Overview
- Skattebo’s injury occurred on a second‑quarter pass over the middle when contact from Eagles linebacker Zack Baun left his right leg trapped and bent awkwardly.
- Medical staff immobilized his leg in an air cast and carted him off as players reacted in distress, and FOX declined to show a replay because of the graphic nature.
- The Giants said he underwent surgery Sunday night in the Philadelphia area, with Brian Daboll noting the procedure went well and that the rookie is recovering.
- He has been ruled out for the rest of 2025 after a breakout start that included 410 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns.
- Reports indicate he remains hospitalized as he recovers, and independent medical commentary has expressed cautious optimism about a 2026 return if rehabilitation proceeds without complications.
