"He sustained the injury when his right leg and ankle bent awkwardly while being tackled on a leaping catch attempt over the middle of the field. Players on both teams showed immediate concern. FOX declined to show a replay of the injury during the game broadcast due to its graphic nature. Skattebo was carted off the field with his leg in an air cast. He received a show of support from the Philadelphia crowd, which gave him a standing ovation."
"The 23-year-old, along with rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, has helped rejuvenate the Giants organization this season. Selected in the fourth round of the draft out of Arizona State, Skattebo entered Sunday's game with 398 rushing, 189 receiving yards and six total touchdowns, celebrating each score with his trademark backflip. He added another receiving touchdown Sunday on an 18-yard catch from Dart that pulled the Giants even with the Eagles at 7-7 in the first quarter."
Cam Skattebo, a 23-year-old rookie running back for the New York Giants, suffered a severe right ankle injury when his leg bent awkwardly during a leaping catch attempt over the middle. Players on both teams reacted with immediate concern and FOX declined to replay the injury because of its graphic nature. Skattebo was carted off in an air cast and received a standing ovation from the Philadelphia crowd; he was later ruled out with an ankle injury. Skattebo entered the game with 398 rushing and 189 receiving yards and six total touchdowns and had just scored on an 18-yard catch from Jaxson Dart. His absence further weakens a Giants offense already hit by Malik Nabers' torn ACL.
