A week after receiving no carries, Cam Skattebo is poised to reclaim his position as the New York Giants' lead running back in their upcoming matchup against the Houston Texans on Sunday, as reported by ESPN.

The Giants plan to rotate Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary into the game as well. This comes on the heels of the team waiving Najee Harris less than 48 hours after their previous loss.

Skattebo acknowledged the pressure of performance, stating, "Nobody's safe, it's as simple as that. And I think when we go on the field, and we perform, if we're not performing, we understand there's a possibility of not being here. And if I don't perform, I know there's a possibility of me not being here."

His earlier demotion followed a critical fumble in overtime during the Giants' tie against the Washington Commanders. Skattebo has struggled with ball security, losing five fumbles in just 13 career games. Reflecting on his performance, he said, "I got taught a lesson. I had to kind of step back and look at it and figure out why."

Currently, Skattebo averages 3.6 yards-per-carry this season, a dip from his 4.1 average in 2025. Last season, he had a standout performance, rushing for a career-high 98 yards and three touchdowns in a victory over the Philadelphia Eagles before an injury cut his season short.

On Sunday, Skattebo faces a formidable Texans defense, which ranks third in the NFL for the fewest rushing yards allowed and fewest yards-per-carry average.
