With Nabers out, Robinson and Slayton will once again have to produce in the passing game.
Last week in Seattle, those two were the only wide receives to record a catch, as Slayton had eight receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown while Robinson had six catches for 36 yards and a touchdown.
Only three other players caught a pass in the game: tight end Theo Johnson and running backs Tyrone Tracy and Eric Gray.
Hyatt, a 2023 third-round pick, still has not recorded a catch on the season, but he did play 48 snaps last week in Nabers’ place. Hodgins was elevated from the practice squad last week and played 25 snaps, which was fourth-most among Giants receivers.
Ford-Wheaton and Smith-Marsette are primarily special teams players who did not play an offensive snap last week.
