Daniel Jones There will be no Daniel Jones, but Saquon Barkley will make his long-awaited return to the New York Giants' backfield in Week 6.
Barkley is officially active for the Giants' Sunday night clash with the host Buffalo Bills despite dealing with a high ankle sprain.
New York enters the game on a three-game losing streak with a sputtering offense that's scored just 31 points during the skid. Being without Jones, who was ruled out Friday with a neck injury and will be replaced by Tyrod Taylor, certainly doesn't bode well for an offensive turnaround, but Barkley's return could provide a spark.
The Giants' star running back was limited throughout the week at practice and drew a questionable designation coming into the game.
The Giants’ inactives are quarterback Daniel Jones (neck), left tackle Andrew Thomas (left hamstring), center John Michael Schmitz (shoulder), safety Bobby McCain, safety Gervarrius Owens, offensive tackle Matt Peart (shoulder) and defensive lineman D.J. Davidson.
The Bills will have tight end Dawson Knox, who was questionable with a wrist injury. He has 11 catches for 75 yards and a touchdown this season.
The Bills’ inactives are safety Damar Hamlin, cornerback Dane Jackson (foot), linebacker A.J. Klein, offensive lineman Germain Ifedi, offensive lineman Alec Anderson and tight end Dalton Kincaid (concussion).
Either Kaiir Elam or Ja’Marcus Ingram will start at cornerback in Jackson’s spot.
