Skattebo Misses Practice With Hamstring Injury
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo skipped Wednesday's practice ahead of a Sunday game against the Eagles.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Football
Cam Skattebo did not participate in New York Giants practice on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Eagles in doubt. Skattebo felt something in his hamstring during a long run against the Texans, and he also missed Monday's practice.
Why it matters
Skattebo rushed for 124 yards against the Texans, his first 100-yard game, making his availability a key question for the Giants' offense. The Giants, at 4-2-1 and leading the NFC East, face a road test in Philadelphia.
Skattebo's 124 rushing yards against Houston marked his first 100-yard game, while the Giants sit at 4-2-1 atop the NFC East. The official injury report, expected later Wednesday, will clarify his status for Sunday.
The players

New York Giants
National Football League franchise based in East Rutherford, New Jersey, currently leading the NFC East.

Timeline
Monday, Nov. 3, 2026: Skattebo did not participate in practice after the Giants returned from their bye.
Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026: Skattebo and linebacker Abdul Carter did not participate in practice.
Sunday, Nov. 8, 2026: The Giants face the Eagles in Philadelphia.
Season Trajectory
The Giants enter the matchup with a 4-2-1 record and a share of the NFC East lead, making depth at running back a central factor in the division race. Tyrone Tracy Jr.'s placement on injured reserve for at least four games further tests the team's backfield options.
Fantasy managers relying on Skattebo should monitor the Wednesday injury report before setting lineups for Sunday. Tracy Jr.'s absence means the Giants' backfield rotation will be the key variable to watch in the coming weeks.
The takeaway
Skattebo's availability will shape how the Giants approach their road game in Philadelphia, a stadium where they have not won since 2013. Watch the official injury report to see whether he is cleared to play.
What happens next
The Giants will release an official injury report later Wednesday, and Sunday's game against the Eagles in Philadelphia will determine Skattebo's availability.
