Cam Skattebo: I got punished for fumble and I understand why Giants did that
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Giants running back Cam Skattebo saw minimal playing time and no touches in Sunday’s loss to the Saints, which Skattebo attributed to a coaching decision as punishment for a fumble in Week 5.
- Head coach John Harbaugh denied that Skattebo was benched as a direct consequence of the fumble, stating it was not by design.
- Skattebo acknowledged his mistake, accepted the reduced role, and emphasized his commitment to being ready when called upon.
- The Giants struggled offensively, gaining only 34 yards on 14 carries from other running backs, and relied on quarterback J.J. McCarthy late in the game for a spark.
- It remains to be seen if Skattebo will receive more playing time in the upcoming Week 7 game against the Texans.
