Giants Rookie Skattebo Suffers Worrying Leg Injury in Eagles Clash
26 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Giants RB Cam Skattebo carted off with right leg injury
- Skattebo had 3 TDs vs Eagles earlier this month
- Promising rookie standout caught 18-yard TD before injury
On October 26, 2025, New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a worrying right leg injury during the team's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Skattebo, who had emerged as a breakout star for the Giants, was carted off the field in the second quarter after taking a hard hit over the middle on a pass attempt.
The 23-year-old Skattebo, a fourth-round pick from Arizona State, had already made a significant impact this season. Just two weeks ago, he scored 3 rushing touchdowns against the Eagles in a 34-17 Giants victory. On Sunday, Skattebo had caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from fellow rookie Jaxson Dart to tie the game at 7-7 in the first quarter.
However, Skattebo's promising performance was cut short when his leg got caught under him during a tackle by Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. The Giants medical staff immediately rushed to Skattebo's aid, and he was eventually driven off the field on a cart, his right leg in a brace. The extent of Skattebo's injury remains unclear, but the sight of the young running back in obvious pain was a concerning one for the Giants and their fans.
