The Giants waived Barkley on Monday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Tyrod Taylor (ribs) expected to return from the injured reserve list soon, per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, the Giants decided to part ways with Barkley. He's now set to become a free agent unless he's claimed by another team during the current waiver period, but he's also a candidate to be re-signed to the Giants' practice squad if he's not picked up.

Barkley will back up starter Tommy DeVito this Sunday at Dallas, ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan reports.
EDGE Analysis
It won't be surprising if Barkley eventually makes starts, but the Giants will give DeVito the first shot after losing Daniel Jones (ACL) to a season-ending injury. Tyrod Taylor (ribs) is on injured reserve and will miss at least three more games, leaving DeVito and the recently signed Barkley as the healthy QBs on the roster.

The Giants are signing Barkley to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkley takes up the roster spot opened up by Daniel Jones (knee) being placed on IR. It's no surprise to see Barkley join New York's 53-man roster, as following Jones' season-ending injury, and with Tyrod Taylor (ribs) also on short-term IR, Tommy DeVito was previously the only healthy QB on the roster. It seems likely that DeVito will start versus the Cowboys on Sunday, but it wouldn't be shocking if the Giants' situation under center fluctuates down the stretch.

The Giants signed Barkley to their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkley was let go from the Bills' practice squad on Sept. 1 after sustaining an elbow injury during the preseason. With Tyrod Taylor (ribs) knocked out of Sunday's 13-10 overtime loss to the Jets and Daniel Jones (neck) cleared for contact, the Giants signed Tommy DeVito to their active roster Tuesday and added Barkley to their practice squad as insurance in case Jones or Taylor are unable to suit up.

Barkley (elbow) worked out with the Giants on Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkley has seemingly recovered from an elbow injury that resulted in the Bills releasing him from injured reserve in September. The Giants are currently shorthanded at quarterback with Daniel Jones still dealing with a neck injury, and Barkley could now have the opportunity to reunite with head coach Brian Daboll who coached the 33-year-old in Buffalo.

Barkley (elbow) was released after he reached an injury settlement with the Bills on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkley was set to spend the 2023 season on Buffalo's injured reserve, but he will now be free to sign elsewhere. The quarterback has not appeared in a game since 2020, though that won't likely impact his ability to find another suitor in the near future.

EDGE Analysis
Barkley suffered an elbow injury during a preseason contest against Pittsburgh on Aug. 19, and he was never able to return to practice. The veteran quarterback entered training camp expected to battle Kyle Allen for a backup role behind Josh Allen, but Barkley is now slated to miss the 2023 campaign.

Barkley missed practice Wednesday due to an elbow injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Barkely hasn't suited up since putting up a three-interception dud in Saturday's preseason loss to the Steelers, costing him valuable time in his attempt to make up that lost ground in his battle with Kyle Allen for the No. 2 job behind starting quarterback Josh Allen.
