New York Giants' Cam Skattebo Suffers Season-Ending Severe Leg Injury

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a severe, season-ending injury during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, including an open tibia fracture, ruptured deltoid ligament, dislocated right ankle, and fibula fracture. The injury required immediate emergency surgery at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and Skattebo was discharged from the hospital shortly after, expressing gratitude for the care he received and optimism about his recovery. Despite the gruesome nature of the injury, NFL insider Ian Rapoport noted that the recovery timeline is expected to be 4–6 months, suggesting Skattebo should be ready for offseason activities next year. Giants head coach Brian Daboll reported that Skattebo was already attending meetings and moving around the team's facilities within days of surgery. The injury occurred when Eagles linebacker Zack Baun tackled Skattebo, a play that has sparked controversy and debate among fans and commentators regarding its legality and severity. Skattebo's promising rookie season, highlighted by 410 rushing yards and five touchdowns, was cut short, but both the player and team remain hopeful for his full recovery and return next season.
