Giants head coach Joe Judge said Barkley (ankle) will take part in drills on the practice field Tuesday and Wednesday this week as the team looks to gauge where he stands in his recovery, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Because New York is on bye Week 10, the team won't be holding any official practice sessions, but Barkley looks like he'll stick around the facility this week and get in some work with the hope of returning to the lineup for the Giants' next game Monday, Nov. 22 at Tampa Bay. Though he's missed four consecutive games with the left ankle sprain and had his rehab program interrupted last week by a brief stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the bye week should provide sufficient time for him to shake off the injury once and for all. Devontae Booker (hip) will move back into a reserve role once Barkley officially gets the green light to play again.
