Giants Rookie Cam Skattebo Undergoes Emergency Ankle Surgery, Out for Season

Brian Daboll reports a successful procedure, putting Tyrone Tracy Jr. plus Devin Singletary in line for more work.

Overview

  • Skattebo dislocated his right ankle in the second quarter against the Eagles and was removed from the field on a stretcher.
  • The 22-year-old underwent emergency surgery Sunday night after being transported to a hospital, and team officials say the operation went well.
  • The procedure is being treated as season-ending for the fourth-round pick, who had 410 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns and scored earlier in the game.
  • New York is reassessing backfield depth with Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary as options after previously losing Malik Nabers to a Week 3 ACL tear.
  • Quarterback Jaxson Dart voiced heartbreak over the injury, and Daboll noted a 4:08 a.m. text from Skattebo as the rookie begins a long rehabilitation process.
