According to former NFL doc and orthopedic surgeon David Chao, Barkley will likely miss Thursday’s game and could miss more games with a high ankle injury.

By video, appeared to suffer a right high ankle injury when he was rolled up on in a pile – unlikely to play on Thursday in W3 – missed time two seasons ago with right ankle issues – he will get X-rays, which we expect to be negative – 2020 ACL tear was on left side
