The New York Giants strengthened their grip on the NFC East with Sunday afternoon's 19-11 win versus the Philadelphia Eagles, which marked their first victory inside Lincoln Financial Field in more than 13 years, but there are still glaring issues to address. Big Blue must run the ball more effectively if it wants to pose true danger. While inconsistent interior blocking is certainly a cause for the scant production, a more physical ball-carrier like Cam Skattebo could minimize those deficiencies. Fortunately, he is ready to return.
Despite missing the Eagles game with a hamstring injury, the second-year running back has already been confirmed for Thursday night's home matchup against the Washington Commanders, per ESPN NFL Nation's Jordan Raanan. Giants head coach John Harbaugh said Skattebo will be a “full go” and was “very close” to suiting up in Philly. The G-Men hope their cautious approach will yield excellent results in Week 10 and enable them to grab a win over each of their divisional rivals.
