Cam Skattebo is on the road to recovery.

The 23-year-old running back is currently on the Giants’ injured reserve with an ankle injury.

The rookie running back, who tried to have a teammate help him to his feet after the injury, had to be carted off the field in an air cast late last month after he suffered a gruesome-looking ankle injury in the second quarter of the Giants’ loss to the Eagles.

The 23-year-old might be down, but he is certainly not out.

His girlfriend, Chloe Rodriguez, has lifted the spirits of Giants fans after she shared an inadvertent update regarding the breakthrough star’s injury.

She shared a photo of the running back on her Instagram Stories on Thursday, where Cam Skattebo could be seen decorating a Christmas tree.

It’s quite early since we are still weeks away from Thanksgiving.

Cam Skattebo suffered an open tibia fracture and ruptured deltoid ligament in addition to a right ankle dislocation in the 38-20 loss to the Eagles, according to ESPN.

It was the type of injury that had the entire NFL saddened since he was such a thrill to watch on the field.

Skattebo’s impactful rookie season came to a screeching halt, so fans will have to wait until 2026 to see him on the field again.

Skattebo finished his rookie season with 101 rushes for 410 yards and five touchdowns. The rookie rusher went on to record seven all-purpose touchdowns across seven games. In the passing game, he hauled in 24 catches for 207 yards and two scores, including a 21-yard longest gain.

The Giants will miss him, as they try to make it to the playoffs while standing on the outside looking in at this point.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
