The Facts: Barkley will miss his second straight game Sunday when the New York Giants host the Carolina Panthers. Next week, it's expected the former No. 2 overall pick will miss his third game in a row. Barkley's ankle injury will likely keep him out of New York's Week 8 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday that Barkley has a "outside chance" of taking part in that Monday night matchup. It's more likely that the star running back will return from his sprained ankle for the Giants' Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 7, Rapoport added.

Diehards Line: Devontae Booker and Elijhaa Penny will continue to carry the load with Barkley out. The two combined for 20 touches, 85 total yards and a TD last week. If Saquon sits out Week 8, he'll have missed 17 of his last 22 potential games due to injury.
