ASU football icon Cam Skattebo starts skirmish. What did Harbaugh say?
Second-year NFL RB Cam Skattebo started a skirmish in training camp with the New York Giants.
On Aug. 26, former Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo initiated a scuffle with New York Giants defensive players during training camp. Skattebo, now in his second NFL season with the Giants, found himself separated from defensive backs Greg Newsome II and Jevón Holland after a play. Edge rusher Brian Burns relayed his displeasure to coach John Harbaugh, who acknowledged Skattebo's infectious energy but noted a 15-yard penalty issued at practice.
Harbaugh cautioned that the energy was not positive, potentially leading to retaliation. Giants offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor dismissed the notion of a "BS Narrative" surrounding the incident. Skattebo, 24, gained popularity as a rookie for the Giants, rushing for 410 yards and scoring five touchdowns before suffering a season-ending injury in Week 8.
The Giants are scheduled to play their final preseason game on Aug. 28 against the Jets. Harbaugh did not comment on whether the starters would play or have to wait until the season opener on Sept. 13 against the Cowboys.
