GiantsCam Skattebo Leaves Practice After Collision; Coaches Say It’s Not Serious

The episode increases pressure to tightly manage his workload so the team can protect his surgically repaired ankle and preserve his availability.

Overview

  • Cam Skattebo exited the New York Giants’ training-camp practice after a collision with rookie Arvell Reese on Friday, Aug. 7 and did not return to the session, reporters at The Greenbrier said.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh called the issue “not a serious injury” and said Skattebo is still working through conditioning as he returns from last season’s rehab.
  • Skattebo is coming off surgery for a severe 2025 right-ankle injury that included an open dislocation, a fractured fibula, and a ruptured deltoid ligament.
  • The Giants have built a deeper, physical backfield with Tyrone Tracy Jr., Devin Singletary, fullback Patrick Ricard, and rookie Francis Mauigoa to support a run-first plan and reduce single-player exposure.
  • Coaches will monitor reps and limit touches as needed in the preseason, and the team’s use of its committee will be the clearest sign to watch for ahead of Week 1.
