Giants' Cam Skattebo gives update on gruesome injury rehab, reveals who he sought advice from on recovery

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo discusses his rehab from a gruesome ankle injury and who he reached out to for advice on dealing with it.

SAN FRANCISCO – Cam Skattebo became a cult hero in the tristate area, catapulting himself into the New York Giants' top running back.

Skattebo found the end zone seven times in as many games, but early in his eighth, he suffered a gruesome injury that required emergency surgery. The running back suffered ligament tears while dislocating his ankle, which resulted in a compound wound and replays unfit for television.

Feb. 19 will mark four months since the injury, but Skattebo — without any brace on radio row — is ready to get back to being just a regular football player again.

"I feel good. Getting healthy, a couple months out, so I'm starting to put it in the past and get over the hard part and get back to work," Skattebo told Fox News Digital.

Numerous players have unfortunately suffered similar injuries to Skattebo, but it was San Francisco 49ers star Fred Warner whom Skattebo sought out for advice. Warner suffered a severe injury just a week before Skattebo.
