This is not the first positive sign in his rehab. Back in March, Giants general manager Joe Schoen said Skattebo was in a good place mentally and physically, and even joked that he saw him jogging, running, and jumping on former teammates at Arizona’s pro day. Schoen also made clear the team planned to ease him back, with the regular season still months away.
