Some claim the tackle was an illegal hip drop:

The play that injured Giants RB Cam Skattebo was an illegal hip drop tackle from Eagles LB Zack Baun

ESPN reported the latest update on Skattebo:

New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo was carted off the field Sunday midway through the second quarter of Sunday’s 38-20 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles because of a gruesome dislocation of his right ankle.

Skattebo’s ankle got caught underneath an Eagles player as he tried to catch a pass over the middle of the field. His right foot was turned sharply to the right. He was quickly ruled out for the rest of the game and taken to a hospital for evaluation, according to the Giants.

The team later said that Skattebo was scheduled to undergo surgery Sunday night at a local Philadelphia-area hospital.

“Yeah, feel absolutely terrible for the young man,” coach Brian Daboll said. “Obviously, saw it looked bad. I know you feel for anybody on your team that goes down and has a really bad injury and I feel … I know the players feel the same way about [ Skattebo].”

Players for both teams were immediately aware it was a serious injury. One Eagles player immediately ran away from the area and off the field. Several Giants players turned away from Skattebo to avoid looking at the injury. Rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart, who has quickly become a close friend, yelled in frustration. Offensive lineman Greg Van Roten was the closest teammate to Skattebo on the field. He immediately called for help.

“I saw him on the ground with his leg trapped,” he said. “When he pulled it out, you could see his foot was the wrong way. Obviously, that is not normal. I just wanted [Skattebo] to stay down, called the trainers out, get the cart. Put the [ankle] back basically. It’s hard to see stuff like that.”
