Watch: Saquon Barkley rolls ankle, carted off vs. Cowboys

Saquon Barkley suffered an injury in the first quarter of Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. The injury happened on a play from where Barkley wasn't a rusher or receiver. Barkley accidentally stepped on Cowboys defender Jordan Lewis' foot and twisted his ankle. The injury was incredibly gruesome to look at.

Saquon Barkley is the most dynamic player on the New York Giants offense and is a vital part of their future. He had his best game in Week 4 with six catches to go with 94 yards.

Saquon Barkley went down in the first quarter when the Cowboys were winning 3-0. Barkley had two rushes for nine yards at the time of the injury. Immediately after the injury, Barkley hobbled off the field to the sidelines. He sat on the sidelines for a few minutes before being carted to the locker room a few minutes later.

Saquon Barkley's injury will likely cause him to miss time

Cameras caught Saquon Barkley with his tape, sock and shoes off on the sidelines. Barkley's left ankle was immensely swollen after only a few minutes of being out. After Barkley was carted out, the Giants said his return for the night was questionable. Minutes later, the team ruled him out for the rest of the game.

Devontae Booker and Gary Brightwell took over rushing duties for the rest of the game for the Giants. Booker is a solid backup running back who has averaged four yards per carry in his NFL career.

The Giants have reason to be nervous about Saquon Barkley. The star running back will likely miss time due to the severity of his ankle sprain. The Giants face two of the best defenses in the NFL starting next week. They face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 6, followed by the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. Without Barkley, the rest of the Giants season will be a lot harder.
