The Giants expect Barkley (knee) to pass a physical and begin practicing Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
If things go according to plan, Barkley will be activated from the PUP list after missing the first two weeks of training camp. He'll presumably be limited in practice at first, but he'll have a month to progress toward full participation before the Sept. 12 season opener against Denver. While the 24-year-old running back has avoided commenting on a timeline, a recent report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests Barkley should make his season debut between Week 1 and Week 3.
