Giants Rookie Skattebo Suffers Gruesome Injury
2 Dec
Summary
- Rookie running back Cam Skattebo sustained a severe ankle injury.
- The injury included a dislocated ankle, fractured fibula, and ruptured ligament.
- Skattebo is expected to return for the Giants' offseason program.
Rookie running back Cam Skattebo's promising start with the New York Giants has been halted by a significant injury. During the Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, an awkward tackle left Skattebo's right ankle visibly dislocated and at an unnatural angle.
Subsequent medical assessments revealed the extent of the damage, including a fractured fibula and a ruptured deltoid ligament. Skattebo underwent immediate surgery to address the wounds at Penn Presbyterian in Philadelphia, requiring him to stay in the city post-game.
Despite the serious nature of the injuries, there is positive news for the Giants. The team anticipates Skattebo's return, with expectations that he will be ready for the start of the offseason program.
