Saquon Barkley is officially back for the Giants (2-4) , just four weeks after suffering a high ankle sprain. The team announced on Friday that he had been cleared to play in Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals (2-3).

In his first two games of the season, Barkley ran for 227 yards and one touchdown. Without him, the Giants were 1-2 with a significant dip in rushing yards — from an average of 140 yards a game with Barkley on the field to 88 yards without.

”He’s a huge part of this offense; we’re excited about it,” wide receiver Golden Tate said to reporters on Wednesday. “We have to do our jobs the best we can to spring each other.”

Barkley was injured while playing Tampa Bay on Sept. 22, when he was hit low by Buccaneers defender M.J. Stewart, who then fell on Barkley’s right ankle. He needed help leaving the field and was immediately brought to the locker room, but returned to the sideline on crutches to help the Giants celebrate Daniel Jones’s first win as the starting quarterback.
