Barkley's return comes after he missed the last three weeks due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 3's win over the Buccaneers.
After Barkley was injured, he vowed to come back sooner than his 4-6 week timetable, which appears to be the case.
RB Saquon Barkley and TE Evan Engram are ACTIVE for #AZvsNYG.
