Cam Skattebo demotion: Giants RB logs zero touches in New York's Week 6 loss to Saints

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo was entirely sidelined in Sunday’s 34–27 loss to the Saints, logging just six snaps without a single carry or target—a first in his NFL career. The demotion follows a season marked by four fumbles, prompting head coach John Harbaugh to shift the backfield rotation in favor of Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Despite Skattebo’s absence, the Giants managed 20 rushing attempts for 84 yards, with Tracy leading the way on six carries and Harris contributing four. Harbaugh clarified the lack of touches was unintentional, as Skattebo’s limited role stemmed from offensive design rather than a formal benching, though the message to the veteran back was clear: consistency over touches after a costly turnovers early in the season.
