New York Giants rookie running back Cam Skattebo had a surprise visitor at the hospital.
Philadelphia Eagles Chief Security Officer Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro reportedly visited Skattebo at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia on Monday after the rookie running back gruesomely dislocated his ankle during Sunday’s game.
DiSandro brought pizza and cheesesteaks to Skattebo, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. DiSandro’s kind gesture followed the Eagles crowd giving Skattebo a standing ovation as he was carried off the field.

“Thank you all for the support!! The surgery went well. I just want to thank the city of Philadelphia for taking the best possible care of me. Every moment I spent in the hospital with family and friends I felt loved and supported in every way,” Skattebo wrote.
“Thank you to the doctors, surgeons and staff who did their best work on me. This is just the beginning of my journey and I can’t wait to show you everything! GOD has a plan for me, stay the course and everything will be okay.”
The fourth-round pick out of Arizona State had already scored a touchdown in the team’s 38-20 loss before the injury. His style of play has endeared him to fans and has helped give the team a spark.

In eight games, Skattebo had 410 yards and five rushing touchdowns while averaging just over four yards per carry. He also had 24 receptions for 207 yards and two receiving touchdowns.
The Giants fell to 2-6 with their loss to the Eagles. They will rely on second-year running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. to replace Skattebo.
The Giants’ next game is against the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) on Sunday at 1 pm ET.
