Overview
- Skattebo dislocated his right ankle on Oct. 26 while attempting to catch a pass, was placed in an air cast and carted off as players and broadcasters avoided replays of the graphic injury.
- He underwent emergency surgery that night at a Philadelphia hospital and remained there Monday, with team and media reports describing him as doing well given the circumstances.
- The Giants will lean on Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary to replace their breakout rookie, who had 410 rushing yards, 24 catches for 207 yards and seven total touchdowns this season.
- Medical commentary from NFL Network and independent physicians projects a strong chance of a full 2026 return if recovery proceeds without complications.
- Skattebo posted that surgery went well and thanked Philadelphia medical staff and supporters, and Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro visited him in the hospital with pizza and cheesesteaks, per the Philadelphia Inquirer.
