Giants’ Running Back Cam Skattebo Injured During Game Against Eagles
Philadelphia, PA – New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo sustained an ankle injury during Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. The incident occurred in the second quarter, casting a shadow over the game for the Giants.
Skattebo, a promising player who had already scored a touchdown earlier in the game, was attempting to catch a pass from quarterback Jaxson Dart when the injury happened. As he reached for the slightly out-of-reach pass, his right ankle buckled underneath him upon landing.
The severity of the injury was immediately apparent. Skattebo showed visible signs of pain, prompting a swift response from the Giants’ medical team. Teammates also reacted with concern, reflecting the impact Skattebo has had on the team since being drafted.
Medical personnel attended to Skattebo on the field before he was taken off on a medical cart. As he was carted off the field, Skattebo acknowledged the crowd with a wave.
Skattebo, drafted by the Giants, had quickly become a key player in their offense. His performance this season has provided a bright spot for Giants fans.
Before Sunday’s game, Skattebo had accumulated a total of 398 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He had also demonstrated his versatility as a receiver, with 23 catches for 189 yards and an additional touchdown.
In the game against the Eagles, Skattebo scored the Giants’ first touchdown. However, the Eagles’ offense proved challenging for New York to contain. At halftime, Philadelphia led with 21-10.
The Giants have not yet released an official update on the nature of Skattebo’s injury or the expected recovery time. The team and its fans are awaiting further information.
