The rookie running back first felt the issue late in the Week 7 win over the Texans and still has not returned to practice.
Cam Skattebo missed practice again as his hamstring injury lingers past the Giants' bye week. The running back said he felt something go near the end of New York's Week 7 win over the Texans, and it has kept him sidelined since.
With Skattebo's timeline uncertain, the Giants appear to be shopping for backfield help ahead of the NFL trade deadline. The team has been linked to bigger names like Jonathan Taylor and Derrick Henry, though a smaller, more modest deal also remains possible.
Whatever direction New York goes, the need is clear. An injury that was supposed to be a bye-week footnote has turned into a real problem for a Giants offense that leaned on Skattebo as a key piece of its running game. Until he is back on the field, the front office will keep weighing its options at the position.
