The good news for Giants fans is that the injury isn't as bad as initially believed. Barkley leads the Giants with 114 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown through the first two weeks of action. He has accounted for 155 total offensive yards this season.
The next man up for the Giants will be a familiar face to 49ers fans. Matt Breida will likely fill in for Barkley at Levi's Stadium on Thursday night. Breida has just three carries for 14 yards this season, his second with New York.
