Overview

  • Head coach Brian Daboll said on Aug. 19 that Cam Skattebo was cleared to return on a limited basis after missing much of camp and the first two preseason games with a hamstring injury.
  • ESPN insider Jordan Raanan recently indicated Skattebo is probably not going to be ready for Week 1 against Washington.
  • The Giants must decide on any IR move after final cuts to keep open a four-week return window, since a pre-cutdown IR designation would end the rookie’s season.
  • Tyrone Tracy Jr. leads the backfield for now with veteran Devin Singletary and Dante Miller available to cover snaps while Skattebo ramps up.
  • The fourth-round pick (No. 105) from Arizona State enters the NFL off a highly productive 2024 season highlighted by 1,711 rushing yards, 21 rushing touchdowns, and 605 receiving yards.
