New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo has been one of the most exciting young players to watch this season — but unfortunately, his year came to an abrupt end after suffering a serious ankle injury in Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Skattebo went down in the second quarter after his foot got caught under a defender during a tackle. He was carted off the field with an air cast and later diagnosed with a dislocated right ankle, which required immediate surgery. The team confirmed his injury is season-ending.
It’s a tough loss for the Giants. Skattebo’s energy, toughness, and versatility brought life to the offense, and he quickly became a fan favorite. In just a few games, he showed flashes of being a long-term playmaker for New York.
Now, the focus shifts to recovery. Doctors say ankle dislocations like this take months of rehab, but the good news is that many players make full recoveries. If all goes well, Skattebo should be ready to return next season stronger than ever.
Giants teammates and fans have rallied behind him, sending messages of support and encouragement. While this is a setback, it’s clear Cam’s journey in the NFL is far from over — it’s just hitting a pause before an even greater comeback.
Injuries like Cam’s show how important ankle strength and mobility are — whether you’re an athlete or just staying active.
