The latest Giants injury is devastating for New York's already struggling offense heading into Thursday Night Football

Giants expected not to have Darius Slayton New York's passing offense produced a brutal performance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 5. It accentuated the lack of depth the Giants have at wide receiver, as their top three targets were tight ends and running backs. Daniel Bellinger led the team with 52 yards, Cam Skattebo had 45 yards, and Theo Johnson totalled 33 yards and two touchdowns. As soon as Nabers was lost for the season, it was apparent the Giants did not have enough talent at receiver to stress defenses. Naturally, losing a 1,200-yard receiver who was budding into one of the best young targets in the league is going to sap your explosiveness. However, the Saints' performance highlighted the limited options available.Slayton finished Sunday's game with 31 yards on three receptions. He also had a fumble that contributed to a brutal five-turnover day for the Giants. So far this season, he's contributed 12 receptions for 166 yards and no touchdowns.Slayton certainly was not on a track to emerge as an unexpectedly dominant target for Jaxson Dart. If anything, his early-season struggles put into perspective the confusing financial commitment they had to him this offseason. But his loss now puts the Giants' receiver room in dire straits a day out from their Thursday Night Football game with Philly. Wan'Dale Robinson proved against the Cowboys that he can be a 100-yard-plus receiver in this offense. However, after that, the rest of the group has little career production. The only active wide receivers available currently on the roster behind Robinson are Jalin Hyatt, Beaux Collins, and Gunner Olszewski. On their practice squad, they have Dalen Cambre, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, and Ihmir Smith-Marsette. With insufficient time to orchestrate a move, they'll need to elevate players from the practice squad. Yesterday, head coach Brian Daboll alluded to the likelihood of the team making an internal move to address Slayton. "Well, let's see where [Slayton] is at," Daboll told reporters, "If Slay can't go, then we’ll probably do something here. But I just want to see where he's at here in the next couple of days."After the Giants lost Nabers, it became clear that the team needed to be aggressive in finding solutions outside of the building. The current group hasn't been dangerous without Nabers diverting attention. They needed to either make a trade or sign a veteran with long-term experience. Not having Slayton is the worst-case scenario for their mismanagement of handling the WR room. It's just another example of the front office's ineptitude in planning and thinking creatively.
