  "account": "The New York Giants secured an overtime victory against the Houston Texans, improving their record to 4-2-1 in the season. However, the team's star running back, Cam Skattebo, suffered an injury during the overtime period. The injury occurred after Skattebo ran 42 yards, which was their penultimate play of the game. Skattebo, 24 years old at the time, was behind the Houston Texans' defense but slowed down and slid as he approached field goal range. It was not immediately evident that he had been hurt, as he managed to leave the field on his own. Skattebo then took a knee on the sideline and watched as Devin Singletary completed the game-winning 30-yard touchdown run.\n\nPost-game, Skattebo confirmed to ESPN's Dan Graziano that he felt something in his hamstring during his final carry. He acknowledged that he had taken the slide to protect himself and set the team up for a potential game-winning scenario. However, Skattebo did not offer further details about the extent of his injury, stating that \"Good thing we have a bye week.\" At the time, he was not questioned about his injured hamstring during his availability with the team. The injury status of Skattebo remains uncertain, leaving the Giants' running back depth chart in a precarious position.\n\nWith the addition of Najee Harris to the roster following a Week 7 game, the Giants now have three running backs in their 53-man roster. The current pecking order includes Cam Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary. Tyrone Tracy Jr., who scored New York's first touchdown against the Texans, exited with a hamstring injury of his own. He finished the game with 15 yards and the score on six carries. Devin Singletary handled five carries for 41 yards and also scored on a 30-yard run in regulation. Depending on the health of Skattebo and Tracy, Singletary could see increased playing time following their bye week.\n\nShould Skattebo and Tracy recover, Phil Mafah and Grant Finley, both on the practice squad, could be called up to provide additional depth at the running back position for the Giants in the weeks to come.",
