Hyatt caught three of six targets for 36 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 42-10 preseason win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt had a solid stat line but also let two downfield passes slip through his hands, perhaps showing why he's struggled to earn regular-season snaps and targets since the Giants made him a third-round pick in 2023. There have even been whispers about the roster bubble this summer, and Hyatt will likely just be fourth or fifth on the depth chart even if it turns out his job is safe.

Hyatt caught one of two targets for 21 yards in a 31-12 exhibition win over the Jets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt sat out New York's preseason opener last Saturday while dealing with an undisclosed issue, but he was able to suit up and log 11 offensive snaps against the Jets. His catch was a 21-yard connection with Russell Wilson on the Giants' first drive of the second quarter. The upcoming season could be a crucial one for Hyatt, as he'll have the opportunity to work with a more stable set of quarterbacks in Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart following two disappointing campaigns to begin his NFL career. However, Hyatt is behind each of Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Darius Slayton and Wan'Dale Robinson on the depth chart, making his path to production tricky.

Hyatt (undisclosed) is warming up Saturday and appears set to suit up for the Giants' preseason game against the Jets, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt wasn't able to suit up for New York's preseason opener against Buffalo and had recently been limited to individual drills, but the 2023 third-round pick now looks back to full health. A strong showing versus the Jets could assist Hyatt in his goal of securing the No. 4 wide receiver role behind Malik Nabers (toe/shoulder), Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (undisclosed). Hyatt has reportedly bulked up to around 190 pounds after playing last season at 172.

Hyatt (undisclosed) is practicing on a side field Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt was held out of Saturday's preseason win over Buffalo despite taking part in each of the Giants' previous six practices, per Dan Duggan and Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic, and the reason for his absence wasn't disclosed. The wideout had missed some practices earlier in training camp due to lower-body tightness, but it's unclear if his absence Saturday was related to that. Whatever the case may be, it's promising for Hyatt's status moving forward that he was able to return to practice Wednesday after sitting out Tuesday, though Duggan notes the receiver did work on the side rather than taking team reps. As such, it bears monitoring how long Hyatt will be limited to side work.

Head coach Brian Daboll said Saturday that Hyatt is working through an undisclosed injury and did not travel with the team for Saturday's preseason game against the Bills, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The nature and severity of Hyatt's injury is unknown, but it prevented the 2023 third-rounder from travelling with the team for Saturday's exhibition contest. The Giants' next preseason game takes place Saturday, Aug. 16 against the Jets, and Hyatt will need to return to practice this upcoming week in order to have a chance at playing. With Hyatt, Darius Slayton (undisclosed) and Malik Nabers (shoulder) all sidelined, there are opportunities for Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Zach Pascal and Montrell Washington to get more reps with the first-team offense alongside Wan'Dale Robinson.

Hyatt said Friday that he currently weighs 189-190 pounds, after playing last season at around 172, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bulk and strength have been major concerns dating back to the pre-draft process in 2023 when Hyatt checked in at 6-foot, 176 pounds. He apparently played his second NFL season at an even lighter weight, catching just eight passes across 346 snaps in 16 games. He hopes the extra pounds will help him with blocking and contested catches, but the 2023 third-round pick may nonetheless find himself on the roster bubble this summer.

Hyatt (lower body) is practicing Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt was held out of practice Friday due to cramping/tightness in his lower body. Though he's participating in practice Sunday, he's slated to be eased back, per Evan Barnes of Newsday. It's an important training camp for Hyatt, as he's trying to cement his place as New York's fourth wideout.

Hyatt did not participate in Friday's practice due to cramping and tightness in his lower body, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt appears to be past a leg injury that he suffered during mandatory minicamp in June. The 2023 third-rounder is working through some lingering issues early in training camp, but that shouldn't impact his availability for preseason games. Hyatt needs all the reps he can get during training camp, as he's competing for the WR4 job against Lil'Jordan Humphrey and Zach Pascal, among others.

Hyatt departed Tuesday's mandatory minicamp practice early due to an apparent left leg injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hyatt had his left leg stretched by a trainer after exiting a practice drill early, then exchanged words with head coach Brian Daboll. The 2023 third-round pick has benefited from extra first-team reps with new quarterback Russell Wilson to start minicamp, with Malik Nabers (toe) still limited, it's notable that Hyatt is now being forced to miss some practice opportunities even if his injury is minor. Across 33 regular-season games played since entering the NFL, Hyatt has totaled 31 catches for 435 yards and zero touchdowns on 59 targets. He will have two more chances to get back on the field before minicamp wraps up Thursday.

Hyatt caught eight of 19 targets for 62 yards over 16 regular-season games in 2024.

EDGE Analysis

Though he struggled to produce as a rookie in 2023, Hyatt at least showed some flashes of potential. That wasn't really the case in 2024, as more than half of his season yardage total came in a Week 10 game against Carolina in which he posted a modest 39 receiving yards, and he didn't reach double-digit yards in any of his other 15 appearances. While the Giants didn't have a prolific passing game, it's illogical to attribute Hyatt's lack of growth entirely to the team's QB situation, as rookie sensation Malik Nabers managed 109 catches for 1,204 yards in the same offense. New York will likely have a new starting signal-caller in 2025, and veteran wideout Darius Slayton may not be back, which could improve Hyatt's outlook to some extent. However, Nabers will likely command a huge target share again in his sophomore campaign while Wan'Dale Robinson is set to return as the team's No. 2 receiver, which would leave Hyatt -- who will be in the third year of his rookie contract -- battling for looks as the third or fourth option in the WR pecking order.
