Cam Skattebo is back in the Giants lineup for Thursday night’s clash against the Commanders, and he’s not sweating the fact that his team completely punted on adding more running backs at the deadline. After missing Week 9 with a hamstring injury, Skattebo was a full participant at Tuesday’s practice, signaling he’s ready to prove exactly why the Giants stayed put.
Giants’ Deadline Silence and Skattebo’s Confidence
Everyone was buzzing, right? The Giants were reportedly making moves, even bidding for Jonathan Taylor at one point, and were definitely linked to other potential additions in the backfield. But the deadline came and went, and they stood pat. No new running back came to town. Skattebo understands why some fans might be “skeptical” about the team’s running back depth after all that, but he wasn’t bothered one bit by the Giants’ reported interest in other players. He knows something the skeptics might be missing.
Skattebo’s Bold Claim and What He Needs To Prove
Why wasn’t he bothered? Because, as he put it so directly, “they know what I can do.” Speaking on Tuesday, Skattebo didn’t hold back, laying out exactly what he believes he brings to the field. “You’ve seen what I can do,” he stated, adding, “When I come out and I’m ready to play football, I can be one of the most dangerous backs in the league. Simple as that.” That’s some serious talk from a guy who’s averaging around 60 rushing yards per game this season.
So, Thursday night against the Commanders isn’t just another game. It’s Skattebo’s chance to back up that talk and show everyone, especially those skeptical fans, exactly why the Giants felt so confident standing pat at the deadline. The ball’s in his hands.
