New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll spoke to the media on Monday following the 28-6 home loss in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. A lot of things did not go well for the Giants, including the performance of quarterback Daniel Jones. A lot of fans left after Jones threw a pick-six in the third quarter.

He struggled to find open wide receivers like Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and others against the Vikings. It will be interesting to see if Jones gets benched at some point for Drew Lock. This is one of the biggest stories across New York and also the NFL on Monday.

On Monday, head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Darius Slayton is currently in concussion protocol. Against the Vikings, he caught three passes for 26 yards receiving. Slayton was the third wide receiver on the team behind Wan’Dale Robinson and Malik Nabers entering Sunday’s matchup.
Robinson caught six passes for 44 yards receiving. Nabers also caught five passes for 66 yards receiving in the game against the Vikings. With the former Auburn Tigers wide receiver in concussion protocol, it will be interesting to see if he will be ready for this Sunday’s game against the Washington Commanders on the road. It will be a huge game for both teams since they’re both 0-1.
Jalin Hyatt To Start For Darius Slayton If Not Ready For Sunday

Jalin Hyatt saw a little action on Sunday for the Giants against the Vikings. Hyatt was only targeted one time in the game for New York. He is the fourth wide receiver on the roster. With Slayton sidelined for now, Jalin Hyatt is going to be practicing with the first unit this week for the Giants.
Jalin Hyatt is in his second season with the Giants. He was a rookie last season and did not reach the end zone once. The wide receiver core is not the problem with the Giants. Until the Giants change quarterbacks, they won’t be scoring many points. It feels like adding insult to injury with Darius Slayton being in concussion protocol also.
