New York Giants’ Rookie Running Back Cameron Skattebo Injured, Announces New Career Venture
The New York Giants were enjoying an action-packed 2025-26 season, thanks in large part to the incredible chemistry between rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and rookie running back Cameron Skattebo. However, the excitement came to an abrupt halt on Sunday, October 26, when Skattebo suffered an injury during the team’s road game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Up until that moment, Dart and Skattebo had been inseparable on the field. Skattebo had amassed impressive stats, totaling 410 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns on 101 carries. In addition, he contributed 207 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns on 24 receptions, giving him a remarkable 617 yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns, according to NFL research. His performance led all NFL rookies in scrimmage yards, as reported by ESPN.
Now sidelined for the remainder of the season, Skattebo remains a source of motivation for the Giants, supporting his team from the sidelines. Though unable to play, he has been keeping busy off the field with an exciting new career development.
Skattebo Announces Partnership with Lovesac
The New York Giants currently hold a 2-7 record and will face the 5-3 Chicago Bears on the road Sunday, November 9. While Skattebo won’t be playing, he is making waves off the field. The Giants’ fourth-round pick from Arizona State recently announced a partnership with Lovesac, a modern furniture company known for its innovative “StealthTech” design. This technology integrates speakers and wireless chargers seamlessly into furniture for a futuristic experience.
Lovesac has previously partnered with notable athletes, including snowboarding legend Shaun White and Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin. In a video shared on social media by both Skattebo and Lovesac’s official accounts, the running back stated, “Run through a wall, then relax and vibe on my Lovesac StealthTech. That’s my gameplan.”
On Instagram, Skattebo added, “All the way up. Lovesac Sactionals with StealthTech surround sound takes gaming and relaxation to a whole new level,” accompanied by the hashtag #LovesacPartner.
Giants Prepare to Face Chicago Bears
As the Giants prepare to take on the Chicago Bears this Sunday, they enter the game as underdogs. In a feature published Thursday, November 6, Jon Hoefling of USA Today analyzed the matchup, noting, “While Chicago’s great run game has come at the cost of Rome Odunze’s production, I’m sure no Bears fans mind. The Giants will be unable to stop Chicago, similar to what happened against San Francisco.”
Blake Schuster added, “Chicago got extremely lucky last week while facing a Bengals defense that couldn’t stop the most frustrating offense in the NFC. I don’t expect the Bears will need to score as much against this New York club.”
Meanwhile, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan highlighted the Giants’ struggles against the run, saying, “The Giants haven’t been able to stop the run this season — really, for the past four seasons. They’re allowing an NFL-worst 5.5 yards per carry and have allowed over 30 points in three straight games.” He went on to say, “It’s not going to get any easier against the Bears’ second-ranked rushing offense.”
Despite the tough outlook, the Giants may have a chance to pull off an upset, especially considering Chicago’s quarterback Ben Johnson has been struggling this season.
Looking Ahead
Though the Giants face a daunting challenge this Sunday, the resilience of players like Cameron Skattebo—both on and off the field—continues to inspire the team and fans alike. Giants supporters will be hoping for a strong showing against the Bears as the season moves forward.
