Another day, another reason to believe the New York Giants are back Saquon Barkley will be ready for week 1 of the 2021 regular season.
Barkley posted a video on his Instagram account Tuesday which shows him exercising on a beach. It happened just a few days after the video surfaced on Instagram Saturday of Barkley practicing his golf swing and also receiving golf swing lessons from a trainer named George Gankas.

Barkley tore the ACL in his right knee in Week 2 of the 2020 season, a 17-13 loss to the Chicago bears.
Zack Rosenblatt of NJ Advance Media reports that “Barkley’s status for training camp remains in question after missing all OTAs and minicamp by re-dressing the knee he injured at the start of last season. Barkley suffered the injury nine months ago, and recovery from an ACL injury can sometimes take up to a year, although he appears to be making significant progress. The star running back was in rehab in Arizona prior to the Giants’ volunteer OTAs, when he returned to New Jersey to rehabilitate at the Giants facility.
