"He was still the energetic, fiery running back who has quickly become a fan favorite because of his attitude and aggression. Skattebo suffered an open wound ankle dislocation in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field, ending his season. After his right leg was put into an air cast and he was loaded onto the cart, Skattebo still found his quarterback with an enthusiastic headbutt."
"The energy that Skattebo, along with his sidekick, Jaxson Dart, had injected into the franchise was palpable. The difference could be felt and seen with Skattebo's hardnosed, embrace-the-contact approach. It's a massive loss for the Giants in their quest for respectability. And it's equally demoralizing for the team and the fan base, who were falling in love with the attitude that Skattebo and Dart brought to the field."
