Giants’ John Harbaugh Sends Clear Message to Cam Skattebo During Saints Loss

Cam Skattebo, the New York Giants running back, found himself with no carries during the team's Week 6 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Following the game, Giants head coach John Harbaugh delivered a clear message to Skattebo regarding the Giants' current running back situation. Pre-game reports indicated that Najee Harris would start over Skattebo, with the team employing a "running back by committee" approach.

However, Skattebo did not see any playing time in the game, marking his first time without a carry in his career. Harbaugh stated that they were seeking a standout performer in the backfield and would evaluate each player to see who could make an impact. The second half saw a transition to a no-huddle offense, during which Skattebo was not involved in any running plays.

Harbaugh emphasized that Skattebo was not intentionally benched but that the team was testing different players to find a spark in the running game. Skattebo's fumbling issues may have been a consideration in his limited playing time. His next opportunity to contribute significantly for the Giants will arise in the upcoming Week 7 game against the Houston Texans.
