Overview
- Skattebo has been the Giants' primary ballcarrier through five games, taking the heaviest workload but averaging about 3.6 yards per carry and recording four fumbles.
- Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy publicly called Skattebo’s most recent overtime fumble "just unacceptable," pressing fundamentals and ball‑security work with the team.
- Team reports say Skattebo was limited in practice this week with a shoulder issue, creating uncertainty about his availability and snap share for the next game.
- The Giants signed veteran Najee Harris as short‑term insurance, but Harris has been used sparingly and currently posts roughly the same low rushing efficiency as Skattebo.
- Multiple evaluators and scouts now recommend cutting Skattebo’s every‑down role in favor of a committee split, and late practice reports and game‑day designations will show whether the Giants change usage.
