Giants running back Cam Skattebo is currently recovering from a nasty ankle injury but the rookie went viral this week over damage to his shoulder.
Skattebo's first season in the NFL was cruelly cut short after he required emergency surgery to treat an open tibia fracture, ruptured deltoid ligament and right ankle dislocation.
That is far from the only damage he has suffered over the years, however. The 23-year-old's body carries numerous scars of his exploits on the field.
Skattebo this week pulled down his collar to reveal a huge lump protruding out of his right shoulder. He calls it his 'twin' and even joked that he 'scratches his chin' on the lump.
It's believed that Skattebo has a separated shoulder, which is typically caused when the ligaments between the shoulder blade and collarbone tear or stretch too far. 'The tendon on top just tore off,' Skattebo explained. 'I have that in both shoulders.'
The 23-year-old showed off his shoulder on a live stream and has remained in the spotlight over recent days - despite his ankle injury.

Cam Skattebo's season came to an end last month after he suffered a gruesome ankle injury
He appeared at UFC 322 at Madison Square Garden and then returned to the New York arena for WWE's Monday Night RAW show.
Skattebo, along with comedian Andrew Schulz, was seen brawling with WWE stars Dominik Mysterio, Finn Balor and JD McDonagh during a segment of the show.
The 'fight' sparked controversy among some NFL fans, who questioned why Skattebo was taking part while in rehab.
But the rookie hit back at his critics. 'Honestly if you don’t like that I’m having a good time while dealing with a tough time, then just go ahead and unfollow and casually move on,' he said.
'I’m not able to play football and have the fun I’ve been having my whole life so I am doing things outside the box trying to find stuff to keep me happy.
'Enjoy the rest of y’all’s week and just don’t talk about me if you ain’t got nothing nice to say.'
