Saquon Barkley was in the midst of a major comeback this season, having bounced back from two knee injuries that sidelined him for most of last season.

Although the former Penn State star and current New York Giants RB spoke to the press after practice earlier this week, the Giants officially designated Barkley as “questionable” heading into Week 14 per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Prior to a storied NFL career, Barkley made a name for himself at Penn State, where he broke several school records and earned All B1G honors.

The RB finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy vote in his senior year while also setting the records for the most all-purpose career yards, most career rushing touchdowns, most career receiving yards by a running back, most rushing yards by a freshman and sophomore, and most total yards in a single game.

The Giants face their division rival in the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.
