New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo has been hit with his first NFL punishment. The news came down on Friday just as the team is preparing to take on the reigning Super Bowl Champions Philadelphia Eagles. Sitting at 2-5, New York’s season is off to a rough start, however, their fans are optimistic for their future largely in part due to Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo, and Malik Nabers.
The young running back, however, has received his first dose of NFL punishment.

In a decision released today, the NFL fined the New York Giants, head coach Brian Daboll, and rookie running back Cam Skattebo for violating the concussion protocol.
For “creating the perception” they interfered with Jaxson Dart while he was being evaluated for a head injury.
It all stems from the team’s Week 6 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles … when the Giants rookie QB was taken into the blue medical tent for a concussion test.

Only members of the medical staff and the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant are allowed inside the tent. Daboll and Skattebo broke those rules … which is a big no-no.
The punishment dropped Friday morning … with the league saying it concluded Daboll and Skattebo broke protocol when they “entered the medical tent and spoke with Mr. Dart before his evaluation was complete.”

“While the parties agreed that Coach Daboll’s and Mr. Skattebo’s actions had no actual impact on the exam or the care that Mr. Dart received, their conduct was inconsistent with and demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol’s requirements and therefore constituted a violation.”
Daboll was fined $100,000 … while Skattebo was docked $15,000 for his role. The organization as a whole will have to cough up a $200,000 penalty.
Daboll — who’s in his fourth season as Big Blue’s head coach — apologized to the team physician for the ordeal … saying, “I just wanted his ass out there if he was okay.”
With this saga behind them … the G-Men now turn their attention to Sunday’s game — which just so happens to be a rematch with the Eagles.
