Why did Cam Skattebo have 0 carries? Harbaugh, RB give conflicting answers

The New York Giants' Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints saw a notable shift in their backfield, as starting running back Cam Skattebo recorded zero carries for the first time in his career. The decision came after Giants head coach John Harbaugh opted to start Najee Harris in his place, a move that sparked debate over the reasoning behind Skattebo’s benching.

With the Giants leading the NFC East at 3-1-1, the running game has struggled, ranking among the league’s least efficient in terms of yardage per attempt. Skattebo’s recent performance has been marred by four fumbles in five games, including a costly turnover in overtime last week, raising questions about his reliability.

Reports suggest the Giants are reducing his role to address these concerns, with Harris expected to take on a larger share of the workload moving forward. The shift underscores the team’s focus on ball security and efficiency as they aim to stabilize their ground game.
