Cam Skattebo Starts Training Camp Scuffle With Giants Teammates: Report
Giants running back Cam Skattebo initiated a scuffle with members of the team's secondary during training camp practice.
During a training camp practice on Wednesday, New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo sparked a scuffle with several team members in the secondary, according to insiders. Following a reception, Skattebo slid carelessly, nearly colliding with multiple defensive backs, as reported by Pat Leonard of the NY Daily News Sports. Greg Newsome and Jevon Holland were among those displeased, which led to the situation escalating between Skattebo and Newsome.
Earlier this week, Skattebo had also collided with linebacker Zaire Barnes when the defense was not engaged.
Giants head coach John Harbaugh addressed the incident at practice, noting Skattebo's infectious energy. Harbaugh said, "He got a 15-yard penalty at the end of practice. Did you see that? Yeah, it’s infectious. It can be infectious the other way, an infectious disease type of thing. We want it to be in a positive way."
Skattebo is returning for his second NFL season after recovering from a severe leg injury during his rookie year. Prior to his season-ending injury in Week 8, the former fourth-round draft pick amassed 410 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, 207 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. The Giants' regular-season opener is scheduled for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys on September 13.
