New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo said he is "perfectly fine" after failing to land a backflip and appearing to land awkwardly on his surgically repaired right ankle during an appearance at Fanatics Fest on Saturday. Video of the attempt went viral after he fell to the ground.

Addressing the "elephant in the room" Sunday, Skattebo said he is good following the fall and promised to "not hurt myself before the season," blaming the botched flip on "bouncy" floors. His rookie season was cut short after suffering an open tibia fracture and right ankle dislocation in a Week 8 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

He missed the rest of the season but has made significant progress and is on track to be a full participant in Giants training camp next month. It's not the first time Skattebo has attempted a backflip recently; he stuck the landing after hitting a home run during a celebrity softball game May 30.

New Giants coach John Harbaugh joked last month that he told the running back "no backflips" at minicamp. Despite social media reaction, Skattebo promised he won't change: "I'm just going to keep being me... who cares, f--- it."
