Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Suffers Leg, Ankle Injury

Rookie New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome lower-right leg and ankle injury in the second quarter of Sunday’s game at Lincoln Financial Field and was carted off with an air splint. His leg was pinned and awkwardly bent on the play, prompting an immediate medical response and visible reactions from players on both teams as he was taken to the locker room. Skattebo had earlier caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Jaxson Dart — his team-leading seventh score — underscoring the blow to the Giants’ offense. Reports describe the injury as significant and potentially season-threatening, and Skattebo will begin rehabilitation with his breakout rookie campaign now in jeopardy. Tyrone Tracy Jr. is expected to shoulder a larger workload as the team adjusts to his likely extended absence.
