Giants Put Cam Skattebo in Doubt After Hamstring Work With Trainer

Missed practices have left New York with limited healthy running backs and increased pressure on coaches and the front office to find reliable help.

Overview

  • Cam Skattebo has been working on the side with a trainer for a hamstring issue and has missed consecutive practices, leaving his availability for the upcoming game uncertain.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh said injured players will be evaluated day-to-day and that the team will provide more clarity later in the week.
  • The active roster currently lists two healthy running backs, Devin Singletary and recent signee Greg Derosiers, while Phil Mafah and Eric Gray remain on the practice squad as depth.
  • Skattebo logged a 124-yard, one-touchdown performance in the previous game and appeared to strain the hamstring on a 42-yard overtime run, which tightened the Giants’ already thin backfield after Najee Harris’s release and Tyron Tracy’s move to injured reserve.
  • The team is connected to trade speculation for a veteran workhorse such as Jonathan Taylor, a move that would address both short-term game-plan needs and longer-term durability concerns if internal options prove insufficient.
