Injury Updates from Giants Camp
Giants head coach John Harbaugh addressed the early departure of running back Cam Skattebo from Friday’s session, noting that the incident stemmed from a collision with rookie linebacker Arvell Reese. The collision forced Skattebo to leave the field before completing his drills.
Skattebo’s right ankle had previously been dislocated, ending his rookie campaign, and while the current setback is classified as minor, the coaching staff is monitoring his workload as he rebuilds football shape after rehabilitation.
Skattebo’s Recovery Path
Harbaugh emphasized that the team’s approach to each player’s recovery is methodical, allowing them to progress at a pace that safeguards long‑term health while keeping the competitive window open. Skattebo is currently working through his football shape post‑rehab, focusing on incremental exposure to full‑speed drills and strength conditioning.
Schmitz and Burns’s Status
Center John Michael Schmitz also left the session after appearing to be “bell‑rung,” and he will undergo a standard evaluation to determine the extent of any concussion symptoms. Defensive end Brian Burns was seen managing a slight ankle tweak, a condition that the coaching staff described as non‑serious but one that will keep him under observation.
Both Schmitz and Burns are expected to follow individualized protocols that align with league‑mandated return‑to‑play procedures, ensuring that their recoveries do not compromise future availability.
