New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo received a surprise visit to the hospital.
Philadelphia Eagles head security Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro reportedly visited Skattebo at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia on Monday after the rookie running back suffered a gruesome dislocation of his ankle during Sunday’s game.
DiSandro brought Skattebo pizza and cheesesteaks, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. DiSandro’s kind gesture followed the Eagles crowd giving Skattebo a standing ovation as he was carried off the field.

“Thank you everyone for your support!! The surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philadelphia for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with my family and friends, I felt loved and supported in every way,” Skattebo wrote.
“Thank you to the doctors, surgeons and staff who did their best on me. This is just the beginning of my journey and I can’t wait to show you everything!!! GOD has a plan for me, stay the course and everything will work itself out.”
The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State had already scored a touchdown in the team’s 38-20 loss before the injury. His style of play endeared him to fans and helped bring a spark to the team.

In eight games, Skattebo totaled 410 yards and five touchdowns on the ground while averaging just over four yards per carry. He also had 24 catches for 207 yards and two receiving touchdowns.
The Giants fell to 2-6 with their loss to the Eagles. They will count on second-year running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. to replace Skattebo.
The Giants’ next game will be against the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
