Cam Skattebo Injury Update
Cam Skattebo hurt his ankle during the Giants versus Eagles game on Sunday. He got tackled and his leg twisted underneath him. You could see right away that it was serious. Trainers rushed out and placed an air cast on his leg before carting him off the field. Skattebo managed a wave to fans as he left. He was taken to a nearby hospital for more tests and surgery that same night.
Doctors said his ankle was dislocated. The team quickly ruled him out for the rest of the game. Everything points to him missing much more than just one game. Surgery and rehab for an injury like this normally takes around four to six months. That means Skattebo likely won’t play again this season. The focus now shifts to recovery and getting back next year.
It’s a tough blow for the Giants. Skattebo was having a strong rookie season. Before the injury, he had run for 400-plus yards and grabbed multiple touchdowns. He also caught an 18-yard pass for a score against the Eagles right before getting hurt.
Players and coaches were upset after seeing the injury. You could tell how much he means to the team. His energy and running style set him apart. Everyone hopes he comes back healthy for next year’s training camp.
The Giants will need to rely on other running backs for now. Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary might get more chances. Skattebo’s focus will be surgery and then working on rehab. Doctors say if all goes well, he could be ready for next year’s opener.
Right now, the only official update is that Cam Skattebo will not return this season. He’ll have surgery and start the tough road to recovery. Fans and teammates are hoping he heals up and gets back even stronger.
