Cam Skattebo declared he will be healthy enough to play for the New York Giants in their season opener on Sept. 13 against Dallas after breaking his right fibula and dislocating his right ankle last fall.
Speaking at a team town hall event at the Beacon Theatre Monday night on the eve of the start of organized team activities, the 24-year-old running back said he’s still working his way back from the injury that required surgery.
“Obviously there’s ups and downs in the injury process and coming back and rehabbing, but the mental battle has been the hardest part: making sure that I trust it fully,” Skattebo said. “I’m a little ways out. Not too far, but I’ll be ready to go. Week 1, I’ll be ready to go.”
