EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley will miss the rest of the season with a major injury to his right knee. The Giants announced Monday morning Barkley tore the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. The 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year will undergo surgery in the near future, the team said. Barkley went down hard on the Chicago sideline after trying to fend off Bears safety Eddie Jackson on a 6-yard carry early in the second quarter.
