The Story in 60 Seconds

The New York Giants signed wide receiver Jalin Hyatt to the active roster from their practice squad ahead of their road matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Alongside Hyatt's promotion, the Giants also activated running back Phil Mafah and outside linebacker Dawuane Smoot from the practice squad, while signing quarterback Jake Haener to the unit.

Writer Alexander Wilson argues that Hyatt should be given a defined opportunity to stretch the field without guaranteeing him a major offensive role. The move comes as wide receiver Charlie Jones is listed as questionable with a hand injury, potentially opening up offensive or special teams snaps.
