Cam Skattebo was carted off the field after suffering a gruesome injury on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles early in the second quarter. The Giants rookie’s ankle appeared to be twisted after his leg fell underneath a defender looking to make a tackle.
After trainers reached him on the field, a cart was brought out shortly after. He received well wishes and supporting messages from his teammates before he was driven off the field. Even Eagles fans on-hand appeared to give the rookie standout some respect with a round of applause as he headed off to receive medical treatment.

Losing Skattebo is a major blow to the Giants offensive unit. Despite being a rookie, he has captivated New York Giants fans since the regular season began. Alongside fellow rookie, quarterback Jaxson Dart , the pair has been one of the most exciting QB-RB duos in the NFL this season.
Skattebo’s day finished with three rushing attempts for 12 yards. He added one reception for 18 yards as well.
Heading into the matchup, Skattebo had 98 rushing attempts on the season for 398 yards and five touchdowns. His scoring numbers are tied for fifth-most among running backs in the league heading into Week 8.
