Giants running back Cam Skattebo says he briefly considered retiring after suffering a season-ending injury last year. Multiple outlets report that, in the period following the setback, he questioned whether he wanted to return to football.
Yahoo Sports and Newsweek describe the injury as ending his rookie season and cite its severity. Yahoo Sports - NFL adds specific details, saying Skattebo broke his right fibula and dislocated his right ankle in Week 8. The Athletic reports that in the weeks after the injury, Skattebo told Kay Adams he struggled with that decision, asking himself whether he really wanted “to do this.”
Across the coverage, there is agreement that he is now focusing on his recovery and return, but outlets differ in emphasis: some foreground the near-retirement revelation, while others highlight the injury’s mechanics and timing. The common thread is that the injury leads to serious reflection about continuing his career.
