Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Undergoes Season-Ending Ankle Surgery After Open Dislocation Injury

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a severe ankle injury during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, which was confirmed as a dislocated ankle that required immediate surgery. The injury, described as an open fracture with high risks including infection, ended Skattebo's 2025 season prematurely. Giants head coach Brian Daboll reported that the surgery "all went well" and that Skattebo is on the road to recovery, with teammates and fans deeply affected by the gruesome injury. Prior to the injury, Skattebo had been a standout rookie, leading the Giants in rushing and contributing significantly to the offense with multiple touchdowns. Medical experts and team officials are optimistic about his full recovery and return for the 2026 NFL season, provided complications like infection are avoided. The Giants will now rely on Tyrone Tracy Jr. to fill the running back role moving forward.
