The New York Giants continue to deal with significant injuries as they will likely be without wide receiver Darius Slayton for their Week 10 game against the Carolina Panthers in Germany as he is still in the concussion protocol, according to head coach Brian Daboll (h/t ESPN’s Jordan Raanan).

Slayton suffered a concussion during Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. He finished that game with 60 total yards (49 receiving) and hauled in all three of his targets, but the Giants were unable to secure a win at home as they dropped their fourth straight game.
He had recently been a key part of the Giants’ passing game, including a four-reception, 108-yard performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8, and a 122-yard performance with one touchdown catch in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks . .
On the season, Slayton has totaled 469 receiving yards, with 32 receptions among the G-men’s secondary targets. Without him, Jalin Hyatt could see more action as the team’s third or fourth receiving option, while Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson will likely see more targets as the primary weapons.

The Giants will likely utilize the running game more in Week 10 without Slayton, led by breakout rookie sensation Tyrone Tracy Jr., who has quickly risen to the depths as the team’s frontrunner. In Week 9, the Giants ran more rushing plays (31) than passing plays, with Tracy leading the way with 66 yards on 16 carries.
New York’s season is in the gutter with a 2-7 record, but they still need a win over the Panthers in Germany to break the horrible losing skid. They will likely have to do this without a key member of their offense in Slayton.
