Cam Skattebo remains out of Giants training camp as New York's injuries on offense pile up

While there is still a month to go before the regular season begins, injuries are starting to pile up on offense for the New York Giants

AUGUST 4 • Associated Press

Placed on injured reserve The Giants placed Ford-Wheaton (Achilles) on injured reserve Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact Ford-Wheaton will miss the entire 2025 season after tearing his Achilles during Sunday's practice, and he'll focus on being fully healthy for the 2026 campaign. He played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and mostly served on special teams, so his absence gives players like Zach Pascal and Ihmir Smith-Marsette a better shot at making the Giants' 53-man roster at the end of training camp.
