The New York Giants’ wide receiver, is scheduled to miss Week 10 in Germany against the Carolina Panthers.
“Giants coach Brian Daboll told reporters that WR Darius Slayton (concussion protocol) is unlikely to make the trip to Germany,” NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on November 7. “Jalin Hyatt would likely step in.”
Daboll first intimated that Slayton would not accompany the squad overseas on November 6, but that early warning sign looks to have become a reality one day later.
Along with Hyatt, New York Daily News reporter Pat Leonard suggested that veteran wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins could be “a factor” against the Panthers. Hodgins has only appeared in one game this season, against the Cincinnati Bengals, tallying one reception for five yards.
Hyatt, the 2023 third-round pick, has been targeted eight times this season and has only one reception for six yards. Like Hodgins, the youngster’s greatest impact came against the Bengals, but he has yet to recreate some of the flashes he showed as a rookie.
