What happened: New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo downplayed health concerns after failing to land a backflip on Saturday. The offseason Fanatics Fest stunt ended with him appearing to land awkwardly on his surgically repaired right ankle. Skattebo later stated he is perfectly fine following the incident.

Why it matters: The maneuver drew immediate scrutiny because of the severity of his previous leg injury. New York is currently preparing for the 2026 season with Skattebo projected to handle a significant role in their backfield. A setback would hamper a Giants team projected for over seven wins this season.

By the numbers: The running back is months removed from suffering a dislocated ankle, fractured tibia and torn ligament in his right leg.

What to watch: Skattebo is expected to participate when the Giants open their 2026 training camp later this offseason.
