Receiving option Giants can’t wait to get back on the field

Given the spate of injuries at wide receiver, it would be helpful for the Giants if Darius Slayton could get on the field to continue his development. The rookie, a fifth-round pick from Auburn, has not practiced at all in training camp because of a strained hamstring.

“Soon,’’ coach Pat Shurmur said.

“Soon sounds good to me,’’ receivers coach Tyke Tolbert said.

Each day that passes pushes Slayton further behind. He was a revelation in the spring, coming back off a rough first minicamp showing to emerge as one of the most productive targets this past offseason.
