So, team insider Mickey Spagnola reports, it was the calf injury that actually sidelined Barber, who was having problems simply running during the walk-through practice on Saturday morning when the trainers decided it would be too risky for his long-term health to play him on Sunday. At that time, before leaving the complex, the club decided it would be best to leave Barber behind, giving him a better chance of being ready for this Sunday night against the Giants -- an objective they believe will be achieved.
