s 32-31 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, with The Post’s Paul Schwartz reporting the running back could be out 6-8 weeks. Barkley was on the sideline with a boot and crutches after he had his foot bent backwards on a tackle by Tampa Bay’s Mike Edwards in the second quarter.
Barkley was seen hopping to the Giants’ celebration after they completed the stunning comeback without their star running back. His X-ray on Sunday came back clean, but he was scheduled for an MRI exam on Monday.
The Giants have home games against the Redskins and Vikings before a Thursday night matchup with the Patriots in New England.
Barkley has 237 yards rushing on 37 carries this season with one touchdown. Wayne Gallman, who had 13 yards on five carries filling in for Barkley on Sunday, is expected to take over the feature back role.
