New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo played in his first regular-season NFL game in nearly 11 months on Sunday night, Sept. 13, scoring the team's first touchdown on a 3-yard run in a 28-20 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

His rookie season ended in Week 8 on Oct. 26, 2025, when he dislocated his right ankle during a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. ESPN reported that a source confirmed he also had an open tibia fracture and a ruptured deltoid ligament. NFL Network, as reported by NBC Sports, described the fracture as a broken fibula. ESPN reported that the bone broke through the skin, making the injury a medical emergency, and that he had surgery in Philadelphia that night instead of traveling home with the team.
