Overview
- Skattebo played six offensive snaps and had zero carries in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints, marking the first time he was active but finished a game without a touch.
- The move followed Skattebo's four fumbles in five games, including a costly overtime turnover the previous week that helped prompt the team to reevaluate his role.
- Coach John Harbaugh said the zero-carry outing "was not by design" and framed the plan as a four-man rotation, while Skattebo said he was "punished" and understands the decision.
- Najee Harris was elevated into a larger role and the Giants used a committee that included Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary, but the backfield produced limited rushing output against a weak Saints run defense.
- The demotion's duration is unresolved and the Week 7 game in Houston and the upcoming bye will be key to whether one back emerges, how the depth chart changes and what that means for roster decisions and fantasy value.
