Full practice Wednesday Slayton (concussion) practiced in full Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton made a late departure from a Week 9 loss to the Commanders and subsequently was placed in the concussion protocol. He wasn't able to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in time to travel with the Giants to Germany for a Week 10 matchup with the Panthers, but following the team's bye, he wasn't inhibited in the first session of Week 11 prep. It's unclear if Slayton is out of the protocol for head injuries, but Wednesday's uncapped practice indicate he's just about cleared for game action again.

Won't travel to Germany Slayton (concussion) will not travel with the Giants to Germany and will be out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton was placed in concussion protocol following Sunday's loss to the Commanders and has yet to practice this week, indicating he hasn't made significant progress in his recovery. As a result, he'll stay stateside for the Giants' Week 10 game in Germany, though he should have a better chance to return after the team's bye for a Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers. Jalin Hyatt will have the opportunity to step up in Slayton's absence.

Week 10 status dicey Coach Brian Daboll said Slayton (concussion) won't practice Thursday and is unlikely to make the trip to Munich, Germany for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Duggan of The A...

Impact Slayton has made no noticeable progress through the protocol for head injuries after he suffered a concussion this past Sunday against the Giants. If Slayton indeed isn't able to join his teammates, Jalin Hyatt will be the next player up at wide receiver alongside Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson.

Not practicing Wednesday Giants head coach said that Slayton (concussion) won't practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Slayton's absence from practice suggests he hasn't made much progress yet in his recovery from the concussion he sustained during this past Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders. Daboll noted that the receiver may not make the trip to Munich in advance of Sunday's game against the Panthers, but further clarity on Slayton's status for Week 10 should arrive when the Giants' traveling party leaves for Germany on Thursday night.

Placed in concussion protocol Slayton has been placed in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol following Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Slayton was evaluated for a head injury late in the fourth quarter, and the tests revealed a concussion. The veteran wide receiver will need to be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can resume playing. Slayton's placement in concussion protocol could affect the interest in him from other teams prior to the Nov. 5 trade deadline.

Concussion check ordered up Slayton got checked for a concussion during Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Prior to exiting late in the fourth quarter, Slayton had gathered in all three targets for 49 yards and taken one carry for 11 yards. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, he'll be subject to league protocol in order to suit up again.

WR Darius Slayton: 'You got to make the plays to get it done' Wide receiver Darius Slayton speaks to the media following the team's Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

OCTOBER 29 • GIANTS.COM

Hits for another long gain Monday Slayton brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards in the Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.

Impact Slayton led the Giants in receiving yards with his second-highest total of the campaign. The veteran wideout also commanded a lot more of Daniel Jones' attention after logging only one target in Week 7, and Slayton now has a combined 29 looks in three of the past four contests. The speedster could still thrive if embattled head coach Brian Daboll opts to make a change at quarterback from Jones to Drew Lock heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Commanders, considering Lock has shown a willingness to throw deep throughout his career.

Quiet in Nabers' return Slayton caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact With star rookie Malik Nabers out the previous two weeks due to a concussion, Slayton had stepped as one of QB Daniel Jones' primary targets, totaling 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown. However, Nabers returned Sunday, and Slayton predictably faded back into a lesser role. New York's offense struggled as a whole in the contest -- the team totaled a meager 105 passing yards -- and Slayton was on the field for all 58 of the team's snaps, so there's reason to believe the performance was a low point rather than a new norm. Still, it's been pretty clear this season that the veteran wideout is going to struggle to put up useful fantasy numbers whenever the frequently targeted Nabers is on the field.

Cleared to face Philly Slayton (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Slayton should get plenty of playing time but is highly unlikely to match his total of 11 targets from each of the past two games now that Malik Nabers (concussion/groin) is available. Slayton's 22 targets over the past two weeks were six more than he saw over the first four games combined (15) with Nabers in the lineup.

Stays limited in practice Slayton (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact With back-to-back capped sessions in his back pocket this week due to a groin injury, Slayton will have only one more chance for full participation in practice Friday before the Giants potentially give him a designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Eagles. Standout rookie WR Malik Nabers reached the final phase of the concussion protocol Thursday, while Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) practiced fully, so Slayton seemingly is the least healthy of the Giants' top options at the position at the moment.

Limited by groin injury Slayton was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a groin injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact There was no hint of limitation this past Sunday, with Slayton drawing 11 targets for a second straight game and playing 86 percent of snaps in a 17-7 loss to the Bengals. He briefly left the contest to be checked for a concussion, but he returned in short order and continued drawing steady targets in the absence of Malik Nabers, who remains in concussion protocol and also was a limited practice participant Wednesday. Slayton's fantasy appeal for Week 7 against the Eagles hinges on both his health and Nabers'.

WR Darius Slayton on SNF loss to Bengals Wide receiver Darius Slayton speaks to the media after the Giants' Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

OCTOBER 14 • GIANTS.COM

Leads team with 11 targets Slayton finished with six receptions (11 targets) for 57 yards in Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Bengals.

Impact Slayton was briefly evaluated and cleared from a concussion after landing hard in the end zone on a missed connection late in Sunday's loss, according to Giants' beat reporter Dan Salomone. The injury scare actually drew a pass interference flag that led to the ensuing Tyrone Tracy rushing touchdown. The 27-year-old Slayton finished the contest with a solid PPR performance, but his upside leaves much to be desired heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Eagles. He will receive a small boost in projections should Malik Nabers (concussion) remain sidelined for a third straight game.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Nabers out again Week 6 Slayton is set to remain the Giants' top option on the outside Sunday against the Bengals, as Malik Nabers (concussion) has been ruled out, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Slayton stepped up with 122 receiving yards and a touchdown on 11 targets in Nabers' absence against the Seahawks in Week 5, matching Slayton's receiving yardage total from the previous four games combined. He's well positioned to make the most of the additional volume in a primetime matchup against a struggling Bengals defense. Jalin Hyatt will likely get the majority of reps on the outside opposite Slayton, while Wan'Dale Robinson will continue to man the slot.
