Barkley relayed Wednesday that his hamstring "feels pretty good." "I've been moving pretty well," Barkley said after practicing Wednesday in a limited fashion. "I don't want any setbacks at all and that's why I'm following the game plan."

The game plan Barkley refers to likely means that he'll be held out of Friday's preseason game against the Jets for precautionary purposes while he eases back in from the strained left hamstring. The rookie's Week 1 availability doesn't appear to be in any danger.
