Cam Skattebo will return to the Giants’ lineup for Thursday night’s game against the Commanders, and he won’t be looking over his shoulder at any new additions to the team’s depth chart.
The Giants were reportedly bidders for Jonathan Taylor at one point and were linked to other potential moves behind the scenes, but they held off on the deadline. Skattebo said Tuesday that he understands why some would be “skeptical” that the Giants have enough to bring back, citing his average of about 60 yards per game, but that he wasn’t concerned by any interest the Giants had in other backs because “they know what I can do.”
“You have seen what can i do“When I come out and I’m ready to play football, I can be one of the most dangerous running backs in the league,” Skattebo said, via Darryl Slater of NJ.com. How simple.”
Skattebo was up to full participation in practice Tuesday after missing Week 9 with a hamstring injury, so he should get every opportunity to prove himself right about what he’s capable of doing for the Giants’ offense.
