The injury occurred in the second quarter when Skattebo caught a short pass and was brought down awkwardly by an Eagles defender. The FOX broadcast captured Dart’s distraught reaction. The young quarterback shouted in frustration before dropping to one knee in disbelief as medical staff rushed to help his teammate.

Skattebo, who has been a breakout star for the Giants, was carted off the field with an air cast. The rookie running back had become a key part of New York’s offense, posting 398 rushing yards and five touchdowns, plus another 189 receiving yards and a score through seven games.

Dart and Skattebo had formed one of the most exciting young offensive duos in the league, sparking optimism for a struggling Giants team. Now, with Skattebo likely done for the season, Dart faces the challenge of leading the offense without his trusted backfield partner.

It was a heartbreaking moment, and one that clearly left the Giants’ sideline stunned. It serves as a brutal reminder of just how quickly fortunes can change in the NFL.
