Both the Giants’ defensive line and wide receiver corps will look a little different than anticipated Wednesday during the first practice of the preseason.
There had been speculation about Saquon Barkley skipping games in protest after the star running back and the Giants failed to agree to a long-term deal before the deadline for franchise-tagged players passed last week.
Turns out, Barkley wasn’t even willing to skip a practice.
In a stunning twist Tuesday, Barkley agreed to a revised one-year contract and reported to training camp with the rest of his teammates. The Giants made minimal concessions to get their star running back in the fold for camp, which kicks off Wednesday.
Barkley is still set to earn the $10.091 million he was due on the.
