\n<\/aside>\nThough the Giants added Saquon Barkley to the injury report Friday with a neck issue and listed him as questionable to play, there is some real doubt about his availability for their game Sunday against the Eagles at MetLife Stadium. The coaching staff and medical personnel want to see how Barkley feels after his pregame warmup.<\/p>\n
If he does play, a concern is how effective Barkley will be, and if the soreness in his neck would be exacerbated if he gets hit in the area or if he has to lower his helmet to muscle for extra yards or make a block in pass protection. Barkley has been dealing with an issue with his shoulder for several weeks, and his production has dropped in the second half of the season.<\/p>\n
The Giants did not elevate running back Jashaun Corbin from the practice squad, meaning if Barkley cannot play or is limited, the only two running backs available are Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell. They did activate DT Ryder Anderson and CB Zyon Gilbert from the practice squad for the game.<\/p>\n
\nThere is an 80 percent chance of rain during the game, with temperatures barely rising above 40 degrees. The Giants moved their practice indoors on Wednesday rather than work on the soggy outdoor grass.<\/p>\nSaquon Barkley is looking to prove he’s efficient ahead of coming back from a neck injury.<\/figcaption>Al Bello\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe definitely have to have a plan for whether it’s rain, sleet or a little bit of snow, wind,” head coach Brian Daboll said. \u201cJust being from the Northeast area, Buffalo so to speak, and then coming out here \u2014 this is like Florida here. Again, we’ll cross that bridge if we get to it and talk about it pregame and see where it’s at. Usually those things change, at least from my experience, a good amount. Aware of it, definitely.”<\/p>\n
\nJalen Hurts, in Week 12 last season, was intercepted three times in a 13-7 loss to the Giants at MetLife Stadium. There is a picture on the wall at the Eagles’ facility showing tackle Jordan Mailata with his hand on the back of his young quarterback. Hurts had his hands on his knees in defeat after the final play of that game.<\/p>\n
