"Per multiple reports, the 23-year-old needed emergency surgery because it was an open dislocation, which is why the procedure was done in the Philadelphia area rather than being transported back to New York. Skattebo suffered the injury midway through the second quarter on Sunday when he was tackled by Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Zack Baun after attempting to reel in a pass from Dart. His foot stuck in the ground and ultimately bent awkwardly beneath him."
"All went well, Giants head coach Brian Daboll said. He's recovering. Obviously, he'll be missed, but on the road to recovery He's got a road ahead of him. Skattebo will miss the remainder of the season, a significant blow for a team that had been moving in the right direction, much in part to his contributions and his partnership with fellow rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart."
