New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo has been fined by the NFL for the second time this week for an unsafe play during Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
The NFL announced Saturday that Skattebo was fined $6,157 for unnecessary roughness and “striking/kicking/tripping/kneeing” for a play during the fourth quarter with 4:56 remaining.
The fine was the result of Skattebo attempting to pickup a blitz on which Alex Singleton blew the play up, ultimately leading to a Jaxson Dart interception. He was not flagged on the play.

“I mean, I got f–ked up,” Skattebo told the NY Daily News of getting run over by Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton. “That’s really it.”
“He got lower than me and he hit me harder. That’s really it,” Skattebo said. “I gotta be better in that moment for my quarterback. But he just got the better end of it that time.”
Skattebo Was Fined Earlier This Week
This is the second fine this week for Skattebo. He was also fined $15,000 for the perception of interfering with Dart’s concussion protocol exam during the Week 6 game by entering the blue medical tent. Head coach Brian Daboll and Giants organization were also fined related the incident.
A statement from the NFL Players Association and NFL said that Skattebo and Daboll’s “conduct was inconsistent with and demonstrated a disregard for the concussion protocol’s requirements and therefore constituted a violation.”

The NFL and the NFL Players Association launched an investigation into the incident the day after the game. According to reports, the league also issued a memo to all teams reminding them that only medical personnel—and the player being evaluated—are permitted inside the medical tent during a concussion assessment.
“I don’t really got any comments,” Skattebo told reporters. “I’m just glad Jaxson’s healthy. They took action, and it’s over with.”
“I’ll say this, like I said last night, I went in, didn’t actually go in, just stuck my head in to see how our quarterback was doing,” Daboll said. Just asked him, ‘How you doing? In no way would I want a player to come back out there that wasn’t ready to play. I think I have great respect for that process.”
The Giants (2-5) defeated the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) in that game, 34-17. The rematch is on Sunday at Philadelphia.
Tyrone Tracy Also Fined
Fellow running back Tyrone Tracy was also fined $5,731 for unnecessary roughness due to use of the helmet in the first quarter—a play on which he was not flagged.
Tracy had a stellar season last year but has been eclipsed by the momentum of Skattebo this year, although Tracy had a 31-yard touchdown run against the Broncos. Skattebo rushed for 60 yards on 16 carries, and added three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown.
If Tracy can return to old form, the Giants could have a dynamic duo that makes a difference in the winning column. It’s an uphill battle from here for the G-Men, though.
