Cam Skattebo's injury

The running back was trying to catch a pass over the middle of the field when his right ankle was caught underneath an Eagles player. Skattebo’s right foot turned to the right that instant.

The Giants RB suffered the gruesome injury as he went for a pass in the middle of the field and got his right ankle caught under an Eagles player, leading to the dislocation, ESPN reports. He has since been taken to the hospital for evaluation. According to NJ.com, the foot was twisted so badly that it was pointing in an unnatural direction.

One doctor, Jeff Mueller, a physical therapy expert and fantasy football injury analyst, believes the season is done for the RB. “Right Ankle Dislocation + fracture concern,” Mueller posted on X. “Season done. Hopefully not too much ligament damage but always a concern for that.”

Dr. Eric Friedman, who has worked with the US ski and snowboarding teams, had the same opinion. “Cam Skattebo with an open fracture here of his tibia. He is done for the year and has multiple surgeries in his future. Will get a wash out today. If no infection, can be ready for Week 1 next season,” he wrote on X.
