New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Skattebo, who scored a touchdown earlier in the game, was the target of a Jaxson Dart pass with about 8:09 left in the second quarter. The pass was out of his reach, but as he went down, his right ankle buckled beneath him.

The former Arizona State star knew something was wrong as soon as he fell. Skattebo writhed in pain as the training team came out to tend to him.
The FOX broadcast showed Dart yelling an expletive in frustration. Giants center John Michael Schmitz Jr. put his head in his hands in disbelief. The photos showed Skattebo’s ankle pointing to the right. He was helped onto a medical cart and waved to the crowd as he was taken off the field.

New York selected Skattebo in the fourth round of the draft. He quickly earned his spot as the starting running back, providing an intense spark that gave Giants fans a glimmer of hope that their season could be saved.
Before the game, he had 398 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He also had 23 catches for 189 yards and a touchdown.
He scored the Giants’ first touchdown in the game against the Eagles. But Philadelphia’s offense had been just too much for New York by halftime.
