The running back has since been working his way back, taking part in limited 11-on-11 drills during the Giants\u2019 mandatory minicamp last week.<\/p>\n

He also showed off his progress at Brian Burns\u2019 celebrity softball game, performing a backflip at home plate and later saying it was the first one he had done since the injury.<\/p>\n

His comments made it even clearer.<\/p>\n
Skattebo has said he expects to be ready for Week 1, and his return could give the Giants another physical option in a backfield that also includes Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With the Giants entering their first season under head coach John Harbaugh, Skattebo\u2019s hard-nosed style could give the offense a different edge if he returns to full strength.<\/p>\n
For now, the message from Skattebo is simple.<\/p>\n
The ankle injury may have ended his rookie season.<\/p>\n
