Giants RB Cam Skattebo Returns From Ankle Injury
Sep 4, 2026
Skattebo is ready to return
Giants running back Cam Skattebo is back on the field after working through a dislocated ankle. During his rehab, he says he even explored what life outside of football might look like — but now he's ready to play again, telling reporters he loves having the eyes on him.
The survivor-pick angle
A returning running back is a positive sign for New York's offense, but it's a thin thread to hang a survivor entry on. We don't have a game matchup, opponent, or spread in our database for the Giants right now, and a player just back from a brutal ankle injury is rarely a full-speed contributor in his first week back. Snap counts and workload after a dislocation often ramp up gradually, so don't overrate this news when weighing New York as a safe survivor pick. Treat Skattebo's return as a story to monitor, not a reason to burn the Giants — wait for a confirmed matchup and a favorable line before committing.
