Giants’ Wide Receiver Returns from Injury Ahead of Week 12 Matchup

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton is set to return to action after being removed from the team’s injury report prior to their Week 12 game. Slayton had been sidelined under the NFL‘s concussion protocol but has now cleared the necessary steps to resume play.

The news of Slayton’s return was reported by Patricia Traina, a sports journalist, who noted on her social media platform, «Giants WR Slayton (concussion) is no longer on the Week 12 injury report.» His availability is crucial as the Giants prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

However, the Giants are still dealing with a number of injuries. Several players remain listed as questionable, including Bryce Ford-Wheaton, who is dealing with unspecified issues, and Adoree’ McFadden, who is suffering from a heel injury. Additionally, linebacker Darrian Beavers and safety Xavier McKinney have also been marked as questionable. Notably, McFadden and safety Malik Nabers, who is dealing with a groin issue, did not participate in the team’s Friday practice session.

In terms of fantasy football impact, Slayton’s return could be particularly significant. With Malik Nabers listed as questionable, there is potential for Slayton to receive an increased number of targets in the upcoming game. This could bolster his role in the Giants’ passing attack against Tampa Bay, a team known for its challenging defense.
