New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a gruesome ankle injury Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Skattebo, who scored a touchdown earlier in the game, was targeted on a pass from Jaxson Dart with about 8:09 left in the second quarter. The pass was out of his reach, but as he went down, his right ankle buckled under him.

The former Arizona State standout knew something was wrong as soon as he went down. Skattebo writhed in pain as the training staff came out to attend to him.
The FOX broadcast showed Dart shouting an exclamation in frustration. Giants center John Michael Schmitz Jr. put her head in his hands in disbelief. Pictures showed Skattebo’s ankle pointing to the right. He was helped onto a medical cart and waved to the crowd as he was taken off the field.
