Giants running back Cam Skattebo returns to active roster for Week 1
Summary

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is scheduled to return to the lineup for the team's Week 1 game. His return follows a season-ending injury during his rookie year, when he dislocated his right ankle in his seventh game. Skattebo admitted that he considered retiring from professional football after the injury, as he had established a personal rule to walk away if he suffered a significant setback. After spending the first month of his recovery reconsidering his career, he decided to commit to the rehabilitation process. He successfully completed his recovery in the spring and participated in the team's preseason workouts without further complications.
