Even a brutal twist of fate that ended in a dislocated ankle has not been enough to completely dampen the spirits of New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo.
Skattebo, 23, took to social media on Oct. 27 to express his gratitude for the encouragement he received in the wake of the season-ending ankle injury he sustained one day earlier.
"Thank you everyone for the support!!" he wrote on X. "Surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philly for taking the best care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way (heart emoji) thank you to the doctors, surgeons, and staff that did their best work on me.
"This is just the beginning of my journey and I can’t wait to show you guys all about it!!! GOD has a plan for me, stick the course and it will all work itself out, BRB (be right back)."
