New York Giants Keep Faith in Cam Skattebo

Coach Harbaugh Defends His Running Back

After spotting a video of Cam Skattebo attempting a backflip while still recovering from a dislocated ankle, Giants head coach John Harbaugh chose not to erupt. Instead, he offered a reassuring line that “Skat’s gonna be ready to go” for training camp. Harbaugh admitted he hadn’t yet spoken with the second‑year back about the incident, but he praised Skattebo’s effort. “He’s been working super‑hard. He’s really been training like crazy, and his mind is on camp,” Harbaugh said. “He’s healthy. He’s ready to roll, and I can’t wait to see him out there at practice.”

Skattebo Sends Message About His Recovery

Skattebo addressed the online furor sparked by the failed flip with a straightforward pledge: “I will not hurt myself before the season.” The fourth‑round pick of the 2025 draft had previously posted solid numbers, averaging 4.1 yards per carry across eight games before his latest injury. His statement reflects a cautious approach to getting back on the field. The Giants see his mindset as a positive sign for the upcoming camp. Skattebo’s vow is already shaping expectations for his role next season.

Giants Expect Backfield Duo of Skattebo and Tracy

General manager Joe Webb’s roster moves have signaled confidence in the tandem of Skattebo and Tyrone Tracy as the core of the Giants’ ground attack. The coaching staff is already sketching out plays that leverage Skattebo’s receiving skill and Tracy’s steady load‑carrying. If both stay healthy, the running game could become a staple of New York’s offensive identity. The team’s confidence is tied to the depth this duo provides. Fans will be watching closely to see if the investment pays off.
