Cowboys awaiting punishment decision from NFL after giving Cam Skattebo bloody nose
The Dallas Cowboys will be punished after an incident left New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo with a bloody nose.
The Dallas Cowboys may face a fine from the NFL following a game against the New York Giants on Sunday night. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a bloody nose during the match as a result of a pileup early in the game where a Cowboys defender appeared to grab and twist his facemask. Skattebo had to step away temporarily to have the injury addressed.
It's crucial to note that no facemask penalty was called during the game. However, a different perspective of the incident suggests Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams might have pulled Skattebo's facemask during the tackle. The NFL can still review the play, even though the officials missed the call during the game. If the league determines that there was a facemask violation, Williams could be subject to a $11,941 fine for his first offense.
Skattebo later returned to the game and was one of the Giants' most promising rookies, having had a successful college career at Arizona State. This incident could potentially become an issue for the Cowboys, even though no penalty was assessed at the time of the incident. The NFL is set to review the footage before making a final decision.
