Suiting up, as expected Barkley (knee) is listed as active Thursday at Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Impact It's no surprise Barkley is available Week 2 after suiting up in a season-opening loss to the Broncos, against whom he had 11 touches for 27 yards from scrimmage on a 44-percent share of the snaps on offense. He proceeded to log limited practices Monday through Wednesday, but considering he'll be playing in his second game in five days, the Giants again may opt to cap his workload, especially in slick conditions at FedEx Field. Behind Barkley, Devontae Booker earned 36 percent of the offensive plays this past Sunday on his way to five touches for 13 yards, while rookie sixth-rounder Gary Brightwell didn't have a carry and hauled in his only target for six yards.
