Barkley (hamstring) returned to team drills Sunday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Barkley was seen taking handoffs and "effortlessly" catching passes, making it seem as if he's back to normal after sustaining a minor hamstring strain in practice Aug. 13. He and the the rest of the starting offense will probably be held out of Thursday's preseason finale against the Patriots, but there doesn't appear to be any concern regarding Barkley's availability for Week 1.
