Giants RB Cam Skattebo Out for Season After Open Ankle Dislocation, 4–6 Month Recovery Projected

The rookie is expected to participate in the offseason program, setting up a possible Week 1 return in 2026 if rehabilitation progresses well.

Overview

  • Skattebo’s Week 8 injury against the Eagles occurred on a pass from fellow rookie Jaxson Dart when he was contacted from behind by linebacker Zack Baun.
  • He was taken to a local hospital for emergency surgery, and coach Brian Daboll said the procedure went well and that Skattebo is recovering.
  • NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport reports a 4–6 month timetable that rules him out for 2025 but positions him for offseason work and a potential 2026 opener.
  • With Skattebo on injured reserve, the Giants are leaning on Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary, with Eric Gray and practice-squad back Dante Miller as depth.
  • Skattebo said “everything is going good” in his rehab and has appeared at an Arizona State rivalry game and a WWE event while using a mobility scooter.
