PHILADELPHIA — Cam Skattebo’s brilliant rookie season just took a turn for the worse. In fact, his season could be over. Skattebo suffered what appeared to be a serious injury to his right ankle midway through the second quarter Sunday against the Eagles. Giants teammates dropped to a knee, and several turned their backs to avoid the gruesome scene. Dr. Eric Friedman, a Charlotte-based sports injury physician who is the team doctor for USA Ski & Snowboard, declared on “X” that Skattebo has a season-ending open fracture of his tibia and is looking at multiple future surgeries, but could be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season if there are no complications. Skattebo left the field on a cart with his ankle in an air cast and received a big ovation from the notoriously unfriendly Eagles crowd, which is a sign that the hard-running running back has earned their respect. He scored his team-leading seventh touchdown earlier in the game on an 18-yard pass from Jaxson Dart. Tyrone Tracy Jr. – the former starting running back supplanted by Skattebo and now forced into a bigger role again – was with Skattebo the longest to show his support. Skattebo pointed as the cart drove off to acknowledge the support.
