Giants Make Jalin Hyatt a Healthy Scratch for First Time vs. Eagles

The decision highlights Lil'Jordan Humphrey's rise on the depth chart, with pre‑deadline questions building about Hyatt's future.

Overview

  • New York designated the 2023 third-rounder inactive for Week 8 at Philadelphia, marking his first career healthy scratch.
  • Practice-squad receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey was elevated and has moved ahead of Hyatt due to his perimeter blocking and fit in the current scheme.
  • Darius Slayton returned to the lineup and the team also elevated safety Raheem Layne, tightening available game-day spots at wide receiver.
  • Hyatt has three catches for 17 yards on 123 offensive snaps across five games this season despite earlier injuries at the position.
  • ESPN reported Hyatt briefly spoke with GM Joe Schoen on the bench before the game, and league chatter suggests a potential move could be considered before the Nov. 4 deadline as the 2-5 Giants assess options.
