Giants' Darius Slayton: Set to return Sunday
Darius Slayton (concussion) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Buccaneers, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.With confirmation that he's cleared the concussion protocol, Slayton is set for his first game action since Week 9. Elsewhere in New York's receiving corps, Malik Nabers showed up on Friday's injury report as a non-participant due to a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Week 12 action. Nabers himself told Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com that he intends to suit up Sunday, but if Nabers is inhibited or even inactive, Slayton would stand to benefit in a passing game that will be led by Tommy DeVito now that Daniel Jones has been waived by the team.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Another full practice
Darius Slayton (concussion) remained a full practice participant Thursday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Slayton is in the later stages of the concussion protocol following the head injury that he sustained during a Week 9 loss to the Commanders. It's unclear yet whether he's met with an independent neurologist in order to gain clearance to return to action, but he nonetheless appears as if he'll be good to go Sunday against the Buccaneers. If that comes to pass, Slayton will be on the receiving end of passes from QB Tommy DeVito after the Giants demoted Daniel Jones coming out of their Week 11 bye.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Full practice Wednesday
Darius Slayton (concussion) practiced in full Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the New York Giants' official site reports.Slayton made a late departure from a Week 9 loss to the Commanders and subsequently was placed in the concussion protocol. He wasn't able to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in time to travel with the Giants to Germany for a Week 10 matchup with the Panthers, but following the team's bye, he wasn't inhibited in the first session of Week 12 prep. It's unclear if Slayton is out of the concussion protocol, but Wednesday's uncapped practice bodes well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Buccaneers.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Won't travel to Germany

As a result, he'll stay stateside for the Giants' Week 10 game in Germany, though he should have a better chance to return after the team's bye for a Week 12 matchup against the Buccaneers. Jalin Hyatt will have the opportunity to step up in Slayton's absence.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Hits for another long gain Monday
Darius Slayton brought in four of seven targets for 108 yards in the New York Giants' 26-18 loss to the Steelers on Monday night.Slayton led the Giants in receiving yards with his second-highest total of the campaign. The veteran wideout also commanded a lot more of Daniel Jones' attention after logging only one target Week 7, and Slayton now has a combined 30 looks in the past four contests. The speedster could still thrive if embattled head coach Brian Daboll opts to make a change at quarterback from Jones to Drew Lock heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Commanders, considering Lock has shown a willingness to throw deep throughout his career.

Giants' Darius Slayton: Quiet in Nabers' return
Darius Slayton caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Philadelphia.With star rookie Malik Nabers out the previous two weeks due to a concussion, Slayton had stepped up as one of QB Daniel Jones' primary targets, totaling 14 catches for 179 yards and a touchdown. However, Nabers returned Sunday, and Slayton predictably faded back into a lesser role. New York's offense struggled as a whole in the contest -- the team totaled a meager 105 passing yards -- and Slayton was on the field for all 58 of the team's snaps, so there's reason to believe the performance was a low point rather than a new norm. Still, it's been pretty clear this season that the veteran wideout is going to struggle to put up useful fantasy numbers whenever the frequently targeted Nabers is on the field.
