Cam Skattebo made it clear on Tuesday that he won’t apologize for how he’s choosing to spend his time while recovering from a season-ending injury. Frustration from some New York Giants fans surfaced after the rookie took part in entertainment events around the city during his rehabilitation period.

Skattebo posted a message for his detractors, letting them know that he won’t change his lifestyle or attitude to satisfy public expectations. 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) 70% Win (110-25-1) Unlock Free tips from our Experts Get Picks Now “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,” Skattebo tweeted. “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.” Skattebo has been sidelined since late October, when he suffered a severe ankle injury that required emergency surgery. His first year in the NFL demonstrated promise: 617 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns. Super Bowl champion questions Cam Skattebo’s approach to rehab Former NFL defensive back and Super Bowl champion T. J. Ward questioned Cam Skattebo’s choices. “This how you make sure you have a short NFL career 🤦🏽‍♂️,” Ward tweeted on Monday. The WWE segment featured Skattebo seated near the ring with teammates and comedian Andrew Schulz. A scripted dispute escalated into a brief shove exchange between him and some performers. Skattebo has been around New York this month, including a stop at UFC 322 on Saturday. Giants officials have indicated that Skattebo’s long-term recovery outlook remains positive. Multiple reports estimated a four-to-six-month rehabilitation window, projecting a full return before the start of the 2026 campaign if progress continues without complications. New York heads into Week 12 searching for its first win in more than a month. The team will face the Detroit Lions at Ford Field.
