Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Dislocates Right Ankle, Undergoes Surgery After Eagles Game

New York is shifting backfield duties to Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary as medical analysts call the injury likely season-ending with a realistic path to a 2026 return.

Overview

  • Skattebo suffered the injury on a second-quarter pass attempt when Eagles linebacker Zack Baun brought him down awkwardly, causing his right foot to bend under him.
  • He was carted off with an air cast, ruled out before halftime, and taken to a Philadelphia-area hospital for evaluation.
  • The Giants confirmed a dislocated right ankle, and multiple outlets reported he underwent surgery Sunday night after the game.
  • Doctors and media analysts described the setback as likely ending his rookie season, with projections of a strong chance to play next year if recovery progresses normally.
  • The fourth-round pick had emerged as a key contributor with roughly 398–410 rushing yards and multiple touchdowns, and the team now turns to Tracy Jr. and Singletary to handle the workload.
