Giants RB Cam Skattebo Says Shoulder Issue Won't Keep Him Out of Week 5

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 9

Summary

  • Cam Skattebo said Friday he expects to play Sunday against Washington, downplaying the shoulder issue that limited him in practice this week.
  • The Giants running back said the problem was only muscle tightness that has eased, and that the no-contact jersey he wore earlier in the week was a precaution.
  • His reassurance matters for a Giants offense already hit by injuries, with quarterback Jaxson Dart and receiver Malik Nabers both having missed time this season.
  • Through 4 games, Skattebo has 235 rushing yards, 1 touchdown and is averaging 3.5 yards per carry as New York leads the NFC East.
