Skattebo established himself as one of New York's most reliable players. He injured his ankle when he jumped to catch a short pass from Dart.
Philadelphia linebacker Zach Baun tackled Skattebo from behind and landed badly with his leg twisted underneath him. He immediately grabbed her ankle and felt pain.
Medical personnel rushed in and Skattebo was airlifted off the field. He underwent surgery at a Philadelphia hospital later that evening.
Early reports confirmed that the procedure was successful. However, his recovery schedule will keep him sidelined for the rest of the campaign.
Before posting on Instagram, Dart, who was named the Giants' QB1 on Sept. 24, didn't hold back his emotions after witnessing the injury.
“I was devastated,” said Dart, via Athletic's Charlotte Carroll. “He's my guy, man, so to see him go down and obviously react to what happened, it sucks. It's the worst part of this game.”
Skattebo was one of the few bright spots in a challenging year for the Giants. He was a fourth-round pick out of Arizona State.
New York has a big hole to fill and is struggling with a 2-6 record. The loss to the eagles it was the second in a row and the team is last in the NFC East.
The Giants have been outscored 215-173 this season.
