Impact Barkley has been removed from the PUP list and cleared for Monday's practice -- his first participation since the ACL tear last September. He's unlikely to play in the first or second preseason game, but he might make it back for the Giants' third and final exhibition Aug. 29 against the Patriots. NFL teams rarely played starters in the last week of the preseason in the past, but Judge said with the new schedule the Giants would treat the first exhibition (Aug. 14 against the Jets) the way they used to treat the last, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger. That could mean they play some starters, including Barkley, in the preseason finale, which takes place exactly two weeks before the regular-season opener Sept. 12 against Denver. A return to practice Monday gives Barkley more than a month to get ready.

Activated from PUP Barkley (knee) has been activated from the PUP list for Monday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Barkley figures to be limited in his first practice since suffering an ACL tear last September. He'll have a little over a month to get ready for the regular-season opener Sept. 12 against Denver, with Dan Duggan of The Athletic highlighting the final week of the preseason (late August) as a target for Barkley to ramp up his activity level. That doesn't necessarily mean he would play in the Giants' final preseason game Aug. 29 against New England, but either way, a return to full practice participation around that time would put Barkley on track for Week 1. His return to practice Monday is a major step toward that goal.

Ready for practice The Giants expect Barkley (knee) to pass a physical and begin practicing Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact 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.

Impact Barkley's availability for Week 1 is still unclear, as that estimate implies, and could tilt one way or the other once he resumes practicing, but it does appear as though he'll avoid starting the coming campaign on the PUP list and will thus have an opportunity to work his way back into the mix early on this season. Though a Week 1 return has not being ruled out at this stage, we suspect the Giants aren't inclined to rush their star back anyhow, with Rapoport indicating that this a "long-term play" for the team.

Impact The running back seems to be running, jumping and cutting at full speed, but he hasn't been cleared to practice, leaving Devontae Booker as the Giants' top back early in training camp. Barkley should eventually get in on the fun at camp, though an appearance in a preseason game this August seems unlikely. He's thus far been unwilling to comment on a rehab timeline or make any comments about a potential return date, leading to speculation that he could miss Week 1. However, a return to practice within the next couple weeks likely would put Barkley on track for the season opener.

Working with trainers Barkley (knee) worked with the Giants' training staff while his teammates practiced Wednesday, Art Stapleton of northjersey.com reports.

Impact Barkley will reside on the PUP list until he's cleared to practice, but that didn't stop him from chatting with his healthy teammates and going through some individual drills in shorts and a hoodie. The 24-year-old running back has refused to comment on his expectations for returning to practice or games, after he was held out of the offseason program while finishing up his rehab from late-October surgery. With Barkley still out, Devontae Booker should get regular work alongside Daniel Jones and the first-team offense.
