Giants Making Big Cam Skattebo Change for Saints Game
The New York Giants are downgrading running back Cam Skattebo as he continues to struggle early on during this season.
The New York Giants are set to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in their Week 6 matchup. Following their recent tie with the Washington Commanders, the Giants aim to secure a win against the Saints. In preparation for the game, the Giants are making a substantial lineup adjustment involving Cam Skattebo, as reported by ESPN's Jordan Raanan.
The team is expected to reduce Skattebo's role and increase the involvement of running back Najee Harris. Despite this change, Skattebo is likely to remain active in the game, according to Raanan. This decision appears to be a strategic move by the Giants, considering Skattebo's challenging season. He has suffered four fumbles this season, including one in overtime against the Commanders, which proved to be costly.
Skattebo has made five appearances for the Giants this season, contributing one touchdown, 81 rushes, and 294 rushing yards. In contrast, last season, he had five touchdowns, 101 rushes, and 410 rushing yards in eight games.
