It's a notable turnaround after he was given zero carries in last week's loss to the Saints.\n\nThe benching came after Skattebo felt something in his hamstring on his final run in overtime. The Giants' Week 8 bye apparently gave him enough time to recover, which is good news for a backfield that clearly missed him.\n\nNo further details on the severity of the hamstring issue or how the coaching staff plans to manage his workload have been reported. For now, the expectation is simple: Skattebo returns to his familiar role as the lead back when the Giants take the field against Houston.","published_at":"2026-10-25T21:34:33.259650+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cam Skattebo felt something in his hamstring on final run in OT","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cam-skattebo-felt-something-hamstring-211556252.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Cam Skattebo felt something in his hamstring on final run in OT","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/cam-skattebo-felt-something-in-his-hamstring-on-final-run-in-ot"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"Cam Skattebo expected to reprise his role as Giants' lead running back vs. Texans, per report","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cam-skattebo-giants-return-lead-running-back-vs-texans/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Sources: Skattebo expected to resume role as Giants' lead RB vs. Texans","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50268018/sources-cam-skattebo-expected-giants-lead-rb"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Giants RB Cam Skattebo Responds to New Development After Getting Benched","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/giants-rb-cam-skattebo-responds-222208518.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Report: Cam Skattebo will resume role as Giants' starting RB","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/report-cam-skattebo-resume-role-115008870.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cam Skattebo expected to return to Giants' lead back role vs. Texans after benching","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cam-skattebo-expected-return-giants-132809493.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Week 7 update shows why Giants’ Cam Skattebo fantasy managers shouldn’t give up on him just yet","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/week-7-shows-why-giants-145712650.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Cam Skattebo injury update after Giants RB feels something in hamstring","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cam-skattebo-injury-giants-rb-234951168.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/370eb5f/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F386%2F106%2Fnbc_pft_showme_261023.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
