The Jacksonville Jaguars have waived tight end Josh Pederson due to an ankle injury sustained during practice. Pederson, who is the son of head coach Doug Pederson, did not record any catches in his three games last season. To fill the roster spot, the Jaguars signed tight end Chris Myarick and running back Gary Brightwell, both of whom have previous experience with the New York Giants.

Saquon Barkley, running back for the New York Giants, is not expected to play against the Miami Dolphins due to an ankle injury. Barkley has been limited in practice all week and expressed doubt about his status. He is said to be 'closer' to a return and may be back for Week 6. In his absence, the Giants will rely on Matt Breida and Gary Brightwell in the backfield.

Saquon Barkley's status for Sunday's game against Miami is in question as he continues to recover from a high right-ankle sprain. Coach Brian Daboll stated that Barkley's availability for Week 5 may come down to a game-time decision. If Barkley is unable to play, Matt Breida will lead the Giants' backfield with Gary Brightwell available as well.

Saquon Barkley, the running back for the New York Giants, will not be playing in tonight's game against the Seattle Seahawks due to an ankle injury. Barkley had limited practices this week and there is a possibility of his return in Week 5. In his absence, Matt Breida is expected to be the lead back for the Giants, with Gary Brightwell and Eric Gray also active.

Giants RB Matt Breida had a tough game against the 49ers, but managed to salvage a usable fantasy performance with an eight-yard touchdown. He split carries with RB Gary Brightwell and led in snaps. Breida remains the best fantasy option in the backfield as long as RB Saquon Barkley is out.

The New York Giants have officially ruled out running back Saquon Barkley for Thursday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Matt Breida is expected to be the primary running back, with Gary Brightwell and rookie Eric Gray also getting opportunities in the backfield.

ESPN's Jordan Ranaan provides insight into the Giants' backfield situation with Saquon Barkley sidelined. Ranaan expects Matt Breida to have the biggest role, citing his familiarity with the offense and reliability in pass protection. Gary Brightwell will also see some carries, while Eric Gray will be used sporadically as a runner and pass-catcher.

Giants RB Saquon Barkley is expected to miss three weeks with an ankle injury. It's an "ordinary" sprain, rather than a high-ankle sprain. Barkley's absence leaves the Giants' backfield to Matt Breida, Gary Brightwell, and rookie Eric Gray.
