Jalin Hyatt Injury News & Updates

Hyatt (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday at New England, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

For a second time this season -- and first time since Week 8 -- Hyatt is a healthy scratch, and this will mark his seventh time overall that he won't log an offensive snap through 13 games. The Giants' available wide receivers for Monday's matchup are Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski and Dalen Cambre. Hyatt's next chance to suit up follows the team's Week 14 bye on Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Commanders.

Hyatt was active but did not play in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

In Mike Kafka's first game as New York's interim head coach last Sunday versus Green Bay, Hyatt logged a season-high 62 percent offensive snap share and caught two of four targets for 18 yards. However, that increased usage didn't carry over into Week 12, as Hyatt didn't log a single snap in any capacity. Meanwhile, recent 53-man roster signee Isaiah Hodgins posted a 66 percent offensive snap share, while top WRs Wan'Dale Robinson (83 percent) and Darius Slayton (63 percent) played their usual roles. Perhaps most tellingly for Hyatt's status in the pecking order, special-teams specialist Gunner Olszewski was given eight snaps on offense and rookie undrafted free agent Dalen Cambre got one, suggesting that New York may have decided to phase Hyatt out of the offense altogether moving forward.

Hyatt caught two of four targets for 18 yards against the Packers in a Week 11 loss Sunday.

Hyatt came into Sunday missing two of the Giants' previous three games, including once as a healthy scratch. In the one contest he did play during that span, he worked exclusively on special teams. However, with Mike Kafka filling in as New York's interim head coach following the dismissal of Brian Daboll, Hyatt logged a season-high 62 percent offensive snap share, third-highest among the team's wideouts. That resulted in a season-best 18 receiving yards on a pair of catches, though it has to be mentioned that Jameis Winston's game-sealing interception came on a play during which Hyatt inexplicably stopped his route toward the corner of the end zone. It remains to be seen if that mistake costs Hyatt playing time, and Hyatt's role will likely shrink anyway once Darius Slayton (hamstring) is able to return to action, but for one game at least it appeared the Giants were willing to give the 2023 third-round draft pick a chance to make an impression amidst what has been a hugely disappointing season.

Hyatt (teeth) logged a full practice session Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

A dental issue caused Hyatt to miss practice Wednesday, but a full session one day later suggests the third-year wideout is doing better. Hyatt was inactive this past Sunday against Philadelphia, though it's not clear if he was a healthy scratch or if his dental issue played a part in that decision. As such, Hyatt's level of playing time -- if he's active at all -- this Sunday against San Francisco could provide more insight about his role on offense moving forward.

Giants coach Brian Daboll said Hyatt (wisdom teeth) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt was made inactive as a healthy scratch for New York's loss to the Eagles in Week 8, but he now appears to be missing time due to a dental issue. That Hyatt was left out of the wide receiver rotation Week 8 despite the Giants' depth issues at the position could be an indication that his chances to make an impact with the team that selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft are running out. Even if healthy, Hyatt may again be a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

Hyatt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Hyatt didn't log a single snap through the first two weeks of the season, and then, despite getting into the wideout rotation, he didn't record a single target in Weeks 3 and 4. From Weeks 5-7, Hyatt received nine targets, but he hauled in only three, which all came during the Giants' Week 6 upset win over the Eagles on Thursday Night Football. With Hyatt unavailable, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski are candidates for snaps behind Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Hyatt did not catch his only target in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Denver.

Darius Slayton missed Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, but Hyatt couldn't take advantage of the bump in opportunity. In fact, the only Giants wide receiver to catch a pass was Wan'Dale Robinson, who gathered six receptions on 12 targets for 95 yards. In terms of snap count, Hyatt (25 offensive snaps) lagged far behind Robinson (70) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (74), so it appears Hyatt may drop to No. 4 in the pecking order when Slayton returns to action. On the campaign, Hyatt has managed a meager three catches on nine targets for 17 yards through five games, with all three of his receptions coming in one contest (Week 6 versus Philadelphia).

Hyatt (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Solomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt was limited in practice by an ankle injury, but he'll be available Sunday, while fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful. Despite added opportunities being opened up by injuries to the Giants' wide receiver room, Hyatt's unlikely to find significant success against a tough Broncos secondary considering he has just three catches for 17 yards all season. All of that production came in the Week 6 win over the Eagles.

Hyatt (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt has now logged back-to-back practices due to an ankle issue, meaning he'll likely have to upgrade to full reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 7. With Darius Slayton (hamstring) still not practicing and Malik Nabers (ACL) out for the year, Hyatt will figure to benefit from increased opportunities on offense as long as he's able to gain clearance for Sunday's road contest against the Broncos. The 2023 third-round pick logged his first catches of the year during New York's win over the Eagles in Week 6, in which he secured three of five targets for 17 yards.

Hyatt was limited at Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt has settled into a modest role in New York's offense over the last three games, but it took him until last Thursday's win against the Eagles to make a mark in the box score (3-17-0 on five targets). With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season and Darius Slayton (hamstring) still not practicing, Hyatt is lined up to be involved on game days, assuming he makes it through Week 7 prep unscathed.

Hyatt caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Week 6 during a 34-17 win over Philadelphia.

With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season and Darius Slayton (hamstring) inactive for Week 6, Hyatt by default was called upon for a bigger role. He still put up a modest stat line, though he did reel in catches on back-to-back plays during a second-quarter drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown. However, Hyatt was out-snapped by a 53-29 margin by practice-squad elevation Lil'Jordan Humphrey, who finished with a 4-55-0 line on a team-leading eight targets. That's not a good sign of New York's level of faith in Hyatt, who could fade further out of the picture if Slayton is able to return to action in Week 7 against Denver.

Hyatt did not catch any of his three targets in Sunday's loss to the Saints in Week 5.

With Malik Nabers (knee) out for the season, Hyatt logged a season-high 34 offensive snaps, third-most among Giants wideouts. However, the increase in opportunity did not lead to an increase in production -- Hyatt did draw his first three targets of the campaign, but he didn't haul any of them in. Meanwhile, UDFA wideout Beaux Collins was right behind Hyatt with 28 offensive snaps, though he was only slightly more productive with one catch on three targets for seven yards. The Giants' passing attack as a whole has struggled so far this season, and with Collins potentially continuing to challenge Hyatt for targets behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton, Hyatt's outlook for a Week 6 Thursday night matchup against Philadelphia is bleak, at best.

Hyatt did not get targeted through the air during Sunday's 21-18 Week 4 victory over the Chargers.

In Jaxson Dart's first start for New York, Hyatt logged a 38 percent offensive snap share but did not have a ball thrown his way. The third-year wideout has not gotten a target through four weeks this season, though it's worth noting that he didn't see the field in Week 1 or Week 2 and logged just six offensive snaps in Week 3. Hyatt could be in for a significantly larger role for the remainder of the campaign after Malik Nabers tore his ACL on Sunday, as only Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton are clearly ahead of him on the wideout depth chart. With that being said, Hyatt has struggled to produce so far in the NFL even when given opportunities, so fantasy managers may want to take a wait-and-see approach when determining whether he's worth even a dart throw off the waiver wire.

Hyatt did not log any snaps Sunday in an overtime loss to Dallas.

Hyatt was the only one of New York's active players who did not play at all in the defeat. It was the second straight week that Hyatt went unused, so it's clear early on that the Giants don't see him as a big part of their offense. Darius Slayton and Malik Nabers logged all but one of New York's offensive snaps in the loss, and Wan'Dale Robinson was on the field for 70 percent of the plays, while both Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski participated only on special teams. With that in mind, Hyatt hasn't necessarily slipped below fourth in the pecking order, but the team simply hasn't cared to extend its WR personnel beyond its top three options.

Hyatt did not log any snaps Sunday in a Week 1 loss to the Commanders.

There was no chance to see what kind of chemistry Hyatt could have with new Giants QB Russell Wilson, as the third-year wideout didn't even get on the field. As expected, Malik Nabers dominated passing targets with 12, while Wan'Dale Robinson got eight and Darius Slayton logged just one. Meanwhile, the only other New York wideout to even get any snaps on offense was Beaux Collins, who was on the field for two plays. Hyatt's fantasy viability was already extremely shaky given that he's been slated as No. 4 on New York's wideout depth chart, and Sunday's lack of action further underscores that he's unlikely to make much of an impact this year barring at least one injury ahead of him in the pecking order.

Hyatt caught three of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

Hyatt had a solid stat line but also let two downfield passes slip through his hands, perhaps showing why he's struggled to earn regular-season snaps and targets since the Giants made him a third-round pick in 2023. There have even been whispers about the roster bubble this summer, and Hyatt will likely just be fourth or fifth on the depth chart even if it turns out his job is safe.

Hyatt caught one of two targets for 21 yards in a 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday.

Hyatt sat out New York's preseason opener last Saturday while dealing with an undisclosed issue, but he was able to suit up and log 11 offensive snaps against the Jets. His catch was a 21-yard connection with Russell Wilson on the Giants' first drive of the second quarter. The upcoming season could be a crucial one for Hyatt, as he'll have the opportunity to work with a more stable set of quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart following two disappointing campaigns to begin his NFL career. However, Hyatt is behind each of Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson on the depth chart, making his path to production tricky.

Hyatt (undisclosed) is warming up Saturday and appears set to suit up for the Giants' preseason game against the Jets, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt wasn't able to suit up for New York's preseason opener against Buffalo and had recently been limited to individual drills, but the 2023 third-round pick now looks back to full health. A strong showing versus the Jets could assist Hyatt in his goal securing the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (undisclosed). Hyatt has reportedly bulked up to around 190 pounds after playing last season at 172.

Hyatt (undisclosed) is practicing Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Hyatt was held out of Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo despite taking part in each of the Giants' previous six practices, per Dan Duggan and Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, and the reason for his absence wasn't disclosed. The wideout had missed some practices earlier in training camp due to lower-body tightness, but it's unclear if his absence Saturday was related to that. Whatever the case may be, it's promising for Hyatt's status moving forward that he was able to return to practice Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday, though Duggan notes the receiver did work on the side rather than taking team reps. As such, it bears monitoring how long Hyatt will be limited to side work.

Head coach Brian Daboll said Saturday that Hyatt is working through an undisclosed injury and did not travel with the team for Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

The nature and severity of Hyatt's injury is unknown, but it prevented the 2023 third-rounder from travelling with the team for Saturday's exhibition contest. The Giants' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Jets, and Hyatt will need to return to practice this upcoming week in order to have a chance at playing. With Hyatt, Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Malik Nabers (shoulder) all sidelined, there are opportunities for Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Zach Pascal and Montrell Washington to get more reps with the first-team offense alongside Wan'Dale Robinson.

Hyatt said Friday that he currently weighs 189-190 pounds, after playing last season at around 172, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Bulk and strength have been major concerns dating back to the pre-draft process in 2023 when Hyatt checked in at 6-foot, 176 pounds. He apparently played his second NFL season at an even lighter weight, catching just eight passes across 346 snaps in 16 games. He hopes the extra pounds will help him with blocking and contested catches, but the 2023 third-round pick may nonetheless find himself on the roster bubble this summer.

Hyatt (lower body) is practicing Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt was held out of practice Friday due to cramping/tightness in his lower body. Though he's participating in practice Sunday, he's slated to be eased back, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. It's an important training camp for Hyatt, as he's trying to cement his place as New York's fourth wideout.

Hyatt did not participate in Friday's practice due to cramping and tightness in his lower body, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

Hyatt appears to be past a leg injury that he suffered during mandatory minicamp in June. The 2023 third-rounder is working through some lingering issues early in training camp, but that shouldn't impact his availability for preseason games. Hyatt needs all the reps he can get during training camp, as he's competing for the WR3 job against Darius Slayton, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Zach Pascal, among others.

Hyatt departed Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice early due to an apparent left leg injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt had his left leg stretched by a trainer after exiting a practice drill early, then exchanged words with head coach Brian Daboll. The 2023 third-round pick has benefited from extra first-team reps with new quarterback Russell Wilson to start minicamp, with Malik Nabers (toe) still limited, it's notable that Hyatt is now being forced to miss some practice opportunities even if his injury is minor. Across 33 regular-season games played since entering the NFL, Hyatt has totaled 31 catches for 435 yards and zero touchdowns on 59 targets. He will have two more chances to get back on the field before minicamp wraps up Thursday.

Hyatt caught eight of 19 targets for 62 yards over 16 regular-season games in 2024.

Though he struggled to produce as a rookie in 2023, Hyatt at least showed some flashes of potential. That wasn't really the case in 2024, as more than half of his season yardage total came in a Week 10 game against Carolina in which he posted a modest 39 receiving yards, and he didn't reach double-digit yards in any of his other 15 appearances. While the Giants didn't have a prolific passing game, it's illogical to attribute Hyatt's lack of growth entirely to the team's QB situation, as rookie sensation Malik Nabers managed 109 catches for 1,204 yards in the same offense. New York will likely have a new starting signal-caller in 2025, and veteran wideout Darius Slayton may not be back, which could improve Hyatt's outlook to some extent. However, Nabers will likely command a huge target share again in his sophomore campaign while Wan'Dale Robinson is set to return as the team's No. 2 receiver, which would leave Hyatt -- who will be in the third year of his rookie contract -- battling for looks as the third or

Hyatt did not receive a target in Sunday's 35-14 Week 15 loss to the Ravens.

Hyatt's 20 offensive snaps were fourth-most among Giants wideouts, well behind Malik Nabers (64), Wan'Dale Robinson (52) and Darius Slayton (46). Hyatt wasn't able to draw a target while he was on the field, marking the third time over his past five games that he hasn't had a ball thrown his way. Given his paltry production this season and low standing on the depth chart, as well as the overall struggles of New York's passing game, Hyatt is off the fantasy radar in virtually all formats.

Hyatt recorded two catches on two targets for eight yards against the Cowboys in Thursday's Week 13 loss.

Hyatt, Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson each finished with two catches for New York, and none of them had more than eight receiving yards. Only Malik Nabers, who posted eight catches on 13 targets for 69 yards, was able to put up substantial numbers among the team's wideout corps. Hyatt's paltry reception and yardage totals were his second-highest of the season, which highlights how unproductive he's been this year.

Hyatt totaled four catches on four targets for 39 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to Carolina in Germany.

Coming into Sunday, Hyatt had managed just one catch on eight targets for six yards on the campaign. The second-year wideout finally put together some meaningful production against the Panthers, ranking third on the Giants in receiving yards while tying for third in receptions. Nearly half of Hyatt's yardage came on a 19-yard deep catch down the middle in the second quarter, though he also drew a pass-interference penalty in the first period that netted New York 43 yards. It's also worth noting that quarterback Daniel Jones turned to Hyatt three times with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth, and Hyatt caught all three of his targets on that drive to help set up a game-tying Graham Gano field goal. Hyatt's performance could lead to more looks in the passing game following the team's Week 11 bye, but he probably isn't going to reach the 73 percent offensive snap share he logged Sunday if all three of the receivers above him in the pecking order -- Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton (who was sidelined again

Hyatt is expected to serve as the Giants' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich after head coach Brian Daboll said that Darius Slayton (concussion) is unlikely to make the trip to Germany, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

After sustaining a concussion in last weekend's loss to the Commanders, Slayton didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday or Thursday. The Giants' traveling party will leave for Germany later Thursday, so assuming Slayton stays behind, Hyatt would be the next man up to join Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson in three-receiver sets. The speedy Hyatt will provide the Giants with a downfield threat, but he could struggle to see enough targets to make for an appealing fantasy option in Week 10, even while he takes aim against a porous Carolina secondary.

Hyatt did not receiving a target in Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Commanders.

Hyatt functioned as New York's No. 4 wideout in the contest, but that resulted in just four offensive snaps -- well behind Malik Nabers (62 offensive snaps), Darius Slayton (60) and Wan'Dale Robinson (47). In fact, three Giants tight ends logged more snaps on offense than Hyatt (Theo Johnson with 55, Chris Manhertz with 16 and Daniel Bellinger with 14). Hyatt has just one catch on the campaign and has drawn one or zero targets in seven of the eight games in which he has played. However, he could see a considerable uptick in opportunity Week 10 against Carolina if Darius Slayton, who is currently in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, is unable to suit up.

Hyatt caught one of four targets for six yards in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Cincinnati.

For the second straight week, Hyatt logged a healthy offensive snap count (81 percent Sunday, 68 percent Week 5) with Malik Nabers (concussion) unable to suit up. The increased opportunities haven't amounted to much production , however -- after failing to even get a target last week, Hyatt got only four against the Bengals and made just one catch for a meager six yards. It's clear at this point that the second-year wideout isn't in sync with QB Daniel Jones or New York's offensive game plan as a whole even when he's on the field, and Hyatt could fall back to a minimal snap count Week 7 versus Philadelphia if Nabers is able to return.

Hyatt did not receive a passing target or carry in Sunday's 29-20 Week 5 win over Seattle.

With Malik Nabers (concussion) unable to suit up for the contest, it was expected that Hyatt would get more of an opportunity to produce after topping out at just 15 offensive snaps over his first four games. That opportunity did come to pass -- Hyatt was on the field for 48 of New York's 72 offensive snaps -- but production did not follow, as he failed to receive a target for the second time this season. Hyatt was selected in the third round of the 2023 Draft to help boost what was then an unexciting receiving corps, but he caught just 23 passes on 40 targets over 17 regular-season games as a rookie and now appears to be almost completely an afterthought in the Giants' passing game. Given his performance Sunday, there's little reason for fantasy managers to consider starting him Week 6 against Cincinnati even if Nabers is held out again.

Hyatt failed to catch his only target in Thursday's 20-15 loss to the Cowboys.

Hyatt remained a non-factor for the Giants in Week 4, playing just 13 of the team's 69 offensive snaps. The wide receiver's lack of production against Dallas is rather disheartening knowing that Daniel Jones attempted 40 passes in the contest. Hyatt appears to be an afterthought in New York's offense early in 2024, buried beneath Malik Nabers (concussion), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton at wide receiver.

Hyatt got just one target, which he didn't catch, in a 21-15 victory against the Browns on Sunday.

After Friday's practice, Hyatt refuted a recent report that he requested a trade late this summer, per Tom Canavan of the Associated Press. It's unclear if the rumblings had any impact on his playing time Sunday -- though he logged a season-low 10 offensive snaps, that number wasn't much different than the 15 and 11 he played in Week 1 and Week 2, respectively. Hyatt has drawn just two targets so far this season, neither of which has resulted in a catch. For the time being, he seems to be buried on the wideout depth chart behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (thumb). However, if Slayton's thumb injury causes him to miss any games, Hyatt could see a significant uptick in opportunity.

Hyatt requested a trade from the Giants during the summer, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

As Raanan tells it, Hyatt was unhappy with his standing on the depth chart and said during a practice late in the summer that if the team wasn't going to use him, they should trade him. Through two games, Hyatt has ran just 14 pass routes -- seventh-most on the team -- and appears buried just one year after the team used the 73rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft on the wideout. Coach Brian Daboll has stressed to Hyatt that his time is coming, but he's running as the distant fourth receiver behind Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton and slot man Wan'Dale Robinson. It wouldn't be a shock to see Hyatt supplant Slayton in the near future, but it's clear Hyatt is frustrated at the moment.

Hyatt failed to draw a target while playing 12 of the Giants' 56 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Commanders.

With Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton solidified as the Giants' starting wideout trio, Hyatt has been unable to make much of an impression in the box score through the first two weeks of the season. After failing to secure his lone target in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Vikings, Hyatt didn't draw any looks from quarterback Daniel Jones in Week 2. Hyatt will likely need one of the aforementioned receivers to miss time before he handles a more meaningful snap count.

Hyatt didn't catch his only target in a Week 1 loss to Minnesota on Sunday.

Hyatt logged only 16 offensive snaps in the defeat, well behind fellow wideouts Malik Nabers (71), Darius Slayton (51) and Wan'Dale Robinson (48). That provides pretty clear evidence of where Hyatt is on the depth chart right now, though he could see significantly more opportunity Week 2 versus Washington on Sunday if Slayton is unable to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in time for the contest.

Hyatt caught his only target for no gain in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions.

Hyatt's lone target came from Drew Lock (hip) on the opening drive. Rookie sixth overall pick Malik Nabers wasn't targeted at all on his 12 snaps in the game, so neither of the young speedsters made much of an impact Thursday. Hyatt's coming off a 373-yard rookie season, and the 2023 third-round draft pick is trying to carve out a larger role in 2024. The Giants' second preseason game will be next Saturday in Houston.

Hyatt has been getting more first-team reps than Darius Slayton (undisclosed) during training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

This seems to at least partially be a product of Slayton managing a minor injury, but it's nonetheless a nice opportunity for Hyatt on the heels of a disappointing rookie season. The 2023 third-round pick caught 23 of 40 targets for 373 yards in 17 games last year, averaging 16.2 yards per catch while drawing a target on just 10.6 percent of routes. He'll need to draw targets at a much higher rate to achieve mainstream fantasy relevance, which could be a challenge if fellow WRs Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson develop as the Giants hope. On the other hand, a lack of established at TE and RB could push a huge portion of the team's targets toward the WRs.

Hyatt is expected to be the Giants' top backup wide receiver in 2024 following the team's selection of Malik Nabers with the No. 6 overall pick in last week's NFL Draft, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Hyatt injured his hamstring in the season finale against the Eagles but is presumably over the issue by now and is coming off a rookie season that saw him secure 23 of 40 targets for 373 scoreless yards. He did average a strong 16.2 yards per catch, but the number of catchable passes thrown his way were few and far between as a downfield threat. Darius Slayton is expected to open the season opposite Nabers, with Wan'Dale Robinson in the slot, though the Giants would likely prefer to see Hyatt push Slayton for snaps.

Hyatt (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt sustained a hamstring injury on a five-yard catch in the first half and will not return to Sunday's contest. He will finish his rookie season with 23 catches for 373 yards over 17 games.

Hyatt caught three of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

After being shut out each of the past two weeks, Hyatt bounced back to some extent with his highest receiving yardage total since he exploded for 109 yards against New England in Week 12. It was still a modest performance for the rookie wideout, as he tied for fifth on the team in catches and ranked fifth in receiving yards. Hyatt will have a chance to put a positive final spin on his first NFL campaign next week in a home matchup against the Eagles.

Hyatt was not targeted in the passing game in the Giants' loss to Philadelphia on Monday.

Hyatt logged 35 offensive snaps -- 56 percent of the team's total -- Monday, third-highest among Giants receivers. However, he didn't see the ball come his way a single time, marking the fourth time this season that he's failed to draw any targets. It was also the second straight week without a catch for the rookie, and he's accumulated just two catches for 13 yards over his past three games after seeming to break out with a five-catch, 109-yard effort against the Patriots in Week 12 before the Giants had their bye. Hyatt has been on the field enough to make an impact throughout the campaign, but with highly inconsistent production and mostly poor quarterback play behind him, he's been a non-factor in most fantasy formats.

Hyatt caught five of six targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 10-7 win over the Patriots.

Hyatt got free downfield for catches of 29 and 41 yards en route to a career high in receiving yards. Fellow deep threat Darius Slayton (neck) was active after being doubtful heading into Sunday's game but was limited to 16 yards on three targets while Hyatt capitalized on his increased role with the best game of his rookie season. The Giants' third-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft (73rd overall) will look to build on this promising performance in Week 14 against the Packers following a Week 13 bye.

Hyatt has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

Hyatt was placed in concussion protocol after this past Sunday's 49-17 loss to the Cowboys, but he has recovered in time to face the Commanders in Week 11. The rookie wide receiver has a pair of catches over 40 yards among his 11 receptions this season, but Hyatt will be catching passes from third-string quarterback Tommy DeVito on Sunday.

Hyatt (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt suffered a concussion this past Sunday at Dallas, and after kicking off Week 11 prep with no on-field work Wednesday, he made noticeable progress one day later by putting in some work. Still, he likely has multiple steps to take in his quest through the protocol for head injuries, the last of which will be gaining clearance from an independent neurologist. Hyatt will need to do so by Saturday in order to be available Sunday in Washington.

Hyatt (concussion) will not practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Hyatt entered the concussion protocol in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Cowboys, making his status for Week 11 against the Commanders uncertain. The rookie third-round pick will need to gain full clearance before being allowed to retake the field.

Hyatt won't return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to a concussion, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Hyatt went to the locker room in the second half of Sunday's matchup and will be unavailable down the stretch due to his concussion. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for next Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Hyatt finished Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Raiders with two catches on five targets for 19 yards.

Hyatt tied for second on New York with five targets, but those opportunities yielded limited production. The rookie speedster did at least manage to turn things around a bit after he failed to garner a target last week against the Jets, but Hyatt's role and performance continue to vary wildly from week to week. He has failed to register a catch in four different contests this season, but Hyatt has also posted an 89-yard effort (in Week 2 against Arizona) and a 75-yard performance (in Week 7 against Washington). Daniel Jones may have suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday, leaving the Giants' already struggling passing game potentially in the hands of rookie UDFA Tommy DeVito and/or veteran backup Matt Barkley for at least the next several weeks. That doesn't help Hyatt's outlook, but even with Jones behind center the young wideout hasn't been able to put up the type of consistent numbers to make him a reliable fantasy asset.

Hyatt caught two of five targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 14-7 win over the Commanders.

The rookie caught passes of 33 and 42 yards while flashing the speed that caused the Giants to trade up in this year's draft to select him in the third round. Hyatt doesn't offer much more than the ability to stretch the field at this stage of his career, but four of his first nine NFL receptions have gone for 30 yards or more. Regardless of whether Daniel Jones (neck) or Tyrod Taylor is under center in Week 8, Hyatt could have a hard time making an impact against a stingy Jets secondary.

Hyatt caught three of four targets for 21 yards Sunday night in a loss to the Bills.

Hyatt played on 73 percent of New York's offensive snaps, the highest mark of his career thus far. His three catches were also a campaign high, though he was able to turn the receptions into only 21 yards. The rookie looked like he could emerge as the Giants' much-needed deep threat when he caught two passes for 89 yards Week 2 against Arizona, but his other five receptions this season have gone for just 31 combined yards. While the increased snap count Sunday is an encouraging sign for his outlook going forward, the Giants' passing game as a whole has struggled this season, and Hyatt has yet to put up the type of production that should inspire confidence in fantasy managers.

Hyatt caught both of his targets for 10 yards Monday in a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks.

Hyatt was again mostly a non-factor in the passing game, as his only two catches went for three and seven yards, respectively. If there's a positive takeaway for fantasy managers who roster the rookie wideout, it's that he tallied a season-high 27 offensive snaps, per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, and was on the field more than fellow wideout Isaiah Hodgins for the first time this season. Hyatt flashed his big-play potential when he racked up 89 yards on two receptions in New York's only win so far Week 2 against Arizona, but he's also been shut out twice this season in addition to Monday's quiet performance. The very low weekly floor makes Hyatt difficult to hang onto in fantasy, though it may be worth giving him another week to see if the increased snap count becomes a trend as the Giants look to light a fire under what has been a mostly abysmal passing game thus far.

Hyatt didn't receive any targets against the 49ers in a Week 3 loss Thursday.

Hyatt provided a boost to the Giants' passing game with two catches for 89 yards against Arizona in Week 2, but he didn't see a single ball thrown his way against San Francisco. This the second time the rookie speedster has been shut out in receptions through three games this season, and he's yet to be on the field for more than 22 offensive snaps in any contest. With that context in mind, Hyatt isn't a reliable option in fantasy at this point in the campaign.

Hyatt caught both his targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Cardinals.

The rookie flashed his big-play ability as he led the Giants in receiving yards, hauling in a 58-yard reception on the team's first play of the second half to kick-start a comeback from a 20-0 deficit. Hyatt failed to catch his only target in his NFL debut last week, and while he may not see big volume as part of a crowded wideout depth chart, his ability to get deep figures to be a key element of the New York passing game this season. Up next Thursday night is a Week 3 clash with a 49ers secondary that just saw another rookie, Puka Nacua, erupt for 15 catches and 147 yards against it.

Hyatt didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's Week 1 40-0 blowout loss against the Cowboys.

The Giants drafted Hyatt in the third round of this year's draft to provide a boost to their passing game, but the team's offense struggled as a whole against Dallas' stifling defense Sunday. Hyatt was on the field for just 25 of New York's 70 offensive snaps, fourth-most among wideouts on the team behind Darius Slayton (47 snaps), Parris Campbell (47) and Isaiah Hodgins (42). It's uncertain where Hyatt stands in the pecking order, but he may struggle to produce if he's on the field less than half the time. The rookie will look to make a stronger impression in next Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals.

Hyatt failed to catch his lone target in Saturday's preseason loss to the Jets on Saturday.

Hyatt put together a strong showing against the Panthers last week (4-35-1), but he failed to get involved in the Giants' final tune-up game. The rookie wideout brings tremendous speed as a slot receiver, but he may find it hard to earn snaps ahead veteran starters Isaiah Hodgins and Darius Slayton out of the gates. Assuming he makes the final roster, Hyatt should provide depth for the Giants ahead of a Week 1 matchup against the Cowboys on Sept. 10.

Hyatt caught four of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason win over the Panthers.

After a quiet preseason debut last week, the 2023 third-round pick flashed his big-play potential with a 33-yard TD reception from Tyrod Taylor in the second quarter, as Hyatt broke free of veteran cornerback Eric Rowe to get wide open in the end zone. Hyatt is in a dogfight for snaps and targets in a crowded Giants receiver room, but if he keeps making an impact, his presence could encourage starting QB Daniel Jones and coach Brian Daboll to open up the playbook and attack downfield more often than they did last season.

Hyatt caught his only target for minus-4 yards in Friday's 21-16 preseason loss to the Lions.

Hyatt was tackled well behind the line of scrimmage on his only touch in his NFL debut. The rookie third-round pick out of Tennessee has reportedly been impressing with his speed in practice while mixing in with the starters. Perhaps Hyatt's playmaking ability will shine through more in New York's second preseason game against the Panthers.

Hyatt is returning to practice Thursday after exiting early Wednesday due to heat exhaustion, John Fennelly of Giants Wire reports.

He's far from the first rookie to struggle with heat and resulting fatigue during his first NFL training camp. The third-round pick still has a wide range of playing-time outcomes for his debut campaign, as the Giants' WR room offers quantity more so than quality, with up to seven or eight guys potentially in the mix for top-three roles. Hyatt will probably come off the bench Week 1 but still has plenty of time to make an impression before then.

Hyatt walked off the field with trainers after sustaining an apparent injury during 7-on-7 drills Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Hyatt exited practice early Wednesday, but the severity of his injury remains to be seen. The rookie third-round pick is staring down the opportunity to compete for a significant role on offense alongside Darius Slayton or Isaiah Hodgins, but do to so he'd have to impress during training camp.

Hyatt (hamstring) did some drills at rookie minicamp but didn't participate in 7-on-7s, Paul Schwartz of the NY Post reports.

Hyatt hurt his hamstring at the NFL Combine, but only after running a 4.40 and posting a 133-inch broad jump and 40-inch vertical. The rookie third-round pick reportedly is working on gaining weight after checking in at only 176 pounds at the combine, recently noting that he's up to 180 and wants to play at about 190. Hyatt should be cleared for training camp, if not spring practices, and he could challenge Darius Slayton or Isaiah Hodgins for perimeter snaps early on.

Hyatt (hamstring) said Saturday that he wants to play at about 190 pounds, which is 10 pounds above his current weight, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Hyatt indicated that playing at the higher weight "gives him more confidence to make contested catches and not get bumped off routes," per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. The 21-year-old was taken by the Giants in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft and, because of his speed, he could work as a downfield threat for the team.

The Giants selected Hyatt (hamstring) in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 73rd overall.

Hyatt is an interesting receiver prospect and the Giants make for an interesting landing spot. New York has a crowded receiver room with a mix of vets and developmental projects like Wan'Dale Robinson. Hyatt, who won the Biletnikoff Award in 2022 for Tennessee, may not be a "complete" receiver, but his big-play ability is for real. He averaged 18.9 yards per reception in 2022 and caught 15 touchdowns. However, Hyatt has a light frame at 6-foot and 176 pounds and had an interesting role as a vertical option out of the slot, so it remains to be seen how that will translate. If nothing else, Hyatt brings a speedy downfield element to the Giants offense.
