Just looking at Saquon Barkley, you would think that he is not of this world.
Well, he may have blown his cover on Thursday when he stated a trip to Wakanda helped him recover from his ankle injury quickly.
In the film, Wakanda is depicted as a place with magical healing powers, which is a fictional Utopian nation in the movie Black Panther.
The 22-year-old Barkley was expected to miss multiple weeks after suffering an ankle sprain in Week 3, but he was back on the field practicing this week just eleven days after he had to exit the game in the first half against the Tampa Bay Bucs.
In fact, Giants head coach Pat Shurmur won’t rule out Barkley suiting up this Sunday, but it would be completely foolish for the Giants to rush him back out on the field unless he is 100% ready to go. You certainly don’t want to cause a future issue.
