It appears the New York Giants won't test the football gods with Saquon Barkley.

After the star rookie running back tweaked his leg while catching a pass in Monday's training-camp session, he was seen watching Tuesday's positional drills before leaving to spend time with trainers.

Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said the No. 2 overall pick is day to day with a "mild" strain, according to SportsNet New York, and the team will be cautious with him moving forward.

Barkley exploded for an eye-popping 39-yard run during his preseason debut. But after his injury scare, it's likely the Giants will limit his reps leading up to their regular-season opener.
