Overview
- On Sunday, Oct. 18, Cam Skattebo was active for the Giants but finished the loss to the New Orleans Saints with zero carries, the first time in his NFL career he left a game without a touch.
- Skattebo's workload drop followed a run of four fumbles in five games, including a costly overtime turnover against the Washington Commanders that the running back said led to him being "punished."
- Head coach John Harbaugh denied that Skattebo was benched and described the plan as a four-man rotation to "see who could get a hot hand," saying the staff was evaluating which back could earn more work.
- The committee approach produced a poor ground game in Week 6, with the Giants' running backs combining for 34 yards on 14 carries and the team totaling 84 rushing yards in the 34-27 loss.
- A New York Post report saying Najee Harris was released two days later has not been corroborated by other outlets and therefore remains unverified as the club heads into its Week 7 matchup.
