Cam Skattebo prepares for Giants season opener against the Cowboys
Summary

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo enters the 2026 season ready for his return to action in the September 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Skattebo, who missed the latter part of the 2025 season with a right-ankle injury, successfully completed his training camp participation this summer. During a recent interview, he stated his intention to provide a physical challenge for the Dallas defense on his first carry of the season. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy is expected to incorporate Skattebo into a 21 personnel scheme designed to emphasize a power-based rushing attack. The Giants aim to establish their ground game early against a Dallas roster that features new defensive personnel and first-year defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Both teams are preparing for the divisional opening game at the start of the 2026 campaign.
