Limited again Tuesday Slayton (foot) was listed as limited on Tuesday's practice estimate, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton maintained his listing in the first two days of the week, but the Giants actually held a walkthrough Tuesday, which may indicate the second-year wideout is attempting to gut out a foot injury. He played through the concern this past Sunday against Washington, tallying a season-low two catches for 41 yards. Fortunately for Slayton, he salvaged his stat line with a 23-yard TD. He'll attempt to bump from LP to FP on Wednesday, at which point the Giants will give an indication of his availability for Thursday's game in Philadelphia.

Listed as limited participant Slayton (foot) is listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's win over Washington, but he managed to play through his foot injury while corralling two of four targets for 41 yards and a score. The second-year pro did see his lowest snap share (83 percent) and target count of the season, so it's clear that the foot issue limited him, which makes it encouraging to see the Giants expect he would've practiced to begin this week. Slayton will work to upgrade to full practice activity ahead of Thursday's contest in Philadelphia.

Gets into end zone Week 6 Slayton brought in two of four targets for 41 yards and a touchdown in the Giants' 20-19 win over the Washington Football Team on Sunday. He also lost three yards on his sole rush.

Impact Slayton looked like he might be headed to a bigger day when he notched a 23-yard scoring grab in the left corner of the end zone late in the first quarter. However, the second-year speedster ultimately logged his lowest target count of the season, which led to his second-fewest receiving yards of the campaign. The Auburn product's visit to the end zone was his first since Week 1, and he'll look to repeat the feat at the expense of the Eagles in a Thursday night Week 7 battle.

Suiting up Sunday Slayton (foot) is listed as active Sunday against Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact After a week in which he was listed as limited on every practice report due to a foot injury, Slayton is upholding coach Joe Judge's expectation from Friday that the second-year wide receiver will play Week 6. On the season, Slayton has taken full advantage of his 40 targets through five games, putting up a respectable 23-365-2 line. He'll look to add to it versus a Washington defense that has allowed 8.95 YPT (12th-highest figure in the NFL) to wide receivers in 2020.

Impact Coach Joe Judge said Friday that Slayton that should be able to suit up. The second-year pro has emerged as the focal point of a struggling passing game, leading the team in every relevant receiving stat while accounting for 23.4 percent of the targets. Fantasy managers would be wise to check back for confirmation of Slayton's availability when the Giants release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff on Sunday.

Remains limited Slayton was a limited participant at Thursday's practice, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact The Giants held a more traditional practice session Thursday after staging a walk-through Wednesday, but Slayton wasn't able to take a step up in terms of his listed activity.

Big day in loss to Dallas Slayton caught eight of 11 targets for 129 yards in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact The second-year receiver was, by far, Daniel Jones' favorite option on the afternoon, as no other Giant saw more than five targets or hauled in more than 42 receiving yards. Slayton's had to make do with yardage rather than scores lately, however -- Jones only has two passing TDs on the year so far, and Slayton caught them both back in the Giants' opener. The duo will look to hook up in the end zone again next week at home against Washington.
