After the Giants’ 34-27 loss to the Saints in Week 6, head coach John Harbaugh benches Cam Skattebo, leaving the rookie running back on the sideline for the entire game. Harbaugh cites Skattebo’s four fumbles — the most on the team — and the lack of a clear RB1 as reasons for the move. In his absence, Najee Harris, Devin Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. combine for just 34 yards on 14 carries, prompting a fresh battle for the RB1 spot heading into Week 7. Skattebo’s future snaps remain uncertain as New York seeks to curb turnovers and revive its rushing attack.
The New York Giants bench running back Cam Skattebo for the first time this season, leaving him on the sideline for six snaps without a single touch in a 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

With Najee Harris, Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Devin Singletary sharing the load, the Giants shift to a committee backfield as they try to tighten ball security. Skattebo’s next chance to earn carries comes in Week 7.
