The Facts: There remains no timetable for Barkley's return from a torn ACL that wiped out his 2020 campaign, but the star running back is making headway, according to HC Joe Judge. Entering the second week of training camp, Judge noted that Barkley is making "tangible progress" towards a return to practice. "Saquon is making a lot of strides," Judge said, via Matt Lombardo of FanSided. "He's making tangible progress. We're mirroring his rehab to the tempo and workload of the players who are practicing."

Diehards Line:The status of the running back has hovered over camp, as the club has been cautious with Barkley. The RB himself has publicly downplayed his return throughout the process, leading to speculation that his rehab from the brutal knee injury is taking longer than normal. Last month Barkley responded, "we'll see" when asked if he'd be ready for Week 1. The tidbit of optimism from Judge on Monday suggests that we could see Barkley at least back onto the practice field at some point during the preseason, opening up the opportunity for him to participate in the season opener.
