Cam Skattebo has no carries and plays just 6 snaps in the Giants' loss to the Saints
(AP) — Cam Skattebo knew he would have his workload reduced for the New York Giants on Sunday. How much caught him a little by surprise.
East Rutherford, N.J. (AP) — New York Giants second-year running back Cam Skattebo played limited offense in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints, with no carries and only six snaps on offense, according to the Associated Press report. Skattebo was aware of the reduced workload but was caught off guard by the extent of it. The coach, John Harbaugh, explained that the decision was not to keep Skattebo off the scoresheet intentionally but to give all four backs equal playing time and a chance to shine.
The Giants' running game struggled in the first half, and the team was down by 24 points before halftime. Skattebo acknowledged his role in the Giants' struggles and vowed to work hard to regain playing time. Harbaugh stated that the team wanted to divide opportunities among the backs, but none of them have emerged as the starter yet.
