The NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year race took a brutal turn in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season when the New York Giants lost Cam Skattebo for the year due to an ankle injury.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo is carted off the field with a leg injury during the second quarter against the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26, 2025 in Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, fans on social media expressed their sorrow for Skattebo, while others called for a suspension of Baun for what they felt was a hip-drop tackle on Skattebo, which is illegal by NFL rules.
