New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo ruled inactive for Week 9

The New York Giants have officially ruled starting running back Cam Skattebo inactive for their Week 9 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a hamstring injury. Skattebo, who led the team with 418 rushing yards, is expected to remain sidelined until at least the following week.

With Skattebo out and Tyrone Tracy Jr. on injured reserve with a hamstring strain, Devin Singletary is expected to lead the Giants' backfield. The team has also signed Gregory Desrosiers from the Chargers’ practice squad and elevated Phil Mafah to provide depth.

In related roster news, the Giants reportedly pulled a trade offer for Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. The previous offer, which included a second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, was rejected by the Colts. While the Giants have inquired about other players, including Justice Hill of the Baltimore Ravens, major additions to the backfield before the trade deadline appear unlikely.
