As for the Giants, it was unclear throughout the week leading up to gameday whether or not running back Saquon Barkley would play due to a neck injury. However, he was on the field warming up on the field pregame and the Giants announced that he will be active for the game.
The Giants, however, will be without two starters on defense due to injury – defensive tackle Leonard Williams and cornerback Adoree' Jackson.
