New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is confirmed to be healthy following a viral video of him struggling to land a backflip at Fanatics Fest this past Saturday. Skattebo landed awkwardly on his previously injured right ankle during the stunt. He addressed the situation on Sunday to reassure his team and fans that he is not injured.

Skattebo stated that he is perfectly fine and noted that the surface at the event was too bouncy for the move. The running back missed most of his rookie season after suffering a tibia fracture and ankle dislocation during a game against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. He has spent the off-season focused on recovery and expects to participate in training camp next month.

Despite his coach John Harbaugh previously advising against the backflip, Skattebo remains defiant about his choice of celebration. He stated that he intends to remain true to his personality regardless of public criticism. Skattebo is expected to be a key part of the Giants offense this year as he enters his first full healthy season.
