Darius Slayton - 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.

Jakob Johnson - Inks to active roster The Giants signed Johnson to the active roster on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Johnson spent time with New York throughout the offseason and earned an initial spot on the team's practice squad, though he was cut on Friday. After the Giants' loss to the Vikings in Week 1, though, it looks like the team is exploring some schematic changes that could make an experienced fullback valuable. That could foreshadow the running game being leaned on versus Washington on the road on Sunday.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette - Joins Big Blue The Giants signed Smith-Marsette on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Smith-Marsette fell short of making Carolina's initial 53-man roster in late August, but now he's found a spot on the Giants' active roster. The 25-year-old wideout is expected to assume New York's kick- and punt-return duties with Gunner Olszewski (groin) likely missing a couple months.

Darius Muasau - Nabs interception in NFL debut Muasau posted six tackles (four solo) and intercepted a pass in a Week 1 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.

Impact Muasau had a successful NFL regular-season debut after being selected in the fourth round of April's NFL Draft. The linebacker recorded two particularly notable plays -- an interception of Sam Darnold late in the third quarter and a tackle of running back Myles Gaskin for a three-yard loss late in the fourth, though Minnesota was essentially running out the clock on the latter play. Muasau played 82 percent of New York's defensive snaps in the contest, earning that workload with his strong play. Per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site, Micah McFadden was slated to be on a snap "pitch count" if Muasua struggled, but McFadden didn't end up seeing the field due to the rookie's performance.

Dexter Lawrence II - Logs Week 1 sack Lawrence recorded three tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

Impact Lawrence sacked Minnesota QB San Darnold on the Vikings' first drive of the contest to help force a three-and-out. Though the Clemson product is considered one of the league's premier defensive linemen, he doesn't typically put up big sack numbers, and he recorded a modest 4.5 sacks last year. However, Lawrence's impact on the Giants' pass rush is monumental, as evidenced by his six quarterback pressures Sunday.
