Slayton (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Slayton injured his hamstring during the Giants' Week 5 loss at New Orleans and hasn't practiced in the meantime, sitting out last Thursday's win against the Eagles in the process. He'll have two more chances this week to mix into drills before New York potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Denver.

Slayton (hamstring) is ruled out for Thursday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Slayton will miss Thursday's divisional matchup due to a hamstring injury sustained during Sunday's loss to the Saints. His next opportunity to take the field will come Sunday, Oct. 19 on the road against Denver in Week 7. With Slayton unavailable Thursday, Lil'Jordan Humphrey is expected to be elevated from the practice squad.

Slayton (hamstring) is not expected to be available for Thursday's home game against the Eagles, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Slayton suffered a hamstring injury during New York's loss to the Saints on Sunday, and he was listed as a non-participant at practice both Monday and Tuesday. He's expected to be officially declared out with the release of Wednesday's practice report, which Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports would pave the way for Lil'Jordan Humphrey to be elevated from the practice squad for Thursday's matchup and play a role on offense behind Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski.

Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that Slayton (hamstring) won't take part in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
After tweaking his hamstring in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Saints, Slayton could be hard-pressed to make a full recovery from the injury ahead of the Giants' Week 6 matchup with the Eagles on Thursday night. Daboll suggested that Slayton is trending toward being a game-time decision for Thursday, though the Giants will wait until Wednesday before formally giving the wideout a designation heading into the contest. If Slayton can't rally to play on a short week, the Giants would be left with Wan'Dale Robinson, Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski as their available options at receiver. New York has three receivers on its practice squad (Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Ihmir Smith-Marsette and Dalen Cambre) as potential candidates for elevation in Week 6.

Slayton (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Slayton pulled up lame in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Saints, and now the Giants have a short week ahead of Thursday night's game against the Eagles. If Slayton is unable to play Week 6, Jalin Hyatt and Beaux Collins figure to see every-down snaps alongside slot man Wan'Dale Robinson, though the Giants could use more two-tight end sets featuring Daniel Bellinger.

Slayton sustained a hamstring injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Slayton was seen limping on the sideline in the fourth quarter before the Giants considered him questionable to return. If he's unable to do so, Slayton will finish Week 5 action with three catches (on six targets) for 31 yards and a lost fumble.

Slayton caught three of four targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
While the volume and production were modest, Slayton wound up leading the Giants in receptions and receiving yards in Jaxson Dart's first career start at QB, as Malik Nabers (knee) was knocked out of the game in the second quarter. Nabers' injury is feared to be a torn ACL which would end his season, a development that would make Slayton the team's top downfield option, albeit in arguably the weakest wide receiver group in the league. The veteran WR will take a 9-135-0 line on 13 targets into a Week 5 contest against the Saints.

Slayton (calf) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chargers
EDGE Analysis
Among starting NFL wide receivers, Slayton ranks near the top in snap/route share (both above 90 percent) but close to the bottom for target rate (seven percent of routes). Things can't get much worse from a fantasy standpoint, even if new starting quarterback Jaxson Dart inevitably also throws to Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson far more often than Slayton.

Slayton (calf) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Slayton maintained his activity level from Wednesday as he tends to a calf issue, and he'll now have just one more opportunity to practice in full this week before the Giants potentially hand him a designation prior to Sunday's contest versus the Chargers. If he's able to avoid being inactive this weekend, he'll be working with rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart, who is taking over for veteran Russell Wilson.

Slayton (calf) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's a new injury after Slayton played just 64 percent of the Giants' offensive snaps in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-9 loss to the Chiefs (he was on the field for 94.3 percent of New York's snaps this season beforehand). Coincidence or not, Slayton's ability to practice in any capacity at the start of the week suggests he's on track to play this Sunday against the Chargers in what will be the first career start for Giants QB Jaxson Dart.
