Coach Harbaugh just wanted to see Cam Skattebo land the backflip 😂 More: https://t.co/ryykGmSljj https://t.co/AmIMtb53d Via @espn on X

What happened: New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh addressed Cam Skattebo's botched backflip at Fanatics Fest, joking that the running back needed to 'stick it' if he attempted the stunt. Skattebo recently stumbled on his surgically repaired right ankle during an entrance at the New York City event.

Why it matters: Skattebo is recovering from a serious ankle injury sustained during his 2025 rookie season, making the stunt a temporary scare for the organization. Harbaugh had previously issued a 'no backflips' policy for minicamp after the player landed one at a celebrity softball game in May.

What to watch: Harbaugh expressed confidence in Skattebo's recovery, noting the running back has been training heavily and will be ready for the start of training camp.
