Dante Pettis - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Reaches end zone Pettis recorded five receptions on five targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-3 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Pettis was elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week and has delivered five receptions on each occasion. In Sunday's victory, Pettis recorded a five-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter to put the Giants up 15-3. He also tallied a long reception of 27 yards, which helped set up a 49-yard field goal during the team's first drive of the second quarter. It's unclear what role Pettis may be able to maintain once the Giants' receiving corps gets healthier, though Pettis has made the most of his current opportunity.

Promoted to active roster Pettis was signed to the Giants' active roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Michael Elsen of the team's official site reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was a gameday elevation from the practice squad for Sunday's loss to the Rams, but he'll now join the active roster in a longer-term capacity after C.J. Board suffered a broken arm. Pettis caught five of 11 targets for 48 yards during his season debut and could continue seeing a similar role until one or more of Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) or Darius Slayton (hamstring) are able to return.

Back to practice squad Pettis reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transactions report.

Impact Pettis reverting to the practice squad is an automatic transaction after he was elevated for Sunday's loss to the Rams. Versus Los Angeles, Pettis secured five of 11 targets for 48 yards, benefiting from increased volume due to the team's normal starting wideouts. He also recorded one tackle when a pass intended for him was intercepted.

Boost in volume due to absences Pettis brought in five of 11 targets for 48 yards in the Giants' 38-11 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact With Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both inactive and Kadarius Toney (ankle) eventually joining them on the sideline Sunday, Pettis was called upon for his most extensive action since his rookie 2018 season in San Francisco. Pettis wasn't exactly efficient with his targets, but considering Daniel Jones was under duress throughout the afternoon, the receiver's totals were serviceable. Despite the solid performance, Pettis could well be back on the practice squad within days and perhaps remain there if at least a couple of the team's sidelined wideouts are available for Week 7 against the Panthers.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Elevated from practice squad Pettis was elevated from the Giants' practice squad Saturday, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.

Impact Pettis is being promoted to the Giants' game day roster in order to provide roster insurance for fellow wideout Darius Slayton, who is questionable for Week 6 with a hamstring injury. The Giants have been ravished by injuries to their offense, and Kenny Golladay is the latest to be ruled out after hyperextending his knee in Week 5. On a positive note, Kadarius Toney (ankle, questionable) is expected to play, and Sterling Shepard is also making his return from a hamstring injury. Even if Darius Slayton is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Pettis will likely have a hard time seeing the field behind the Giants' healthy pass catchers.
