Watch Giants’ Cam Skattebo arrive for ‘TNF’ in custom Iron Man helmet

Cam Skattebo has had a rocky sophomore NFL season, from a Week 6 benching from John Harbaugh, to recent trade rumors surrounding the Giants' backfield. But if there's one thing he continually brings to New York, it's energy.

The 24-year-old former Arizona State star has already surpassed his rookie rushing total with 418 yards in seven games this season, reclaiming his lead role for the Giants with a 124-yard outing against the Texans in Week 7.

Ahead of an NFC East showdown against the Commanders on Thursday night, Skattebo even brought his personality to the hallways of MetLife Stadium with a unique entrance.

Here's a look at the Iron Man mask Skattebo wore as he prepared for "Thursday Night Football.

From backflips to a "Monday Night Raw" appearance, Skattebo hasn't been shy about showcasing his personality since arriving in the NFL. And after missing last week's Giants win over the Eagles, Skattebo will return for Week 10, looking to keep his momentum going after a huge performance against the Texans in late October.

For a prime-time game, Skattebo made a prime-time entrance. Around a month prior to the release of "Avengers: Doomsday," the running back has established himself as a Marvel fan — he wore a Giants-themed Iron Man mask as he arrived for Thursday's game.

Skattebo's role has been in flux throughout the 2026 season, which is trending toward playoff contention for New York. He struggled early on, eventually losing snaps to Tyrone Tracey, Najee Harris and Devin Singletary as Harbaugh benched him in Week 6 due to fumbling issues.

However, Skattebo has bounced back since then, including his first 100-yard rushing game of the season. The Giants reportedly made an offer for Colts star Jonathan Taylor that, if accepted, would have pushed Skattebo down their depth chart — but after rescinding that offer, Taylor remained in Indianapolis.

Skattebo remains in line to lead the Giants' backfield for the rest of the 2026 season, looking to earn more of Harbaugh's trust after his blunders early in the year.
