Who Should I Start? Jalin Hyatt or Gage Larvadain

Sunday, January 4, 12:08 PM

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (illness) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Dallas Cowboys. Hyatt was listed as questionable. He missed two consecutive practices before upgrading to a limited participant on Friday. The 24-year-old had been a healthy scratch in each of the last two weeks, and he played just four snaps over the last five games. As a result, it's unclear if Hyatt's absence is related to his illness or if he's merely a healthy scratch. Regardless, his absence is notable in a game where the Giants will also be without Wan'Dale Robinson (rib), Ryan Miller (coach's decision), and Theo Johnson (illness). Darius Slayton will operate as the Giants' No. 1 receiver while Gunner Olszewski, Isaiah Hodgins, and Xavier Gipson also get more involved.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Gage Larvadain carried the ball once for a four-yard touchdown and caught two of his three targets for 23 yards in a 30-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in preseason action on Friday. Larvadain punched in a short touchdown in the third quarter to give the Browns a 21-7 lead. The undrafted rookie out of South Carolina also handled two punt returns, but he ultimately was forced from the game early with what is being called a lower-body injury. Larvadain will hope to be ready to return to the field in time for the Browns' next preseason game, which is set for next Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
