"While on the ground, he pointed at his injured right ankle. Dart could barely look at the gruesome sight as he walked away. Several teammates knelt. A cart quickly came out and Skattebo had an air cast placed on what the Giants called a dislocated ankle. "I was devastated," Dart said of his close friend. "It's my boy, man. So seeing him go down and obviously reacting to what happened, that sucks. It's the worst part of this game.""
""Obviously, you saw it, looked bad. I know you feel for anybody on your team that goes down and has a really bad injury. I know the players feel the same way about Skatt." "It's really hard to see," wide receiver Darius Slayton said. "A young guy that was having a heck of a year. Somebody who's a unifying personality. An energetic personality and certainly sad to see him go down.""
The Eagles beat the Giants 38-20 at Lincoln Financial Field. Rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a dislocated right ankle after coming down awkwardly while attempting to catch a pass and was scheduled for surgery. Skattebo had led all rookies in scrimmage yards and touchdowns entering the game and earlier scored an 18-yard touchdown to tie the game at 7. The injury visibly devastated teammates, with quarterback Jaxson Dart and others reacting emotionally as teammates kneeled and a cart removed Skattebo. Coach Brian Daboll and receivers Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson expressed sympathy and concern for Skattebo. The Giants' momentum collapsed after the injury.
