The Facts: A week after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in the Giants' memorable rally past the Buccaneers, Barkley is telling people he can beat the timetable for recovery, NFL Network's Kimberly Jones reports.
Diehards Line:
The initial timetable set for Barkley's recovery was four to six weeks, though Jones added the training staff will make sure the second-season running back is using enough caution in his road to recovery. Still, if all goes to the standout running back's plan, he'll be back on the field causing celebration sooner rather than later.
