Cam Skattebo could take on a larger role in the New York Giants’ backfield after Tyrone Tracy Jr. was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Skattebo rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries in the Giants’ 27–21 overtime win over the Houston Texans, including a 42-yard run that set up the winning score.
Tracy’s injury leaves the Giants with fewer running back options ahead of their Week 9 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, Skattebo also felt something in his hamstring during overtime. The team’s bye week gives him time to recover, while Devin Singletary remains another option after scoring the game-winning touchdown.
### Key Takeaways
– Skattebo had his best performance of the season, averaging 7.3 yards per carry against Houston.
– Tracy is headed to injured reserve with a hamstring injury.
– Skattebo may see more work, but his own hamstring health is worth monitoring.
– The Giants enter their bye week at 4-2-1 and first in the NFC East.
