Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Out for Season With Open Fracture and Ligament Damage

A 4–6 month timeline projects his return for offseason work following successful emergency surgery.

Overview

  • New York placed Cam Skattebo on injured reserve on Oct. 28 after his Week 8 leg injury against the Eagles on a tackle by linebacker Zack Baun.
  • Reports detail a dislocated ankle with a fibula fracture, a ruptured deltoid ligament, and an open fracture, expanding the initial diagnosis.
  • Surgery was performed Sunday night in Philadelphia to close the wound, which Coach Brian Daboll said went well, and Skattebo later posted that the procedure was a success.
  • Insiders expect roughly 4–6 months of rehab with the team targeting participation in OTAs and minicamp, and Daboll said no additional procedures are planned at this time.
  • With Skattebo sidelined after posting 617 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns, Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary will take on larger roles in the Giants’ backfield.
