Don’t try using the faulty NFL logic that all running backs are interchangeable with the Giants, who watched Skattebo suffered a gruesome season-ending dislocated ankle in Sunday’s 38-20 loss to the Eagles.
The Giants won’t be getting any more points or energy out of rookie Cam Skattebo — their leader in both categories.
Don’t try using the faulty NFL logic that all running backs are interchangeable with the Giants, who watched Skattebo suffered a gruesome season-ending dislocated ankle in Sunday’s 38-20 loss to the Eagles.
“He’s irreplaceable,” right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor said. “You can have guys that run the ball really hard, but his energy and what he brings to the table and the way he runs the ball, it’s going to be hard to replace. I just pray that he gets healthy and comes back even better next year.”
Skattebo was dragged down by Zack Baun on an incompletion and his right foot turned in the wrong direction after his cleat appeared to get caught in the grass.
Horrified teammates, including a cursing Jaxson Dart, immediately dropped to a knee and turned away from the scene as an air cast was applied before he was loaded onto the cart.
