DARIUS SLAYTON NEWS

Listed as limited Tuesday The Giants estimated Slayton (thumb) as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Impact New York held a walk-through session Tuesday, but Slayton would have been operating under some restrictions if the Giants had held a traditional practice. Slayton may need to upgrade to full participation on Wednesday's practice report to avoid taking a designation into Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Estimated as limited participant Slayton (thumb) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The Giants held a walkthrough Monday, so Slayton's activity level is only an estimation, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see the No. 3 wideout listed as 'limited' Monday. X-rays on Slayton's thumb came up negative Monday after he was briefly forced out of Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns. That bodes well for his chances of being cleared to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Cowboys.

X-rays on thumb return negative Slayton underwent X-rays on his thumb following Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns that returned negative, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Slayton was briefly forced out of Sunday's contest early in the fourth quarter due to the thumb issue, but he returned with 7:40 remaining for the start of the Giants' third drive of the quarter and finished the afternoon with a 1-7-0 receiving line on two targets while logging 81 percent of snaps. The wideout might have been playing through some discomfort the rest of the game, but with X-rays coming back negative, Slayton would seem to have a good chance at being available for the Giants' Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys on Thursday night. Those in deeper leagues planning on using Slayton in Week 4 fantasy lineups will still want to keep a close eye on Giants practice reports leading up to Thursday.

Three grabs against Washington Slayton caught three of four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders.

Impact The veteran receiver finished a distant second on the Giants in catches and targets to dynamic rookie Malik Nabers, who posted a 10-127-1 line and saw more targets (18) than the rest of the team put together. Slayton was, however, the intended target on a pair of two-point attempts from Daniel Jones that misfired, after Graham Gano (hamstring) was injured on the opening kickoff. Slayton has seen exactly four targets, and caught three of them, in each of New York's first two games this season, giving him a limited ceiling heading into a Week 3 clash with the Browns.

Ready for Sunday's contest Slayton (concussion) practiced full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact In the wake of entering the concussion protocol earlier this week, Slayton was held out of drills Wednesday before getting some non-contact work one day later. His full practice Friday was accompanied by no game status for Week 2, indicating he gained clearance from an independent neurologist. Thus, Slayton will team up with Malik Nabers (knee), Wan'Dale Robinson and Jalin Hyatt at wide receiver for New York's offense this weekend.

Upgrades to limited Thursday Slayton (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Slayton entered the protocol for head injuries in the wake of the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Vikings. After sitting out Wednesday's session, he was back on the field for some drills on day later, indicating he's through at least a few of the five steps of the aforementioned protocol. Slayton will have one more opportunity to get back to all activity this week, but he'll still need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up Sunday at Washington.

Won't practice Wednesday Coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Slayton (concussion) won't participate in practice, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Impact Slayton won't yet practice as he works his way through the NFL's concussion protocol. The No. 3 wideout will have two more opportunities to increase his activity level before receiving an injury designation for Week 2, but he'll need to gain full clearance in order to suit up Sunday against Washington. Jalin Hyatt will have a path to increased offensive snaps if Slayton misses any time.

In concussion protocol Coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Slayton is in the concussion protocol, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Impact Slayton secured three of four targets for 27 yards while playing 72 percent of offensive snaps during Sunday's 28-6 loss to the Vikings, and he'll now need to fully clear the league's five-step concussion protocol before suiting up again. The speedster is entrenched as a starter in three-receiver sets alongside Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson. If he's unavailable Week 2 versus the Commanders, Jalin Hyatt could get an opportunity to step up as the No. 3 WR.

Giants' Darius Slayton slams critics and the Daniel Jones double standard New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton slams critics of quarterback Daniel Jones and what he feels is a provable double standard.

AUGUST 23 • USATODAY.COM

Leading receiver Saturday Slayton caught all three of his targets for a team-high 59 yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason loss to the Texans.

Impact The speedster quickly reforged his connection with Daniel Jones in the quarterback's first game action since he tore his ACL in Week 9 of last season, hauling in a 44-yard strike in the second quarter that nearly went for a touchdown, although Slayton was ruled down at the one-yard line. The 27-year-old has led the Giants in receiving yards in four of the last five seasons despite never having an 800-yard campaign, and while that honor is expected to pass to rookie Malik Nabers in 2024, Slayton should still have a big role in the team's passing game.
