New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh announced Monday that running back Cam Skattebo will be a full participant for the team's Thursday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Skattebo missed the Giants' 19-11 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 9 due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. With fellow back Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve, the Giants relied heavily on Devin Singletary, who carried 21 times for just 31 yards (1.5 yards per carry). Despite the ground struggles, New York improved to 5-2-1.
Skattebo leads the Giants with 98 carries and 418 rushing yards this season. His season has included a costly fumble in Week 5 versus the Commanders, a game that ended in a tie, followed by a week with zero touches. He rebounded with a 124-yard, one-touchdown performance against Houston.
Harbaugh also indicated that quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who left Sunday's game with a hip pointer, is expected to play. Backup Jameis Winston directed the Giants' lone touchdown drive in the Eagles game.
