WATCH: Giants Saquon Barkley may miss weeks due to high ankle sprain

Daniel Jones just lost his security blanket.

Following an awkward tumble against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley is out with a high-ankle sprain for the next 4-8 weeks.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Monday, the longer end of that timeline is more likely. He also points out that the Giants have a bye in Week 11, which could allow a full eight weeks of recovery for the running back.

Dan Benton of Giants Wire says to expect a transaction or two from the team in the next couple days, including bringing up rookie RB Jon Hilliman from the practice squad.
