Rookie Cam Skattebo’s Ankle Twisted Wrong Way After Big Hit
Published
Cam Skattebo — the New York Giants breakout rookie running back who has electrified their offense — was carted off the field after a big hit seemingly left his ankle facing the wrong way.
The 23-year-old fourth-round pick out of Arizona State University took the field against the Philadelphia Eagles … and, as he was running over the middle on a passing route, when a ball came his way — and an Eagles defender dragged him down from behind.

Check out the clip … the Philly player puts all his weight down on CS — and his legs get caught underneath him as he hits the turf awkwardly.
Almost immediately, Cam’s teammates are waving over the medical staff … and it’s easy to see why at the end of the video — Skattebo’s ankle is seemingly twisted the wrong way.
Giants and Eagles players came together at midfield to show love for the injured rookie … who was then taken away via cart. There’s no official word yet on the injury — but it looks to be season-ending.
Skattebo and fellow Giants rookie Jaxson Dart have pumped life into the New York Giants this season, turning them into the talk of the NFL … though it seems Dart may be on his own for the foreseeable future.
