Slayton (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
In addition, Sterling Shepard, who, like Slayton, missed the last two games due to a hamstring injury of his own, was back at practice Wednesday in limited fashion. Shepard and Slayton were joined by rookie Kadarius Toney (ankle) as limited, too, while No. 1 wide receiver Kenny Golladay is expected to sit out at least one contest due to a hyperextended knee. If Slayton does enough to gain clearance for Sunday's game versus the Rams, he could be one of the top candidates among Giants skill-position players to pick up targets.
