Cam Skattebo Says He’s 75% in Comeback as Giants Add Patrick Ricard to Power Run Push

The developments underscore John Harbaugh’s pivot to a downhill rushing identity built around the second-year back.

Overview

  • Skattebo told The Rich Eisen Show he has resumed running at roughly 75% and described it as a controlled jog without explosive work yet.
  • He said he expects to reach 100% in a little over a month and plans to be ready for OTAs, minicamp and training camp.
  • The Giants signed fullback Patrick Ricard to a two-year, $7.63 million deal that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid fullback, according to the New York Post.
  • Ricard said Skattebo recruited him to New York and predicted a physical backfield producing “a lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns.”
  • Skattebo’s return aligns with Harbaugh’s and Greg Roman’s downhill run emphasis, following a rookie year cut short Oct. 26 by a dislocated ankle with an open tibia fracture and ruptured deltoid ligament.
