Saquon Barkley explains why he returned vs. Titans after scary neck injury

Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley recently addressed his surprising return to the gridiron against Tennessee after sustaining a nerve stinger in the first half of a game his squad ultimately secured 24-20. Barkley played eleven additional snaps in the latter half, carrying the ball three times for nine yards after convincing medical staff to let him rejoin the action.

Following a subsequent MRI scan on Monday that revealed no major structural damage, the veteran playmaker acknowledged the scary nature of nerve issues and noted he plans to incorporate targeted neck stabilization exercises into his training regimen moving forward.
