Barkley was considered “50-50” to suit up after being a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday due to a neck injury. However, the 25-year-old felt good during pregame warmups and will battle an Eagles defense surrendering 117.9 rushing yards per game – 17th in the NFL.
After struggling with injuries the past few seasons, Barkley has showcased the skills that made him the second overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Through 12 games, the former Penn State standout ranks fourth in rushing yards (1,055) and fifth in yards from scrimmage (1,296) while scoring eight touchdowns.
Barkley’s resurgence has been a vital component of the Giants’ success this season, as New York currently finds itself holding down a playoff spot with a 7-4-1 record.
FanDuel Sportsbook has the Giants as +7.5 home underdogs on the spread and +275 on the moneyline.
