Overview
- Skattebo was sharply reduced after a costly fumble in Week 5 and recorded zero carries in the Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints.
- Earlier this week the Giants released Najee Harris, leaving Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary as the primary internal options.
- Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Skattebo handled the demotion “like a true pro,” comments that reporters interpreted as a sign he is back in the coaches’ good graces.
- Multiple outlets report the front office is exploring running-back additions before the Nov. 10 trade deadline, with names such as Tony Pollard and Jonathan Taylor discussed as possible short-term fixes.
- Skattebo’s season statistics include roughly 290–300 rushing yards, a 3.6 yards-per-carry average and four fumbles, which explain both why he lost work and why the team is weighing outside help while J.J. McCarthy takes over at quarterback.
