Giants RB Saquon Barkley practiced with contact Thursday for the 1st time since his ACL tear last September. "We did a normal practice safely and just talked to the guys and [they] gave me some good shots," Barkley said, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. "But it's [about] route running and running routes just to get me back in the flow of things, so I guess you could say yes [I took my first hit]." It doesn't sound like he took a lot of contact, but any change on that front is a positive development.
