The New York Giants lost a significant source of energy and hope when Cam Skattebo<\/a> suffered a season-ending ankle injury<\/a> last Sunday in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

As the saying goes in the NFL, next man up. That man is a familiar face: second-year back Tyrone Tracy Jr.<\/a> He’s no novice in pro football, having become the Giants’ lead back in his rookie season of 2024 and rushed for 839 yards and five scores in his debut campaign.<\/p>\n

Now, though, he’ll be asked to replace a player who had inspired both his teammates and Giants fans everywhere.<\/p>\n

“He’s seen a lot of stuff,” guard Greg Van Roten<\/a> said Wednesday of Tracy, via The Associated Press<\/a>. “He’s getting more comfortable in his role. So, it’ll be good for him to get back out there. I think he’s anxious to kind of show he’s still a good running back.”<\/p>\n

Such desire to prove himself is good for Tracy, the projected top back who found himself existing in the rookie Skattebo’s shadow in recent weeks. As opportunities prove scarce for the average player in the NFL, Tracy likely understands he must seize this one.<\/p>\n

“We had a good duo going,” Tracy said. “But for me to get back out there and get my opportunities, I’m just going to continue to do what I’m doing.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The New York Giants lost a significant source of energy and hope when Cam Skattebo suffered a season-ending…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250893,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[37242,64,63,30574,119590,1242,44,593,19976,11368,85,57450],"class_list":{"0":"post-250892","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-around-the-nfl","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-cam-skattebo","12":"tag-greg-van-roten","13":"tag-new-york-giants","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-no-minute","17":"tag-regular-season","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-tyrone-tracy-jr"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250892","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250892"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250892\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250893"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250892"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250892"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250892"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
