- The Giants had explored several alternatives at running back.

## Summary

Cam Skattebo was facing a high-profile test for the Giants against the Commanders at MetLife Stadium on Thursday night. The running back has built his career on proving doubters wrong, and remained confident despite the team exploring other options at his position.

The article describes his return from a severe leg injury suffered in Week 8 the previous season, which had led him to consider retiring. Giants coach John Harbaugh had looked into signing Kenneth Walker III, drafting Jeremiyah Love and pursuing trades for Jonathan Taylor and Bijan Robinson, but those moves did not shake Skattebo’s self-belief.
