Skattebo Doubtful for Giants’ Game Against Eagles

Skattebo did not practice November 4, November 5 or November 6 after the Giants returned from their bye. He worked with a trainer during media viewing periods, but coach John Harbaugh said the team would keep the possibility of him playing open. Even if available, Skattebo could be limited to fewer snaps than usual.

The Giants waived quarterback Jake Haener, leaving a roster spot open. Harbaugh did not say how the team would use it, but the team is expected to bring in a running back from its practice squad. Eric Gray, who joined the practice squad this week, is a possible choice and could also help on returns while receiver Charlie Jones is questionable with a hand injury.

Nabers, listed with a knee injury, practiced fully November 6 after missing the November 5 session. Harbaugh described the issue as an in-season matter and said Nabers would be ready for the game. It was unclear whether it was related to the knee on which Nabers tore his ACL last year.

The Giants listed Jones as questionable; their other players on the injury report were cleared to play. For Philadelphia, running back Saquon Barkley was limited in both November 5 and November 6 practices but had no game-status designation. Five Eagles were ruled out: Jihad Campbell, Michael Carter II, Britain Covey, Jonathan Jones and DeVonta Smith. Quarterback Tanner McKee was questionable.
