Darius Slayton Misses Thursday Practice with Hamstring Injury

Darius Slayton (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, raising concerns about his availability. The veteran wide receiver, who re-signed with the Giants on a two-year, $12 million contract with $4.9 million guaranteed at signing, has a history of hamstring and finger injuries, missing four games in 2021. Slayton, a 2019 fifth-round pick, has led the Giants in receiving in four of his five seasons, including 2023. However, his role may be challenged by the 2024 draft selection of Malik Nabers, who is expected to become a primary target.
