Rookie Cam Skattebo Moves to Forefront of Giants Backfield in Week 2

Brian Daboll says carries will be decided game to game in a three-back rotation.

Overview

  • Against the Cowboys, Cam Skattebo led the Giants’ backs in usage, rushing 11 times for 45 yards and punching in his first NFL touchdown after a 24-yard burst.
  • Postgame, Daboll emphasized a committee approach and said backfield roles will be determined week to week based on who is running well.
  • Tyrone Tracy Jr. saw fewer offensive touches with five carries for 15 yards but handled five kickoff returns for 132 yards, and Daboll rejected that the shift was disciplinary.
  • Pro Football Focus named Skattebo to its Rookie Team of the Week and credited him with a high rushing grade for his physical performance.
  • Devin Singletary drew the start but had limited work, and the distribution of snaps will be closely watched ahead of Week 3 against the Chiefs.
