New York Giants receiver Jalin Hyatt could see an increased role in the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders if Darius Slayton, currently in concussion protocol, is unable to play. Despite being a third-round draft pick in 2023 with high expectations, Hyatt played only 16 snaps and dropped his lone target in the season opener against the Vikings. Head coach Brian Daboll has stated that Hyatt is currently the fourth receiver on the depth chart, behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Slayton. Hyatt's limited playing time and performance have been attributed to the team's preference for more experienced receivers and his inability to surpass Slayton during training camp. With Slayton's availability in question, this presents an opportunity for Hyatt to demonstrate his value and reliability to the coaching staff. Daboll expressed confidence in Hyatt's potential to step up if needed, emphasizing that specific roles could change week to week.
