Giants Lose Jones, Barkley, Golladay as Cowboys Romp

 COWBOYS 44 - GIANTS 20 

The Giants have bigger problems now on their hands beyond just getting blown out by the Dallas Cowboys, Sunday. 


Big Blue suffered three huge injuries that could impact the way this team performs in the coming weeks. Saquon Barkley, Daniel Jones and Kenny Golladay all left Sunday's action with injuries, and there is serious questions about when they will return. 

Barkley suffered a sprained ankle, he suffered early in the game when he got his foot rolled up on with a Dallas corner Jourdan Lewis. He was seen in a boot and crutches after the game according to ESPN; he will undergo further tests on Monday. There is a chance he could be sidelined for a "couple weeks."

Golladay suffered the knee injury while trying to go up for a catch with corner Trevon Diggs draped over him; his status for Week 6 is uncertain.

The scariest injury belongs to Jones, who suffered a concussion while trying to scramble for the end zone in the second quarter. He looked woozy upon getting up, and didn't return. Mike Glennon played under center for the rest of the afternoon. 

Jones will have to go through concussion protocol this week before his status is determined.  Once that trio left the Giants really had no shot against Dallas. Dak Prescott ripped the G-Men to shreds, tossing for 302 yards and three touchdowns. 

At 1-4,  and a cloud of uncertainty hovering over the Giants stars on offense, it won't get any easier next week against the LA Rams.
