The two cornerstones of the New YorkGiants offense have left their game against the Dallas Cowboys with injuries.
Running back Saquon Barkley was carted off the field on Sunday after rolling his ankle on a teammate's foot during the first quarter. Barkley will not return to the game.
Barkley had suffered a torn ACL last season that ended his year. He has 186 yards and two touchdowns so far this season.
The former No. 2 overall pick had two carries for nine yards on Sunday.
Barkley had been regarded as a top-six running back this week by The Action Network's fantasy football experts before suffering his injury.
Later in the second quarter, quarterback Daniel Jones was also carted into the locker room.
Jones was taken down on a hard collision after the third-year quarterback attempted to run the ball into the end zone.
The former No. 6 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft was seen stumbling around before having to be helped off the field.
