Giants RB Cam Skattebo scores in injury return, does a backflip to celebrate

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo capped his comeback from a prior season-ending injury by finding the end zone during the Week 1 opener against the Dallas Cowboys, marking the milestone with an acrobatic backflip celebration. The standout rusher had overcome a training camp setback and intense pregame scrutiny to retain his primary role in an offense entering a fresh chapter under head coach John Harbaugh.

Skattebo's scoring performance complemented a bolstered Giants roster that featured quarterback Jaxson Dart and wide receiver Malik Nabers, who took the field exactly 350 days following a torn ACL in his right knee. The Sunday night divisional tilt presented a high-stakes start to the year for New York, highlighting the successful returns of key offensive weapons after arduous rehabilitation journeys.
