New York Giants running back Cameron Skattebo addresses a viral video of him attempting a backflip at Fanatics Fest and nearly wiping out on stage. Multiple outlets report the clip showed Skattebo landing awkwardly during the attempt, prompting concern among fans about his right ankle. The incident comes after a serious injury that sidelined him for much of the 2025 regular season, tied by one outlet to a dislocated ankle and a tibia fracture, and described by others as a surgically repaired, newly healed ankle.
Skattebo publicly downplays the scare, explaining what went wrong and telling fans he is OK. He frames the attempt as a sign his ankle is healing and says he will continue to be himself, despite the attention the video drew. At the same time, the reports describe that the moment drew immediate concern because the landing appeared to worsen the leg he had recently injured.
Overall, the coverage converges on the same sequence: a viral backflip attempt at Fanatics Fest, concern from viewers due to how it ended, and Skattebo’s response aimed at reassuring Giants fans about his health.
