After Reviewing the Game Footage, NFL Rejects Giants Coach's Lawsuit Over Zack Baun and Cam Skattebo Collision – Evidence Confirms NFL’s Decision Was Correct
The Week 8 NFL 2025 matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants was marked by an unfortunate collision between Zack Baun of the Eagles and Cam Skattebo of the Giants, resulting in a serious injury for the rookie running back. Following the incident, Giants head coach filed a lawsuit with the NFL, claiming that Baun’s collision with Skattebo violated NFL safety regulations.
However, after thoroughly reviewing the game footage, the NFL has decided to reject the lawsuit and declared that Zack Baun did not violate any league regulations. The NFL emphasized that the collision was simply an unfortunate incident inherent to the sport, with no signs of malice or intent to injure from Baun’s side.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the decision in a press conference:
“We have thoroughly reviewed the game footage and consulted with experts on the league’s rules. After evaluating all factors, we determined that the collision between Zack Baun and Cam Skattebo was an unfortunate situation, but it was entirely legal within the confines of NFL regulations. We are committed to ensuring the safety of players, but we must also ensure that all decisions are fair and just.”
This decision has put an end to the concerns surrounding the handling of the situation and clarified the circumstances for both fans and teams. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that in football, collisions are inevitable, and sometimes, it’s just an unfortunate accident.
For Zack Baun, he has shown professionalism and dedication after the incident, making it clear that he had no intention of causing harm to Skattebo. After receiving forgiveness from Skattebo’s mother and his teammates, Baun has continued to play without allowing the event to affect his game mentality.
Ultimately, with the NFL’s decision to dismiss the lawsuit, attention can now shift back to the field, where the Eagles continue their journey toward a promising season.
