Darius Slayton Expected To Be Doubtful Against Patriots

12 months ago

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Darius Slayton (neck) will not practice on Friday and is expected to be listed as doubtful to play in Week 12 this Sunday against the New England Patriots. Offensive lineman Evan Neal (ankle) has been ruled out, while defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence (hamstring) is also expected to be doubtful. It would be Lawrence's first game missed due to injury in his five-year career. Slayton's injury comes at a bad time after he just has his best game of the season in the Week 11 win over the Washington Commanders, when he had four catches for a season-high 82 yards and his first touchdown of the year. With Slayton likely out on Sunday, Sterling Shepard, Isaiah Hodgins and rookie Jalin Hyatt could see more targets, albeit in a sluggish offense led by undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy Devito.
