Saquon Barkley will miss significant time with ankle injury

It will be awhile before we get to see what Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones are capable of together.

The Post’s Paul Schwartz reported on Sunday that Barkley could be out six to eight weeks with the high ankle sprain that forced him out of Sunday’s 32-31 win over the Buccaneers. 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’s MRI exam confirmed what The Post reported was a high ankle sprain that could keep Barkley out for up to eight weeks. The Giants have a Week 11 bye and Barkley could return after that.

Pat Shurmur confirmed the injury but didn’t offer a timetable. “We certainly believe in Wayne Gallman,” Shurmur said.

Barkley was hopping to the Giants’ celebration after they completed the stunning comeback without their star running back.

Barkley has 237 yards rushing on 37 carries this season with one touchdown. Gallman, who had 13 yards on five carries filling in for Barkley on Sunday, is expected to take over the feature back role.
