Saquon Barkley will be sidelined for second straight week.<\/p>\n
Barkley is officially inactive for the New York Giants’ Monday night clash with the visiting Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle sprain.<\/p>\n
The Giants’ star running back was limited throughout the week at practice, but drew a doubtful designation coming into the game.<\/p>\n
Barkley was dinged up during a Week 2 comeback win over the Arizona Cardinals. Missing Monday night guarantees Barkley will have missed multiple games in four of his six seasons.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old two-time Pro Bowler has rushed for 114 yards on 29 carries and caught nine passes for 41 yards with two total touchdowns this season.<\/p>\n
In his absence, the Giants will look for more productivity from Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell, who teamed up for just eight carries for 22 yards in their Week 3 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n
The Giants (1-2) and Seahawks (2-1) kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET tonight.<\/p>\n
