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.”
