Jalin Hyatt - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Working on the side Hyatt (lower body) was spotted riding the bike on the sidelines during Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear exactly what Hyatt is dealing with, but Duggan believes he tweaked something while running routes early in practice. If the injury lingers through the offseason program, we should expect more clarity. Hyatt is fighting for a roster spot this offseason, as he was frequently a healthy scratch in 2025 and finished with just five catches for 35 yards through eight games.

Won't play Week 18 Hyatt (illness) is inactive for Sunday's clash versus the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Hyatt dealt with an illness this week and won't be able to suit up for New York's season finale. He'll end a thoroughly disappointing campaign with a paltry five catches on 14 targets for 35 yards with no touchdowns. Hyatt also collected 111 kick-return yards, though all of those came in one game (Week 9 against San Francisco). The Tennessee product is under contract with New York for one more year but may not be retained by the team next season given his poor performance over the past two campaigns.

Could play Sunday Hyatt (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.

Impact Hyatt upgraded from DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday to limited practice Friday, giving himself a chance to suit up for Sunday's season finale. The 2023 third-round pick from Tennessee has had a disappointing 2025 campaign, appearing in eight games and catching catching five of 14 targets for 35 yards. If active Sunday, Hyatt is expected to play a depth role in the Giants' receiving corps.

Misses Wednesday's practice Hyatt was absent from Wednesday's practice due to an illness, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The third-year pro from Tennessee appears to be dealing with an illness and likely needs to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to play in the Week 18 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday. Hyatt has appeared in just eight games this season, catching five of 14 targets for 35 yards while also tallying 111 kick-return yards. If active Sunday, Hyatt will likely play a depth role in the Giants' wide-receiver room.

Shrinks back to inactive status Hyatt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 16 contest versus Minnesota, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Hyatt was also a healthy scratch Week 13 against New England. The third-year wideout did get to participate last Sunday versus Washington, but he saw only four offensive snaps and didn't catch his lone target. Gunner Olszewski missed that game due to a concussion but is back for Week 16, which likely is the reason for Hyatt reverting to inactive.

Barely plays in Week 15 Hyatt failed to haul in his lone target while playing four of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Commanders.

Impact A healthy inactive for the Giants' previous two contests, Hyatt suited up Sunday while New York was without Gunner Olszewski (concussion). Olszewski's absence didn't free up many opportunities on offense for Hyatt, whose six percent snap share placed him fourth among Giants receivers.

DECEMBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch in Week 13 Hyatt (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Monday at New England, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact For a second time this season -- and first time since Week 8 -- Hyatt is a healthy scratch, and this will mark his seventh time overall that he won't log an offensive snap through 13 games. The Giants' available wide receivers for Monday's matchup are Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Isaiah Hodgins, Gunner Olszewski and Dalen Cambre. Hyatt's next chance to suit up follows the team's Week 14 bye on Sunday, Dec. 14 against the Commanders.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't see field in Week 12 Hyatt was active but did not play in Sunday's loss to Detroit.

Impact In Mike Kafka's first game as New York's interim head coach last Sunday versus Green Bay, Hyatt logged a season-high 62 percent offensive snap share and caught two of four targets for 18 yards. However, that increased usage didn't carry over into Week 12, as Hyatt didn't log a single snap in any capacity. Meanwhile, recent 53-man roster signee Isaiah Hodgins posted a 66 percent offensive snap share, while top WRs Wan'Dale Robinson (83 percent) and Darius Slayton (63 percent) played their usual roles. Perhaps most tellingly for Hyatt's status in the pecking order, special-teams specialist Gunner Olszewski was given eight snaps on offense and rookie undrafted free agent Dalen Cambre got one, suggesting that New York may have decided to phase Hyatt out of the offense altogether moving forward.

Sees bigger role in offense Hyatt caught two of four targets for 18 yards against the Packers in a Week 11 loss Sunday.

Impact Hyatt came into Sunday missing two of the Giants' previous three games, including once as a healthy scratch. In the one contest he did play during that span, he worked exclusively on special teams. However, with Mike Kafka filling in as New York's interim head coach following the dismissal of Brian Daboll, Hyatt logged a season-high 62 percent offensive snap share, third-highest among the team's wideouts. That resulted in a season-best 18 receiving yards on a pair of catches, though it has to be mentioned that Jameis Winston's game-sealing interception came on a play during which Hyatt inexplicably stopped his route toward the corner of the end zone. It remains to be seen if that mistake costs Hyatt playing time, and Hyatt's role will likely shrink anyway once Darius Slayton (hamstring) is able to return to action, but for one game at least it appeared the Giants were willing to give the 2023 third-round draft pick a chance to make an impression amidst what has been a hugely disappointing season.

Returns to practice Thursday Hyatt (teeth) logged a full practice session Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact A dental issue caused Hyatt to miss practice Wednesday, but a full session one day later suggests the third-year wideout is doing better. Hyatt was inactive this past Sunday against Philadelphia, though it's not clear if he was a healthy scratch or if his dental issue played a part in that decision. As such, Hyatt's level of playing time -- if he's active at all -- this Sunday against San Francisco could provide more insight about his role on offense moving forward.

Sits out practice Wednesday Giants coach Brian Daboll said Hyatt (wisdom teeth) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hyatt was made inactive as a healthy scratch for New York's loss to the Eagles in Week 8, but he now appears to be missing time due to a dental issue. That Hyatt was left out of the wide receiver rotation Week 8 despite the Giants' depth issues at the position could be an indication that his chances to make an impact with the team that selected him in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft are running out. Even if healthy, Hyatt may again be a healthy scratch for Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

Giants' struggles against the run get exposed in their loss to the Eagles

The New York Giants' inability to stop the run was a major cause of their 38-20 loss at Philadelphia that dropped them to 2-6

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • Associated Press

Healthy scratch for Week 8 Hyatt (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Hyatt didn't log a single snap through the first two weeks of the season, and then, despite getting into the wideout rotation, he didn't record a single target in Weeks 3 and 4. From Weeks 5-7, Hyatt received nine targets, but he hauled in only three, which all came during the Giants' Week 6 upset win over the Eagles on Thursday Night Football. With Hyatt unavailable, Beaux Collins and Gunner Olszewski are candidates for snaps behind Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

OCTOBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs another zero-catch performance Hyatt did not catch his only target in Sunday's Week 7 loss to Denver.

Impact Darius Slayton missed Sunday's game due to a hamstring injury, but Hyatt couldn't take advantage of the bump in opportunity. In fact, the only Giants wide receiver to catch a pass was Wan'Dale Robinson, who gathered six receptions on 12 targets for 95 yards. In terms of snap count, Hyatt (25 offensive snaps) lagged far behind Robinson (70) and Lil'Jordan Humphrey (74), so it appears Hyatt may drop to No. 4 in the pecking order when Slayton returns to action. On the campaign, Hyatt has managed a meager three catches on nine targets for 17 yards through five games, with all three of his receptions coming in one contest (Week 6 versus Philadelphia).

Cleared while Slayton's doubtful Hyatt (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Solomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Hyatt was limited in practice by an ankle injury, but he'll be available Sunday, while fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) is listed as doubtful. Despite added opportunities being opened up by injuries to the Giants' wide receiver room, Hyatt's unlikely to find significant success against a tough Broncos secondary considering he has just three catches for 17 yards all season. All of that production came in the Week 6 win over the Eagles.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice again Hyatt (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Hyatt has now logged back-to-back practices due to an ankle issue, meaning he'll likely have to upgrade to full reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 7. With Darius Slayton (hamstring) still not practicing and Malik Nabers (ACL) out for the year, Hyatt will figure to benefit from increased opportunities on offense as long as he's able to gain clearance for Sunday's road contest against the Broncos. The 2023 third-round pick logged his first catches of the year during New York's win over the Eagles in Week 6, in which he secured three of five targets for 17 yards.
