Overview
- Skattebo injured his right ankle in the second quarter on a pass attempt broken up by Eagles linebacker Zack Baun at Lincoln Financial Field, prompting on-field stabilization, an air cast and a cart to a Philadelphia-area hospital.
- The Giants confirmed a dislocated right ankle, ruled him out of the game and announced he was scheduled for surgery Sunday night in the Philadelphia area.
- Independent sports physicians and multiple outlets characterized the injury as season-ending, with cautious optimism about his long-term recovery after surgery.
- Teammates and opponents reacted with visible distress, quarterback Jaxson Dart was emotional, and the Eagles crowd gave Skattebo an ovation as he left the field.
- Before the injury, Skattebo scored on an 18-yard reception and had been New York’s leading rusher entering Week 8; the Giants plan to lean on Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary going forward.
