The New York Giants sustained a devastating loss to injury on Sunday afternoon. Electric rookie RB Cam Skatebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury, later diagnosed as a dislocated ankle, that ended his 2025 campaign prematurely.
Skattebo was rushed to a local hospital in Philadelphia for emergency surgery on Sunday afternoon, and “all went well,” per head coach Brian Daboll. He will begin rehabbing immediately, but will have a difficult road ahead toward recovery.
