Giants provide key injury updates for Jaxson Dart, Cam Skattebo image

The New York Giants, for the first time this season, have some momentum to maintain.

They picked up a shocking win in Week 4, knocking off the previously undefeated Los Angeles Chargers to claim their own first victory.

It marked a successful first NFL start for Jaxson Dart, the No. 25 overall pick out of Ole Miss who took over after three starts for Russell Wilson began the campaign with an 0-3 record.

There was a bit of concern coming out of the game, though. Dart and fellow rookie, RB Cam Skattebo, both seemed dinged up.

Good news came out of Wednesday's practice as they start their prep work for Week 5.

Dart, dealing with a hamstring issue, was a full participant at practice.

And Skattebo, whose injury is listed as a knee problem, was also a full participant at practice.

That's great news, especially ahead of what is likely a very winnable game.

The Giants travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints on Sunday. The Saints are coming off a hard-fought loss to the Bills, and they're 0-4 this season.

New York is starting to get an early look at its future. Dart and Skattebo could easily be the backfield partnership for this franchise for a long time.

And as long as they can stay healthy, the Giants will have a chance to do good things on the football field, this year and down the road.
