5:30pm: Per Giants senior managing editor Dan Salomone, Skattebo has been diagnosed with a dislocated ankle. Skattebo has already been “scheduled to undergo surgery tonight at a local hospital in the Philadelphia area.” Unfortunately, the brutal injury looks like it could end Skattebo’s exciting rookie season just as it was starting to take off.
3:12pm: Cam Skattebo continued his impressive rookie season early in the Giants’ Week 8 game. A massive ankle injury threatens to lead to considerable missed time, however. 
Skattebo scored an 18-yard receiving touchdown early against the Eagles. Not long after, he suffered the injury and was carted off the field. Skattebo’s right ankle was in an air cast as he departed. The Giants quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the game.
A team announcement (h/t ESPN’s Adam Schefter) has since noted that Skattebo has been taken to hospital for further evaluation. The 23-year-old’s initial diagnosis is a dislocated ankle. More clarity will emerge on his status after further testing, though.
If Skattebo does wind up missing significant time, it will mark an unwanted development for team and player. The fourth-rounder has emerged as a key figure for the Giants’ offense, especially since the decision was made to hand over starting quarterback duties to fellow rookie Jaxson Dart. Skattebo recorded at least 45 rushing yards each game since Week 2 entering today, and he scored six touchdowns before Sunday’s early major. Being without him moving forward will deal a notable blow to New York’s ground game.
Of course, the Giants are already without top wideout Malik Nabers for the remainder of the campaign due to an ACL tear. His absence has hindered the team’s passing attack, creating an increased emphasis on production along the ground. Skattebo will be counted on to remain a notable contributor in that regard in the event he can return this season, but it remains to be seen if that will be the case.
In the meantime, New York will move forward with a backfield of Devin Singletary, Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray. Receiver has been named as a position to watch for the Giants ahead of the trade deadline, although a notable addition would come as a surprise given their record. Based on Skattebo’s prognosis, running back depth could also be targeted over the coming days.
Man
Dislocated ankle, serious enough to have him taken to hospital.
Skattlebo’s rookie season is over.
Gotta feel bad for him, was just starting to get well deserved attention and recognition. Oh well, hopefully ok by mid season next year
Giants had a great draft this year. Between him and Dart, the Giants’ offense was fun to watch for the first time in years.
Not a NY fan by any means, but really hoping Cam and Malik can come back at 100%
May miss extended time? He is 100% done for the year. No maybe about it. That was a nasty nasty injury
Yeah I agree, unless he can run with one of his ankles pointing in the opposite direction, he’s finished for the season.
Fannin Jr is sort of proving you wrong.
Hate to see it. Darn fine player and a treat to watch. Hope he’s not done for the year.
“If Skattebo does wind up missing significant time, it will mark an unwanted development for team and player.”
Seems like an understatement.
All of us who saw this happen live know he’s done for the year & perhaps a chunk of the next. I feel bad for him because he’s fun to watch when it doesn’t affect my Birds.
Only person that’s gonna stop cam is cam. Dude is gonna try to convince coaches he can run with one leg.
Hard for any offense going forward when you lose your WR1 and HB1 to season ending injuries before midway point of a season.
