Giants Running Back out vs. Eagles After Ankle Injury
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo will miss the rest of the game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday due to an ankle dislocation suffered in the second quarter. Skattebo was taken off the field in an aircast and transported to a local hospital for further assessment.
Skattebo was injured when he landed awkwardly during a play, prompting his teammates to call for assistance. Quarterback Jaxson Dart, a close friend of Skattebo, visibly reacted to the severity of the injury. The Giants' bench quickly gathered around Skattebo after the incident.
As Skattebo was being carted off, the Philadelphia Eagles fans gave him a standing ovation, and he gestured towards the Giants' sideline. Skattebo had gained 12 yards on three carries and scored a touchdown earlier in the game.
Skattebo's injury is a significant setback for the Giants both in terms of morale and on-field performance. The duo of Dart and Skattebo had energized the Giants' fan base, especially after a recent victory over the Eagles. Skattebo's impact extended beyond his playing style, as he had become a fan favorite and a positive presence for the team.
