Cam Skattebo is back on his feet.
Although he is less than a month removed from season-ending ankle surgery, the Giants’ rookie running back participated in a staged brawl during WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” at Madison Square Garden.
Skattebo and several other Giants were seated ringside when wrestler Dominik Mysterio approached their section to mock comedian Andrew Schultz.
“The only good thing that’s coming out of New York City is standing right in front of you,” Mysterio told Schultz, who was standing next to a seated Skattebo.
“The only champion New York has seen in… can you count, Cam? How many years? He don’t know. He can’t count.”
Mysterio then shoved Schultz, and Skattebo stepped in to go face to face with Mysterio as his fellow Giants backed him up.
Skattebo, 23, appeared to be leaning against the railing for the scripted scuffle, during which he was moderately shoved multiple times and did some pushing of his own.
The fan-favorite Skattebo is recovering from a dislocated right ankle, which he suffered during the Giants’ Week 8 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Oct. 26.
Skattebo attended Sunday’s 27-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers at MetLife Stadium, where he wore a protective boot and used a scooter.
During a recent appearance on the streaming platform Twitch, Skattebo shared an update on his injured ankle, which included him flexing his foot back and forth.
“I can even move my toes and s–t,” Skattebo said. “I can get pretty far, honestly. If I just lean forward, I can almost make it touch the ground. I’m getting better every day.”
Known for his physical running style, Skattebo scored seven touchdowns in eight games.
Among the other Giants who participated in the “Monday Night Raw” stunt was rookie pass rusher Abdul Carter, who was benched for the first six defensive snaps on Sunday due to a team violation.
The Athletic reported Carter slept through a walk-through, though the 22-year-old refuted that claim.
“Was not sleep, actually doing recovery,” Carter wrote on social media in a post that has since been deleted. “Nonetheless that’s on ME!”
Veteran defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris also had a prominent part in the “Monday Night Raw” melee.
