New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo's season-ending injuries included not only a dislocated ankle but also a fibula fracture and deltoid ligament rupture, NFL Network reported Wednesday.
Skattebo sustained the injuries to his lower right leg midway through the second quarter in Sunday's 28-20 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
He was transported to a Philadelphia-area hospital and underwent surgery before being discharged on Monday. The team placed him on injured reserve on Tuesday.
'He's got a road ahead of him,' Giants coach Brian Daboll said Monday. 'I'm not going to get into the particulars, but (surgery) all went well. He's recovering, and obviously he'll be missed, but on the road to recovery.'
According to Wednesday's report, Skattebo's injuries have a six-month recovery period, meaning he could still be ready for team OTAs and minicamp.
Skattebo, 23, posted on X on Monday afternoon, expressing gratitude to those who reached out and helped him.
'Thank you everyone for the support,' Skattebo posted. 'Surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philly for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way. Thank you to the doctors, surgeons, and staff that did their best work on me. This is just the beginning of my journey and I can't wait to show you guys all about it!!! GOD has a plan for me, stick the course and it will all work itself out. BRB (be right back).'
New York selected Skattebo in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft out of Arizona State.
He had 101 carries for 410 yards and five touchdowns in eight games (five starts). He also caught 24 passes for 207 yards and two TDs.
