New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo took to X on Monday evening to share an uplifting message following his gruesome open ankle dislocation suffered during the team's Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Giants running back was carted off after suffering an ugly-looking ankle injury vs. their division rivals on Sunday.
This is a devastating blow to the Giants and to Skattebo, a fourth-round running back who captivated the NFL with his fearless, hard-charging style, which produced 617 total yards, seven touchdowns and plenty of hope for a beaten-down franchise.
Cam Skattebo had to stay overnight in Philadelphia after his devastating injury, but Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro brought him gifts.
In all of my years covering local sports at the [Sacramento] Bee, I would put Cam Skattebo on the shortest list of guys who were fun to watch, fun to talk to, and then you appreciate his journey as he continues onward,
Adding to the rookie running back's woes is a gruesome ankle injury that he suffered in Week 8. Skattebo underwent ankle surgery on Sunday, which presumably means his season is over. The 23-year-old running back totaled 617 yards from scrimmage and scored seven touchdowns in eight games this season.
