Giants’ Cam Skattebo impresses coach despite not being 100%
John Harbaugh praised running back Cam Skattebo’s skills.
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo made his preseason return for the team, impressing coach John Harbaugh despite playing through a lingering leg injury. Skattebo entered the game after recovering from a serious leg injury sustained during his rookie season. He carried the ball four times for 19 yards against the Minnesota Vikings.
Giants coach Harbaugh noted that Skattebo is not yet at full strength, but he demonstrated strong attributes that could make him valuable to the offense. Harbaugh praised Skattebo's foot quickness, feel for the game, and explosiveness. The Giants need reliable rushing production as Jaxson Dart takes over at quarterback. Skattebo's workload will be measured during the preseason to ensure his health.
Harbaugh's evaluation emphasizes Skattebo's movement and decision-making skills, not just his physical toughness. If Skattebo returns to full health, he could become an important piece of the Giants' offensive identity.
