The New York Giants are expected to reduce Cam Skattebo’s role for their Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints after he fumbles in Week 5. Multiple outlets report that the turnover changes the team’s backfield plan, with Najee Harris set to see more playing time.
Reports cited by Yahoo Sports and ESPN indicate Harris is expected to have a larger share of the workload, effectively ending Skattebo’s status as the primary running back. New York Post and Newsweek describe the move as a consequence of Skattebo’s early-season ball security issues and struggles, suggesting the Giants are making an adjustment to improve performance.
While the sources differ slightly in how they frame the shift—some call it a “downgrade” or “shakeup”—they agree the team plans to pivot toward Harris in the Saints matchup.
