The NFL has fined New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo $7,073 for a helmet violation, Yahoo Sports reported on November 2, 2026. The fine follows a controversial penalty called against the rookie during a recent victory over the Houston Texans. [1][3][6]

The penalty arose from a collision between Skattebo and a Texans defender. As FTMQ Sports reported earlier, Skattebo rushed for 124 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries during the 27-21 overtime win against Houston in Week 7. Yahoo Sports noted that the play sparked debate regarding how the league regulates physical contact by ball carriers. [1][8]

Skattebo was selected by the New York Giants in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft after playing college football for Sacramento State and Arizona State. According to Yahoo Sports, the Giants started their season with a 3-1-1 record before losing 34-27 to the New Orleans Saints in Week 6, a contest in which Skattebo did not record a carry. [1][7]

CBS Sports reported that Skattebo could be a game-time decision for the team in Week 9. Meanwhile, Heavy.com and Yahoo Sports reported that the running back has also been the subject of trade speculation ahead of the NFL trading deadline. [2][4][5]
