DARIUS SLAYTON NEWS

Officially listed as questionable Slayton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ Advance Media reports.

Impact This questionable designation comes as no surprise considering Slayton's expected to be a game-time decision. If he suits up, Slayton will be on the field for the first time since hurting his hamstring in Week 3. Health permitting, Slayton will immediately take on a prominent role in a Giants receiving corps that will be without both Kadarius Toney (ankle) and Kenny Golladay (knee).

Could be game-time call Slayton (hamstring) is participating at Friday's practice and could be a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Slayton will practice in some capacity for the third straight day, but he'll likely be stuck with the questionable tag for Week 7. If available, the 24-year-old would likely operate as New York's No. 2 wideout with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) trending in the wrong direction for this weekend's contest.

Remains limited in practice Slayton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Slayton has now been limited in five consecutive practices, but since he's missed each of the Giants' last three games he may need to log a full session Friday to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers. Despite having not played Week 3, Slayton may be one of the Giants' healthier pass catchers at the moment. Sterling Shepard (hamstring), John Ross (hamstring) and Kaden Smith (knee) joined Slayton as limited participants at Thursday's practice, while Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle), Evan Engram (calf) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) were non-participants.

Logs limited showing Wednesday Slayton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton has missed three straight games due to a hamstring injury, but getting back on the field was something a few of his fellow wide receivers were unable to do Wednesday. In particular, Kenny Golladay (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle) and even John Ross (hamstring) didn't practice, leaving Slayton, Sterling Shepard, Dante Pettis and Collin Johnson as the healthy WRs on the Giants roster.

Missing third straight Slayton (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton took a questionable designation into the weekend after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he ultimately didn't make enough progress to avoid a third straight absence. With Kenny Golladay (knee) also inactive for Week 6, Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney should be locked into full-time starting roles, with the likes of Collin Johnson, C.J. Board and John Ross expected to rotate in alongside them in three-receiver sets.

Impact Final word on Slayton's status should arrive around 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, when the Giants will reveal their inactive list. The Giants are already missing top wideout Kenny Golladay (knee) for the Week 6 contest, while Slayton's availability appears to be less locked in than rookie Kadarius Toney's (ankle), who is listed as questionable but expected to play. Slayton has missed the Giants' past two games with the hamstring injury.

Appears truly questionable Slayton (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Duggan suggests Slayton, LT Andrew Thomas (foot) and LG Ben Bredeson (hand) are truly questionable, whereas WR Kadarius Toney (ankle, questionable) has the official designation but is expected to play. Slayton missed the past two games with hamstring injuries, in which time Kenny Golladay hyperextended his knee and Toney nearly had a 200-yard game. It makes for an interesting situation moving forward, but Toney and Sterling Shepard are safer bets than Slayton to see targets this week, especially now that the Giants also have John Ross as a deep threat outside the numbers.

Another limited practice Slayton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact The same can be said for Sterling Shepard as both wide receivers attempt to end their absences at two games. On a positive note, the Giants are optimistic about the ability of Shepard and Slayton to do so, as coach Joe Judge told Dan Salomone of the team's official site earlier Thursday. New York is expected to be without top wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) for at least Sunday's contest versus the Rams, so Slayton could have an elevated profile in the passing game if he's active this weekend.

Back to limited practice Slayton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact The same can be said for Sterling Shepard, who, like Slayton, missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury of his own. Shepard and Slayton were joined by rookie Kadarius Toney (ankle) as limited, too, while No. 1 wide receiver Kenny Golladay is expected to sit out at least one contest due to a hyperextended knee. If Slayton does enough to be able to play Sunday versus the Rams, he could be one of the top candidates among Giants skill-position players for targets.

Out again Slayton (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same goes for Sterling Shepard, whose absence has freed up slot work for first-round pick Kadarius Toney. Slayton's missing perimeter snaps have mostly gone to a mix of John Ross, Collin Johnson and C.J. Board, with Ross coming on strong last week to put up 3-78-1 in his first game back from IR. In any case, Slayton and Shepard will shoot for a Week 6 return against the Rams.

Takes no practice reps Thursday New York listed Slayton (hamstring) as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Both Slayton and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) were withheld from team drills for the second straight day and fifth consecutive practice overall, a discouraging sign for either receiver's chances of playing Sunday in Dallas. According to Tom Rock of Newsday, Shepard appeared to be further along in his recovery from the injury based on how he fared while taking part in individual drills on the side during the open portion of Thursday's practice, though Slayton seemingly took a step forward by donning full pads for his workout, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Even so, Slayton will likely need to upgrade to at least limited activity in team drills during Friday's practice if he's to have a legitimate chance at avoiding a second straight missed game Sunday in Dallas.
