Signs with Jacksonville
Jacksonville signed Barkley to its active roster from the Giants' practice squad Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
In a corresponding move, the Jaguars placed safety Daniel Thomas on their injured reserve list Tuesday. With Trevor Lawrence dealing with an AC joint sprain, Barkley could be in line to play a backup role as early as Sunday.

At this point in his career Barkley is really just a journeyman who is unlikely to see the field. He hasn't appeared in a game since 2020 and has produced more turnovers than scores in his time in the league. He'll have a chance to compete with Kyle Allen for the backup role, so it's not out of the question that if Josh Allen is injured that the team will turn to Barkley instead of Kyle Allen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![FA](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/football/100FA.png?v=8)
Could be starter with Jones hurt
Barkley could be in the mix to become the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 10 against the Cowboys, as Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report that Daniel Jones is feared to have suffered a torn ACL in the Week 9 loss to Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Jones will have an MRI on his knee Monday, but he's likely to be sidelined for an extended period. Tyrod Taylor is on injured reserve due to a rib injury, and the only other quarterback on the Giants' roster is rookie Tommy DeVito, who has thrown for 174 yards in more than four full quarters of play over the past two weeks. Barkley has seven NFL starts under his belt and will likely be added to the Giants' roster from the team's practice squad, either to start against Dallas or to back up DeVito.
