31 May
Summary
- Running back Cam Skattebo displayed no discomfort after a home run.
- He performed a backflip, indicating full trust in his surgically repaired ankle.
- Skattebo anticipates being ready for the Giants' Week 1 opener.
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is showing significant progress in his recovery from a broken ankle. The 24-year-old athlete, who sustained the injury in Week 8 last season, recently participated in Brian Burns' charity softball game.
At the event, Skattebo hit a home run and celebrated with a backflip, showing no signs of discomfort or a compromised gait. This performance indicates strong trust in his surgically repaired ankle.
While Skattebo admitted earlier in May he was still "a little ways off" from full participation, he expects to be ready for the Giants' Week 1 regular-season opener. He still needs to pass his physical and demonstrate ability in sharp changes of direction and power running.
His ability to jog without a noticeable limp is a positive sign, with training camp still over two months away, providing ample time for further progress towards full practice.
