Slayton (thumb) is listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants held a walkthrough Monday, so Slayton's activity level is only an estimation, but it's nonetheless encouraging to see the No. 3 wideout listed as limited Monday. X-rays on Slayton's thumb came up negative Monday after he was briefly forced out of Sunday's 21-15 win over the Browns. That bodes well for his chances of being cleared to suit up for Thursday's divisional matchup against the Cowboys.

Westbrook-Ikhine was not targeted in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Westbrook-Ikhine took the field for 25 percent of offensive snaps in Sunday's loss, his highest mark of the season. Despite that, he has still yet to record a target this season.

Burks recorded one catch (on three targets) for nine yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Burks' role in the offense remained stable at a 50 percent snap rate, but he has been targeted only six times through three games. Even with DeAndre Hopkins still limited by a knee injury, Burks has struggled to earn a consistent role in the Tennessee offense.

Hyatt got just one target, which he didn't catch, in a 21-15 victory against the Browns on Sunday.

After Friday's practice, Hyatt refuted a recent report that he requested a trade late this summer, per Tom Canavan of the Associated Press. It's unclear if the rumblings had any impact on his playing time Sunday. Though he logged a season-low 10 offensive snaps, that number wasn't much different than the 15 and 11 he played in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively. Hyatt has drawn just two targets so far this season, neither of which has resulted in a catch. For the time being, he seems to be buried on the wideout depth chart behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton (thumb). However, if Slayton's injury causes him to miss any games, Hyatt could see an uptick in opportunity.

Boyd recorded three catches (on four targets) for 33 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Packers.

Boyd has had a steady role in the Tennessee offense through three games, tallying at least four targets while playing 70-plus percent of snaps in each contest. That's still led to relatively little production, as Sunday's performance was his highest yardage total of the campaign.

Dell is dealing with soreness Monday after taking a hit to the ribs during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Dell also got his wrist/hand banged up late in Sunday's game, but it looks like the second-year pro has escaped a rough Week 3 with only discomfort. In catching five of six targets for 62 yards Sunday, Dell actually put together his best receiving line of the 2024 regular season, though both Nico Collins (4-86-0 on 10 targets) and Stefon Diggs (10-94-0 on 12 targets) worked ahead of him. Dell will look to get fully healthy and take another step forward as the Texans prepare for a Week 4 divisional matchup against the Jaguars.

Cooks caught two of six targets for 16 yards in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

The six targets were a marked improvement on the two he got last week, but Cooks failed to do much with the additional volume and was out-produced by Jalen Tolbert for the second straight game. Tolbert could be emerging as the Cowboys' new No. 2 wideout behind CeeDee Lamb, but Cooks will get a chance to reassert himself Week 4 against the Giants.

Tolbert caught three of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

The third-year wideout was on the other end of Dak Prescott's first TD pass of the game, a 15-yard strike midway through the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried to rally from a 28-6 deficit. Tolbert has out-produced Brandin Cooks in back-to-back games, and through three weeks the younger player has a 10-136-1 line on 16 targets compared to Cooks' 8-75-1 line on 15 targets. Tolbert could continue to push for the team's No. 2 receiver role Week 4 against the Giants.

McCloud caught two of three targets for 17 yards and rushed once for 20 yards during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs. He also returned one kickoff for 28 yards.

McCloud played 95 percent of the Falcons' offensive snaps but finished with season lows in targets, receptions and receiving yards. However, he somewhat salvaged the night with a 20-yard run. Offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has gotten McCloud involved in the running game in back-to-back games, and the wideout appears to have solidified himself as the clear No. 3 option behind Drake London and Darnell Mooney. However, Kirk Cousins has averaged only 19 completions and 209 passing yards per game thus far, so there isn't much to go around until Atlanta's offense starts clicking on all cylinders.

Turpin caught all three of his targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Ravens.

He also added one yard on his lone carry. Turpin's first offensive TD of the season came late in the fourth quarter on a 16-yard pass from Dak Prescott as the Cowboys furiously tried to rally from a 21-6 halftime deficit. With Brandin Cooks struggling, Turpin's role on offense could continue to increase, but his main value to Dallas comes in the return game, as he has 165 total return yards through three games, including a Week 1 punt-return touchdown.
