Toney (ankle) is trending in the wrong direction to play Sunday against the Panthers, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Toney only lasted six offensive snaps this past Sunday versus the Rams before aggravating the ankle issue that bugged him during Week 6 prep. He's now expected to miss time, but not enough to require an IR stint. If that's the case, Toney might only sit out Week 7 before getting the benefit of a Week 8 bye, meaning he could complete his recovery by the time the Giants travel to face the Chiefs on Monday, Nov. 1.
