Cam Skattebo continues to deliver the physical brand of football that defines his game. The second-year Giants running back has powered through contact and created tough yards since reclaiming his feature role in his rookie season.
The NFL fined New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo $7,073 for unnecessary roughness following an unflagged collision in Week 3 against the Tennessee Titans. The league ruled that Skattebo lowered his helmet into linebacker Cedric Gray during a first-quarter rushing play. Total Pro Sports questions the punishment's consistency due to the absence of an on-field penalty flag.
Three other Giants players received fines from the 12-7 win, including Isaiah Likely ($17,911), Shelby Harris ($11,941), and Abdul Carter ($11,941). Skattebo's physical running style had previously drawn scrutiny, with Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons highlighting concerns regarding helmet contact and perceived double standards between offensive and defensive players.
