Just when you thought the news on Cam Skattebo couldn’t get any worse, more would surface less than 24 hours after he suffered a gruesome-looking ankle injury in the second quarter of the Giants’ loss to the Eagles.

The rookie running back’s legs got caught underneath him as he was tackled, and he snapped his ankle in half. When he came up, his right ankle appeared to be facing the wrong direction.

Despite his condition, he somehow thought it was a good idea to enlist the help of a teammate to get him on his feet. Luckily, that teammate did not oblige.

Unfortunately, it appears that his injury is worse than previously thought.

Jeff Mueller, a doctor of Physical Therapy, took to X and wrote that an open dislocation was confirmed for Cam Skattebo, which explained the emergency surgery he had to go through that same night.

“Main concerns open vs closed: Higher infection risk, likely higher soft tissue trauma, higher risk of nerve damage. While risk is higher, still has a good chance to return to form for 2026,” Mueller added.

Cam Skattebo Should Be Ready For Week 1 of The 2026 NFL Season

With the injury to Cam Skattebo, who was diagnosed with a dislocated ankle and was taken to the hospital for additional testing and surgery, the injury marks the end of the season for the dynamic rookie, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

Zack Baun dragged down Skattebo on an incompletion, and his right foot turned in the wrong direction.

It was an injury that was so bad that even the notoriously hostile Eagles home crowd cheered Skattebo as he left the field.

He left a lasting impression on his season as Cam Skattebo caught an 18-yard touchdown pass from Dart before his injury. He has scored seven of the Giants’ 21 touchdowns from scrimmage this season.

With months to go until the start of the 2026 season, Skattebo should be 100% healthy to get back on the field for his second season.

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.
