Alright, so y’all wanna know ’bout this Saquon Barkley fella, huh? Is he hurt or what? Let me tell ya, that boy’s been through the wringer, that’s for sure.
This season, that boy, Saquon, he ain’t been playin’ all the games, no sir. They say he only played in 14 games last season. This year? Seems like he’s missin’ a few here and there too. Football’s a rough game, y’know? These boys get banged up somethin’ fierce.
- He had that MCL thingy in his knee back in Week 2, against Chicago, I think it was. Sounded nasty.
- Then, wouldn’t ya know it, in Week 5 against them Dallas Cowboys, he messed up his ankle. Low ankle, they said. That gotta hurt somethin’ awful.
- And just when you think he’s gettin’ better, they say he got a stinger in practice. A stinger! I don’t even know what that is, but it sounds like it ain’t good.
But lemme tell ya, even with all them hurts, that boy can run! They say he had this one game, ran for 255 yards! Can you believe that? 255 yards! That’s like runnin’ from here to the next town over, almost. They said it was the ninth most in a single game, ever! That’s somethin’ special, right there.
Now, they were talkin’ ’bout whether he’d play in Week 13. They gave him a rest day, see, ’cause he ran so much the week before. Smart, I reckon. Gotta take care of your stars, or they won’t last long.
This fella, Barkley, he gets paid a whole lotta money, they say. Millions! But the funny thing is, they didn’t give him no extra money for scorin’ touchdowns. Not a single dollar extra! Guess they figured he’d get hurt too much to be worth it. And seems like they were right, kinda. Poor fella gets banged up all the time.
They were sayin’ somethin’ ’bout his contract too. Said the Giants, that’s his team, didn’t wanna pay him all that much money no more. Said he’s gettin’ older, see. He’s 27, they said. That’s old for a football player, I guess. So, what happened? He went and joined the Eagles, them other fellas. Guess they were willin’ to pay him.
So, is he hurt right now? That’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? It’s hard to say. He’s had all them hurts, you know, the knee, the ankle, the stinger… But he keeps on playin’, mostly. He’s tough, that’s for sure. But football’s a brutal game, and even the toughest fellas can only take so much. You just gotta hope he can stay healthy enough to keep on runnin’. He’s a good runner, that Saquon.
Anyways, that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. They don’t always tell ya everything, you know. Keep things hush-hush sometimes. But that’s what I heard, and I been listenin’ pretty close.
