Giants will be without Pinnock and Darius Slayton
New York Giants starting safety Jason Pinnock will not play Sunday morning when the Giants face the Carolina Panthers in Munich, Germany.
Pinnock, a fourth-year player, is fourth on the Giants in tackles with 43 and sacks with 3.0.
The Giants will be without starting wide receiver Darius Slayton (concussion) and backup wide receiver/special teamer Bryce Ford-Wheaton. That provides opportunities for Jalin Hyatt, who has just one catch this season, and Isaiah Hodgins, who was elevated from the practice squad.
The Panthers will be missing starting left tackle Ikem Ekwonu with an ankle injury. Carolina has moved starting center Brady Christensen to left tackle, where he will have to deal with Brian Burns. Cade Mays, who spent a few weeks on the Giants’ practice squad earlier this season, is now the Panthers’ starting center.
