The Tuesday, Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline is just days away. Whether the discussion is about the New York Giants potentially being buyers, sellers, or both, Jalin Hyatt always seems to be part of the conversation.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the case when the conversation turns to adding a wide receiver with Malik Nabers out for the season. That part of the conversation usually involves a reference to the idea that Hyatt, a third-year receiver, has not been good enough to pick up the slack.<\/p>\n
When discussing players the Giants might trade for draft assets, Hyatt\u2019s name is always on the list. The Giants don\u2019t appear to have a use for him. Maybe somebody else will.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the NFL,\u201d Hyatt said on Thursday. \u201cWhatever happens happens. Right now I\u2019m just focused on what I can do here. Focused on how I can continue to keep getting better and helping this team.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hyatt would still like to make things work with the Giants.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a lot of faith and belief in this team,\u201d Hyatt said. \u201cRight now my main focus is being the best player I can be here.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Giants moved up in Round 3 of the 2023 NFL Draft to select Hyatt. He caught 23 passes as a rookie, but had only eight receptions in 2024 and only three in five games this season.<\/p>\n
Hyatt was inactive Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles for the first time in his 2\u00bd-year NFL career. The Giants have elevated Lil\u2019Jordan Humphrey from the practice squad in each of the past three games. They would have to add Humphrey to the 53-man roster to play him this week against the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n
The Giants also added veteran wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud to the practice squad a week ago. There is a possibility he could be elevated for Sunday, as well.<\/p>\n
Could all of that make Hyatt expendable? We may find out over the next few days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Tuesday, Nov. 4 NFL trade deadline is just days away.
