Overview
- On Sunday, Oct. 18, Cam Skattebo played six offensive snaps and recorded zero carries after entering the week with four fumbles in five games, including a costly overtime turnover versus Washington.
- Head coach John Harbaugh said the team did not formally bench Skattebo and described a four-man rotation meant to find a "hot hand," while also acknowledging none of the backs seized the job.
- Skattebo told reporters he was "punished" for his mistakes, took responsibility for the fumbling, and said he expects to keep working to earn touches back.
- The multi-back experiment did not revive New York's ground attack because Harris, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary combined for just 34 yards on 14 carries and the unit finished with 84 rushing yards overall.
- The Giants visit the Texans in Week 7, a game that will likely determine whether Skattebo regains a lead role or the team commits to a committee, a choice that affects play-calling, player trust, and roster planning.
