Barkley (ankle) was projected to be a limited practice participant Monday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
The Giants didn't have practice due to the short week of preparation for Thursday's game against the Patriots, but it's still a good sign that Barkley was estimated to participate in some capacity. The 22-year-old was also a limited participant Friday and has apparently been targeting Thursday's game for his return from a high right ankle sprain.
