Skattebo (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Skattebo was able to manage one limited practice (Friday) this week, and while head coach John Harbaugh told Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post that the Giants are "keeping the door open" for the running back to play in Week 9, his official listing implies it's more likely just ajar. In any case, if Skattebo ends up sitting out Sunday, Devin Singletary likely will serve as New York's lead runner, with Greg Desrosiers and potentially practice-squad members Eric Gray and Phil Mafah in line for work behind him.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Has chance to play Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo (hamstring) didn't practice Friday, but the Giants are "keeping the door open" for the running back to play Sunday at Philadelphia, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Skattebo wasn't able to practice this week due to the hamstring injury that he sustained near the end of the Giants' last game in Week 7 at Houston. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Friday morning that Skattebo was trending toward sitting out in Week 9, but Harbaugh's comments run contrary to that. It appears as if Skattebo will be listed as something other than 'out' once the team posts its final practice report of the week Friday afternoon.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Not doing much at Friday's practice
Rotowire
Skattebo (hamstring) was in uniform but not participating at the start of Friday's practice, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
It remains to be seen if Skattebo will do enough to get a 'limited' designation. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport already reported that Skattebo is unlikely to play Sunday at Philadelphia. That leaves Devin Singletary as the probable starter and possible three-down workhorse, backed by only undrafted rookie Greg Desrosiers on the active roster (Eric Gray and Phil Mafah are on the practice squad).

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Seemingly out for Week 9
Rotowire
"It does not seem" that Skattebo (hamstring) will play Sunday against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
A hamstring injury sustained prior to the Giants' Week 8 bye prevented Skattebo from practicing both Wednesday and Thursday, and although he will have one more chance to get some work in before game designations are determined, it appears the injury will keep him off the field for Week 9.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Remains sidelined at practice
Rotowire
Skattebo (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Coming out of New York's Week 8 bye, Skattebo hasn't been able to practice this week due to the hamstring injury that he suffered near the end of a Week 7 win at Houston. Friday's injury report will reveal his odds to suit up Sunday at Philadelphia, but if Skattebo is inhibited or sidelined, Devin Singletary is the next player up in the Giants backfield, Greg Desrosiers is the only other RB on the active roster, and Eric Gray and Phil Mafah are candidates to be elevated from the practice squad.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Does not practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Skattebo (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
The Giants are preparing for the Eagles coming off of their bye, and Skattebo was not available to practice as the week got underway. Skattebo tweaked his hamstring on his last carry of the game against the Texans in Week 7. His status in practice the remainder of the week will be crucial given the Giants' shorthandedness in the backfield. Devin Singletary and Greg Desrosiers are the healthy options on-hand beyond Skattebo.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Skattebo (hamstring) didn't take part in Wednesday's practice and instead was seen working with a trainer on the side, Jordan Raanan of ESPN reports.
Skattebo tweaked his hamstring on his final carry during a Week 7 win at Houston, but even with the benefit of a Week 8 bye, he's kicking off Week 9 prep with a DNP. Head coach John Harbaugh told Raanan on Monday that Skattebo may be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest at Philadelphia, but he likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to put himself at least in that position. At the moment, Devin Singletary and Greg Desrosiers are the Giants' healthy backfield options.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Expected to be OK after hamstring tweak
Rotowire
Skattebo is expected to "OK" after tweaking his hamstring on a 42-yard run in overtime during Sunday's 27-21 win over the Texans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Skattebo's explosive run put the Giants within field-goal range before he was subbed out for Devin Singeltary, who ran up the middle for a 30-yard score to seal the win on the very next play. Though he told Dan Graziano of ESPN.com after the game that he "felt something" in his hamstring that prompted him to slide down at the end of his run rather than being tackled to the ground, Skattebo doesn't sound like he'll require an MRI and should be ready to play in the Giants' next game Nov. 8 versus the Eagles following a Week 8 bye. After being limited to just six snaps in the Week 6 loss to the Saints following a string of poor outings to begin the campaign, Skattebo stepped back into a lead role out of the backfield in Sunday's victory and delivered his best performance of the season, finishing with 121 total yards and a touchdown on 18 touches.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Suffers hamstring injury
Rotowire
Skattebo told Dan Graziano of ESPN after Sunday's 27-21 overtime win at Houston that he "felt something in his hamstring" during his final carry of the game.
One week removed from not receiving a touch while playing six offensive snaps in a loss to the Saints, Skattebo was back in the saddle in the Giants backfield this Sunday, turning 17 rushes into 124 yards and one touchdown and gathering in his only target for minus-3 yards. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy (hamstring) combined for 15 touches in Week 7. Both Skattebo and Tracy emerged from this contest with health concerns, but with a Week 8 bye on tap for New York, both players will have time to rest up for the team's next game Sunday, Nov. 8 in Philadelphia.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Slated to resume role as RB1
Rotowire
Skattebo is expected to resume his role as the Giants' lead running back in Sunday's game at Houston, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Skattebo ranked fourth in offensive snaps (six of 77) among Giants running backs behind Devin Singletary (31), Tyrone Tracy (29) and Najee Harris (11) last Sunday against the Saints, failing to log a touch in the process. The team has since released Harris, and Skattebo's brief benching appears to be over. It's unclear who among Skattebo, SIngletary and Tracy will get the start this Sunday, but the former did average 18.2 touches per game through the first five weeks of the campaign.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Zero touches in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Skattebo played only six snaps and got zero carries or targets in the Giants' 34-27 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
One week after losing a key fumble in a 27-27 tie to the Commanders, Skattebo was removed from his starting job as the Giants' backfield devolved into a four-man committee. Tyrone Tracy was the team's most productive back, scoring one rushing and one receiving TD but managing just 45 scrimmage yards on eight touches, while Devin Singletary had 33 yards on five touches and Najee Harris eked out just two rushing yards on four carries. With no one really stepping up in his place, Skattebo could return to a more significant role in Week 7 against the Texans, but it will be hard to trust any New York RB in fantasy lineups until one of them emerges from the pack.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Could be headed for lighter workload
Rotowire
Skattebo had a "pretty even split in reps" this week with fellow running back Najee Harris and could be in store for fewer snaps and touches than usual in Sunday's game against the Saints, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Coming off a significant ankle injury that cut short his rookie season, Skattebo has handled a lead role out of the New York backfield through the first five games, playing no fewer than 57 percent of snaps on any occasion while averaging 18.2 touches per contest. The second-year back hasn't shown the same burst he displayed in 2025, however, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and 7.9 yards per reception while finding the end zone only once. Perhaps more troublingly, Skattebo has struggled with ball security, fumbling four times and losing one. As a result of Skattebo's poor form to begin the season, the Giants may be compelled to lighten his workload Sunday and open up more opportunities for Harris compared to previous weeks.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Loses key fumble in Week 5 tie
Rotowire
Skattebo rushed 13 times for 59 yards and caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 27-27 tie against the Commanders. He also lost a fumble.
After a quiet performance in regulation, Skattebo saved his best and worst moments for overtime. He racked up 40 of his 71 scrimmage yards in OT, but Skattebo fumbled on Washington's 24-yard line as the Giants were in range for a potential game-winning field-goal attempt. That mistake was matched by a clock-management error on the other end, which prevented the Commanders from attempting a game-winning field goal of their own prior to the end of OT. Skattebo will be motivated to atone for his fumble in Week 6 against the Saints' leaky run defense.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Skattebo (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Skattebo was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a shoulder injury, which he touched on Friday when he told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he dealt with a "little muscle tightness." With his status now not in question for Week 5, Skattebo will continue to operate as the Giants' lead runner, as he's turned his 76 touches into 302 yards from scrimmage and one TD in four contests this season.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Skattebo was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Skattebo has yet to hit 100 rushing yards in a game this season and currently is sitting on 302 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD on 76 touches through four contests. As the Giants kick off prep for a Week 5 road matchup with the Commanders, he's dealing with a health concern and likely will need to practice fully Thursday or Friday in order to avoid a designation ahead of the weekend.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Held in check in Week 4 win
Rotowire
Skattebo carried the ball 18 times for 58 yards and caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 36-24 win over the Cardinals.
The second-year back failed to top 60 rushing yards for a third straight game, but at least in Week 3 he was able to add a 3-40-0 line through the air. Skattebo hasn't gotten into the end zone since the Giants' opener, and through four contests he has 302 scrimmage yards while averaging a disappointing 3.5 yards per carry. He'll try to get going on the ground in a Week 5 road clash with the Commanders.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Stymied in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
Skattebo rushed 12 times for 36 yards and brought in all four targets for 19 yards in the Giants' 28-6 loss to the Rams on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by New York.
Jaxson Dart's first-half exit due to a knee injury naturally put a damper on the Giants offense as a whole, and Skattebo unsurprisingly faced more stringent fronts than he otherwise would have had Dart been in the game. Skattebo did have a solid passing game role as New York trailed throughout, but with Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reporting Dart has been diagnosed with an MCL sprain, it's possible the second-year back may play at least Sunday's Week 3 home matchup against the Titans without his talented teammate.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Briefly weighed retirement after injury
Rotowire
Skattebo admitted Thursday in an appearance on FanDuel TV's "Up & Adams" that he briefly considered retirement after sustaining a severe right ankle injury in an Oct. 26 loss to the Eagles. "I would say probably a month in [to the rehab process] I was kind of like, 'Do I really want to do this?'" Skattebo said. "But I got to go back and play."
Skattebo told Kay Adams that coming out of college, he had determined that if he ever suffered a major injury, he would step away from football. However, after dislocating his right ankle just eight games into his rookie season, Skattebo determined that he still had too much good football left in him to justify an early retirement. Skattebo underwent surgery a day after suffering the injury and has bounced back well, as the Giants cleared him to take part in drills during June minicamp and made him available with no restrictions to begin training camp. After carrying four times for 19 yards in the Giants' preseason opener, Skattebo didn't play in either of the final two exhibitions, but he was held out merely as precaution. Skattebo is still likely to have his workload scaled back to some degree to begin the 2026 campaign after averaging 19.5 touches per game from Weeks 2 through 7 last season, but he'll head into the Sept. 13 opener versus the Cowboys as the Giants' clear lead option out of the backfield.

Giants' Cam Skattebo: Backfield getting crowded
Rotowire
Skattebo gained more competition for snaps and touches Tuesday when the Giants signed Najee Harris, as reported by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
New York already seemed to be leaning toward a backfield committee with Skattebo, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary all working with the offensive starters during the team's preseason opener last Saturday, but Harris potentially adds another running back to the mix once he proves he's fully recovered from an Achilles tear. Skattebo remains at the top of the depth chart, but given his own health concerns after his rookie season was cut short by an ankle injury that required surgery, his workload could be scaled back from 20.8 touches per game he averaged in the five weeks before getting hurt.
Skattebo (ankle) is participating in team drills at Tuesday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
After doing individual work at Monday's minicamp practice, Skattebo graduated to 11-on-11 work Tuesday, suggesting he's at or near 100 percent health coming off ankle surgery. Already seen doing standing back flips this offseason, Skattebo seems ready to roll for the start of training camp next month. He's expected to have a leg up on Tyrone Tracy for the top job in the Giants' backfield under new coach John Harbaugh and OC Matt Nagy.
