Jalin Hyatt could get elevated Giants role vs. Commanders after Darius Slayton injury
NY Post
For Brian Daboll, the decision is straightforward.
If Darius Slayton, who is in concussion protocol, is out for the Giants’ Week 2 clash against the Commanders, is it as simple as Jalin Hyatt elevating into his role and getting that playing time?
“It is,” Daboll answered before Giants practice Wednesday.
Hyatt’s lack of action was one of the more notable storylines from the Giants’ 28-6 loss to the Vikings in their season opener.
He played just 16 snaps and was targeted by quarterback Daniel Jones only once, which he dropped.
“We have good receivers in that room, we wanted to go with more experience,” Hyatt said Wednesday. “There’s nothing wrong with that. For me, it’s just getting better, focus on myself.”

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
