Head coach John Harbaugh was asked about the possibility of making changes at running back if fumbles persist. He responded that adjustments are possible and that there is a point at which changes could be made. When pressed if that point had been reached, Harbaugh said, “We’ll see. We’ll find out.”
Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy addressed Cam Skattebo’s fumbles, emphasizing the overall emphasis on ball security and acknowledging Skattebo’s effort. Nagy noted that the team cannot allow such plays to continue and stressed that the issue is being addressed. To combat ball-security issues, Harbaugh highlighted a technique called the “G-claw,” which focuses on securing the football through pressure-point control with the opposite arm. He noted that practice time is dedicated to reinforcing this technique, including sessions on Wednesdays and Thursdays during the season.
Cam Skattebo spoke about his most recent fumble, acknowledging the mistake and outlining steps to improve after watching the film. He attributed the fumble to a well-executed opponent play and said he intends to work on ball security and decision-making to avoid similar errors moving forward. Through eight games of his rookie season, Skattebo has averaged 3.6 yards per carry in 2026, with no runs longer than 20 yards this year. If improvement stalls and fumbles persist, his role could be reduced in the future.
