From The Insiders on @NFLNetwork: The backflip launched by Cam Skattebo nearly forced someone to call #Giants brass duri Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: A recent maneuver by Cam Skattebo nearly prompted an onlooker to contact the New York Giants front office. NFL Network reported the running back failed to cleanly stick the landing during a summer event. The stunt drew immediate concern from those in attendance.

Why it matters: Skattebo is currently rehabilitating a major leg injury suffered last year. A physical setback would jeopardize his availability for the upcoming 2026 season. Front offices typically prohibit players from engaging in high-risk activities away from team facilities during the offseason.

By the numbers: Skattebo sustained a fractured tibia and dislocated ankle during the 2025 campaign.

What to watch: Team medical staff will evaluate Skattebo ahead of 2026 training camp to ensure he avoided any structural damage.
