The New York Giants announced Former Penn State standout Saquon Barkley limped off of the practice field nursing a strained hamstring Monday.

RB Saquon Barkley left practice early after stretching out for a long reception. His left leg was wrapped the remainder of practice. Coach Shurmur said this afternoon after Barkley had been examined, “Saquon has a mild strain, and we’ll be smart with him as we move along here.”— New York Giants (@Giants) August 13, 2018

Barkley played in his first preseason game last Thursday where he gained 43 yards on four carries. He rumbled for 39 yards on his first NFL carry with the Giants.

The Giants drafted Barkley No. 2 overall in the latest NFL draft. Now, they will look to make sure he is healthy before he takes the field again.
