Cam Skattebo walked, albeit slowly and carefully, into the New York Giants facility on Wednesday — less than two months after his gruesome ankle dislocation.
Skattebo posted the video below to his Instagram page:
Skattebo, a rookie running back, suffered a dislocated right ankle, fractured fibula, and a ruptured ligament in a Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He had immediate surgery in Philadelphia that night because it was an open fracture.
A fourth-round pick out of Arizona State, Skattebo’s aggressive running style and his youthfully exuberant personality, combined with his talent, made him an instant fan favorite.
Skattebo gained 410 yards rushing on 101 carries (4.1 yards per carry) with five touchdowns before his injury. He is still second on the team in rushing yards behind Tyrone Tracy, who has 434.
Skattebo should be ready for training camp next season, if not before then.
“I would bet he recovers well and is back in good shape next season,” Dr. Kyle Flik,an orthopedic surgeon, recently told Big Blue View. “In general, it [an open fracture] is just a bit of a higher-risk injury than a typical ankle fracture.
“But, I’m sure he’s in good hands!”
