Updating previous reports, New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley (ankle) received a second opinion, which didn’t recommend surgery on his ankle.

Footballguys View: No surgery and no Injured Reserve designation for Barkley according to Giants head coach Pat Shurmur. Look for Barkley to return at the latest around Week 12 (the Giants have a Week 11 bye). In the meantime, Wayne Gallman will be their lead back although we don’t think he’s getting a Barkley-like workload.
