REPLACING SKATT

The Giants lost more than just the game last weekend in Philadelphia, as rookie running back Cam Skattebo suffered a season-ending ankle injury on a tackle by Eagles linebacker Zack Baun. Through eight weeks, the Skattebo back leads all rookies in total yards from scrimmage (617) and total touchdowns (seven). His first season has been cut short, though, as both the Giants’ offense and the locker room overall will take a hit without the fiery, young back.

“For a guy that has come in and, say, sparked us with a lot of energy and toughness, but the personality that he has as well,” Daboll said about Skattebo’s impact on the team. “But it’s like all your other players that you’re close with. These guys spend a lot of time together, meeting time, outside the building. And that’s always a tough element to this game is when guys go down and get hurt. You hate to see it. Unfortunately, it’s part of the business.”

The backfield will now turn back to Tyrone Tracy Jr., who began the season as the starter before a Week 3 shoulder injury sidelined him for a couple of weeks. In six games (two starts) this season, the second-year back has gained 159 yards on 45 carries with 10 receptions for 68 yards and one total touchdown. As a rookie fifth-round pick last year, Tracy racked up 1,123 total yards of offense with six touchdowns.

“Tracy is a really good football player,” offensive lineman Greg Van Roten said earlier this week. “He kind of got sidelined with an injury earlier in the season, so we’re just excited for him to get back to form and kind of build on what he did last year, because I think he’s a better player this year than he was last year. He was a rookie last year, now he’s a second-year guy. He’s seen a lot of stuff. He’s getting more comfortable in his role. It’ll be good for him to get back out there. I think he’s anxious to kind of show, like, he’s still a good running back.”

CONTAINING McCAFFREY

In last week’s loss to the Eagles, the Giants gave up a season-high 276 yards on the ground to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby, as both backs topped 100 rushing yards and had double-digit yards per carry averages. Heading into Week 9, the Giants are surrendering 5.7 yards per carry, the highest mark in the NFL.

The defense will have yet another difficult matchup this weekend as the unit tries to slow down Christian McCaffrey. The 29-year-old is averaging a career-low 3.5 yards per carry as he’s gained just 490 yards on 140 rush attempts. The numbers would look even worse if it weren’t for his 129-yard performance against the Falcons in Week 6, a game that saw him score two of his three rushing touchdowns on the season. Despite his limited success on the ground, McCaffrey has still registered seven games with 100+ total yards from scrimmage due to his excellence in the pass game. The talented back ranks second in the NFL with 56 receptions, while his 559 receiving yards are the eighth-most. His 1,049 total yards from scrimmage are only seven yards shy of Indianapolis’ Jonathan Taylor for the most in the league.

“He’s one of the better players in the league in his position,” Daboll said on Wednesday. “He’s a mismatch in the passing game, a mismatch in the running game. They run a wide variety of run schemes. He can run them all. They put him on a wide variety of routes, receiver routes that receivers would run, running backs. He can do pretty much everything. He’s a very valuable piece for their offense. He’s extremely good.”
