Cam Skattebo is expected to return to a larger role as the New York Giants’ lead running back when they face the Houston Texans on Sunday, according to sources cited by NFL Network and reported by other outlets.
The reports describe a change from his previous usage following recent performance. One account notes that in the Giants’ loss to the New Orleans Saints, Skattebo’s role was dramatically reduced, including not registering a carry and appearing in only a handful of plays. Other coverage frames the upcoming game through Skattebo’s mindset after a demotion, emphasizing a “chip on his shoulder” ahead of the matchup. Despite different framing—game role focus versus personal angle—sources align that Skattebo’s role is set to expand for the Texans game.
