Heads to IR, season over
New York placed Skattebo (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: After dislocating his right ankle in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Eagles, Skattebo underwent season-ending surgery hours later, with head coach Brian Daboll relaying that "all went well" with the operation, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com. Skattebo has been discharged from the hospital and is able to begin rehabbing right away, but he's without a specific timeline for a return and may not be back to 100 percent health by the start of the 2026 campaign. The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State had…read more

Undergoes successful surgery
Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Skattebo's ankle procedure "all went well" and that the rookie running back is "on the road to recovery," Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Daboll declined to go into any further detail about Skattebo's procedure or disclose an expected timetable for his recovery, per Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press. The rookie fourth-round pick suffered a dislocated right ankle during New York's loss to the Eagles in Week 8, for which he had to be carted off the field and transported to a local hospital. While it's encouraging that the procedure to repair Skattebo's injured ankle was successful, it remains to be seen whether he could have a…read more

Dislocated ankle confirmed
Skattebo suffered a dislocated right ankle during Sunday's contest at Philadelphia and was transported to a local hospital to be evaluated further, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: With a diagnosis now known for the gruesome right ankle injury he sustained in the second quarter that required an air cast to stabilize and a cart to get off the field, Skattebo is out indefinitely and likely for the rest of the campaign. The rookie fourth-round pick will yield New York's backfield to Tyrone Tracy moving forward.

Carted off with foot injury
Skattebo was carted off the field during Sunday's game at Philadelphia due to a right foot injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. He gained 12 yards on three carries and recorded an 18-yard touchdown reception prior to his departure.
Analysis: Per Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Skattebo's right foot was bent the wrong way at the end of a Jaxson Dart incompletion to the running back in the middle of the second quarter. Tyrone Tracy will take over as the Giants' lead back for the rest of the contest.

Scores first receiving TD of career
Skattebo rushed 16 times for 60 yards and caught three of six targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-32 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Skattebo followed up the first multi-score game of his career with his first trip to the end zone as a receiver through seven pro appearances. The bruising tailback had actually been fairly active in the pass game prior to Sunday's touchdown catch, averaging 3.3 receptions and 25.8 receiving yards in the previous six games. Skattebo did finish below 4.0 yards per carry for the third time this season, but he is still commanding the lion's share of touches out of the Giants' backfield. Fantasy…read more

Breaks out for three TDs in win
Skattebo rushed 19 times for 98 yards and three touchdowns and brought in both targets for 12 yards in the Giants' 34-17 win over the Eagles on Thursday night.
Analysis: Backfield mate Tyrone Tracy returned from a two-game absence due to a shoulder injury, but Skattebo helped make the latter's availability a non-issue with his stellar play. The rookie was responsible for each of the Giants' last three touchdowns, recording a four-yard scoring run late in the first half and then going into the end zone from one yard out in both the third and fourth quarters. Skattebo also set a new single-game career high in rushing yards with Thursday's performance, and he…read more

Could share work with Tracy
Skattebo will have more competition for playing time with Tyrone Tracy cleared to return from a shoulder injury for Thursday's game against the Eagles.
Analysis: Over the past three weeks, Skattebo averaged a 67.9 percent snap share, 16.7 carries and 5.7 targets per game, producing 315 total yards (105 per game) and a touchdown in the process. His workload projection declines with Tracy back in the lineup, but to what extent is unclear. Back in Week 2, when Tracy was healthy, Skattebo played 53 percent of snaps and took 13 touches for 59 yards and a TD in an overtime loss at Dallas (Tracy had five carries and five targets on a 42 percent snap share).…read more

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Skattebo carried the ball 15 times for 59 yards and caught six of seven targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The rookie RB topped 100 scrimmage yards for the second time in the last three games, but Skattebo's performance was marred by a lost fumble in the red zone that New Orleans safety Jordan Howden returned 86 yards for a TD -- the third of five straight Giant possessions that ended in a turnover. Skattebo is locking down the top job in the New York backfield while Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) is sidelined, and over those last three contests he's racked up 315 scrimmage yards and a rushing touchdown.…read more

Huge volume in win over Bolts
Skattebo carried the ball 25 times for 79 yards and caught both his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers. He also ran for a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The rookie RB become the focal point of the Giants offense with Jaxson Dart getting his first career NFL start under center and Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) sidelined, with Skattebo's 27 touches representing a huge increase on the career-high 16 he got last week. That volume on the ground came in a contest that New York led from its opening possession, however, a game script that may not be repeated too often in 2025.

Set for lead role
Skattebo will serve as the Giants' No. 1 RB on Sunday against the Chargers after the Giants officially ruled out Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) on Friday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Skattebo took advantage Week 3 against the Chiefs following Tracy's exit in the first quarter due to a dislocated right shoulder, with the rookie turning 10 carries into 60 yards and one touchdown and gathering in six of eight targets for 61 yards. With Tracy likely set for a multi-week absence, Skattebo will be the Giants' priority backfield option as rookie first-round pick Jaxson Dart gets his initial foray as an NFL starting quarterback.

Looks good as lead back
Skattebo rushed the ball 10 times for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-9 loss to the Chiefs. He added six receptions on eight targets for 61 yards.
Analysis: Skattebo was expected to handle more work in Week 3, and he was forced into the lead-back role after Tyrone Tracy (shoulder) departed in the first quarter. Skattebo went on to be one of the few bright spots for the Giants, as he tallied their only touchdown of the game late in the second quarter on a 13-yard run. He was also a primary target in the short areas of the field, leading the team in targets, receptions and yards. The extent of Tracy's injury is unclear, but Skattebo's performance…read more

Should see role grow in Week 3
Skattebo is expected to handle an increased role in Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Giants head coach Brian Daboll hasn't confirmed that Skattebo will be in line for an uptick in opportunity in Week 3, though that would seem to be a logical conclusion after the rookie handily outperformed fellow backs Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary in the 40-37 overtime loss to Dallas in Week 2. Skattebo didn't start but still led the trio in snaps (35, 52 percent share) while carrying 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown to go with two catches for 14 yards on three targets. Though he'll…read more

Scores first career TD in OT loss
Skattebo carried the ball 11 times for 45 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 40-37 overtime loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: The 2025 fourth-round pick made a big statement in his second NFL game, producing a TD nearly single-handedly in the fourth quarter with a 24-yard run to the one-yard line before punching home his first career score. Skattebo provides a punishing, physical presence in the Giants' backfield that Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary lack, and while Tracy should continue to be the team's primary option on passing downs, the rookie made a strong case Sunday to be New York's first choice on running…read more

Minimal involvement in debut
Skattebo rushed twice for minus-3 yards and caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick struggled in his NFL debut, but there are a couple silver linings to be found in this forgettable performance. Skattebo got a chance by the goal line with a carry from the 1-yard line in the second quarter, though he lost a yard on the play, and lead back Tyrone Tracy didn't exactly separate from the pack with just 24 yards on 10 carries. The 219-pound Skattebo could eventually emerge as the short-yardage back over the 210-pound Tracy, and Skattebo showed promise as…read more

Takes three carries in pro debut
Skattebo took three carries for 12 yards in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Making his preseason debut after a hamstring injury cost him a few weeks, Skattebo got the start on a night when Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary were among the many players rested. Skattebo played the first two drives and gained four yards on each of his three carries before calling it a night. Tracy appears to be the starter for Week 1 against Washington, with both Skattebo and Singletary candidates for roles off the bench. All the missed time during training camp and the preseason killed…read more

Dressed for Thursday's game
Skattebo is suited up ahead of Thursday's preseason contest versus the Patriots, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The Giants invested a fourth-round pick in Skattebo during the 2025 NFL Draft, and he was impressing as a receiver out of the backfield early on in training camp before sustaining a hamstring injury in practice on Aug. 1. He proceeded to miss the team's first two exhibitions before getting back on the field Tuesday, when he logged team drills. New York isn't expected to make many of its starters available Thursday, but if Skattebo suits up, he'll have his first in-game opportunity to push Devin…read more

Taking part in team drills
Skattebo (hamstring) is participating in team drills Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Skattebo already appears to be a full participant in his return to practice, a welcome payoff after the Giants took a cautious approach to his recovery from a hamstring strain and kept him sidelined for the first two preseason games. The rookie fourth-rounder's final chance to log exhibition reps will come Thursday versus New England, and putting together a strong performance would significantly aid Skattebo's chances of pushing veteran incumbent Devin Singletary for backfield reps behind…read more

Skattebo (hamstring) is expected to return to practice Tuesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Skattebo's hamstring injury forced him to miss the Giants' first two preseason games, and with a quick turnaround before Thursday's exhibition finale against the Patriots, it remains to be seen whether the rookie fourth-round pick will have a chance to suit up. Per Evan Barnes of Newsday, coach Brian Daboll hinted that Skattebo will be limited in his return to practice Tuesday. Tyrone Tracy has dominated first-team reps throughout training camp and appears destined to kick off the regular…read more

Sits out preseason opener
Skattebo (hamstring) didn't play in New York's preseason win against Buffalo on Saturday.
Analysis: It's no surprise that Skattebo didn't suit up, as he's been dealing with a hamstring issue for over a week. An MRI on Skattebo's hamstring early in the week showed promising results, so the hope is still that the rookie fourth-round pick will be able to see preseason action at some point. Tyrone Tracy is essentially a lock to be New York's starting running back to open the campaign, and while veteran Devin Singletary is listed as the No. 2 RB on the team's initial depth chart, per Dan Salomone…read more

Optimistic MRI results
Head coach Brian Daboll said Monday that the MRI on Skattebo's (hamstring) leg yielded optimistic results, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Daboll added that all of the Giants' injured players are getting better, casting a wide net that includes Skattebo. Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary have been splitting first-team snaps in training camp, though Skattebo had been making a push to join them prior to his injury. Despite the positive update from Daboll, Skattebo may be held out of Saturday's preseason opener against Buffalo.

Day-to-day with hamstring injury
Head coach Brian Daboll told reporters that Skattebo is considered day-to-day with a hamstring injury and will not practice Saturday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Skattebo suffered the injury during Friday's training camp practice. While he's labeled as day-to-day, the rookie fourth-rounder is in danger of missing the Giants' preseason opener against the Bills on Aug. 9. He's been receiving the bulk of backup reps behind Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary during the first weeks of training camp. With Skattebo and Eric Gray (undisclosed) sidelined, Dante Miller will have the opportunity to see an uptick in reps with the second-team offense.

Exits practice with trainer
Skattebo left Friday's practice early and went inside with the training staff, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The rookie reportedly made a good impression during the first week of camp, especially with his pass catching, but he's been a limited participant during the second week while seemingly faced with a minor injury, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. It's unclear if Skattebo's early exit Friday is related to the issue that limited his practice participation the previous few days. Early reports out of camp suggest he's mostly worked with backups, while Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary have gotten most of…read more

Impressing as pass catcher in camp
Skattebo has turned heads in training camp, "doing a lot of his damage catching the ball out of the backfield," Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Raanan notes that Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary have gotten "almost all" of the first-team reps so far during camp but suggests that Skattebo eventually could get more work with the starting unit if he continues to play well. New York is still in the very early part of camp -- Monday's practice was the team's first in pads -- but Skattebo already has made an impression, including by catching a touchdown pass from fellow rookie Jaxson Dart in the right corner of the end zone to conclude…read more
