Tracy had 29 yards on seven carries in the first quarter before departing, and rookie Cam Skattebo totaled 121 combined yards — 60 rushing and 61 receiving — with one touchdown in Tracy’s absence. He received the bulk of the playing time ahead of veteran Devin Singletary.
“I’ve said this before, Cam is a good young player to coach,” Giants coach Brian Daboll said. “He runs hard. He makes few mistakes relative to understanding the schematic of things. Instinctive player and made the most of his opportunity.”

Tracy compiled 839 rushing yards with five touchdowns as a rookie last season after the Giants drafted him in the fifth round out of Purdue.
“It’s tough when you see a guy like Tracy, one of your star running backs, go down with a shoulder on the sideline,” quarterback Russell Wilson said after Sunday’s game. “Had a good couple of runs, couple of good plays. So I think that was tough for us, but I thought we continued to battle throughout.”
