Slayton (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, expects to play, Jordan Ranaan of ESPN.com reports.
Though he's missed the Giants' last three games and will take a designation into the weekend, Slayton told Ranaan that he felt good after practicing on a limited basis Friday for the third consecutive day. Citing a source, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com also relays that the Giants are planning on having Slayton back for the Week 7 contest, and he could immediately find himself filling a high-volume role in the New York passing attack if he suits up. New York will be without three key pass catchers in Kenny Golladay (knee), Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Kadarius Toney (ankle), while three more in Sterling Shepard (hamstring), John Ross (hamstring) and Evan Engram (calf) are listed as questionable.
