Belton is slated to start at safety in Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. Belton and Tyler Nubin will operate as New York's primary safeties due to Jason Pinnock (abdomen) being inactive for the first time this season. Through the first nine contests, Belton has tallied 14 tackles and one pass breakup while seeing the majority of his snaps on special teams.

Belton (back) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 1 contest against the Vikings, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports. The third-year safety out of Iowa was limited earlier in the week with a back injury, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. Belton is expected to line up as New York's top strong safety in 2024 after posting 33 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, and two interceptions across 17 regular-season games last season.

Belton (back) is limited in practice Wednesday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Belton had been competing with rookie Tyler Nubin for the team's starting strong safety job and was believed to have won the competition. However, his current injury could see him have to hand that role to Nubin for Week 1 against the Vikings if he is unable to suit up for the contest.

Belton is competing with rookie Tyler Nubin for the Giants' starting strong safety position, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports. Belton didn't see much of the field during his first two seasons in the NFL, playing behind All-Pro caliber safety Xavier McKinney. Now that McKinney is out of New York, Belton has the opportunity to win a starting role in the Giants' secondary. According to Dunleavy, the third-year safety has been playing with the Giants' first-team defense since OTAs and has impressed with his ball-hawking abilities. Nubin, Belton's main competition for a starting spot, is now dealing with a hamstring issue as well. If Nubin continues to miss time with this injury, Belton could run away with the Giants' top strong safety spot.

Belton (shoulder) is active Sunday against the Commanders. Belton is expected to draw the start at free safety for the Giants on Sunday. The rookie's role has varied throughout the season, but his opportunities should increase as long as he remains healthy, with Xavier McKinney (hand) sidelined.
