Hyatt was added to the Giants practice squad after missing the rest of training camp and entire preseason due to injury sustained during West Virginia practice. He had been making plays in practice and was being given an opportunity as a punt gunner before the injury. The source suggests the Giants may feel the injury prevented the current coaching staff from getting a full evaluation, and they may have added him to the practice squad as a speedy wide receiver option while remaining invested in the draft pick. However, practice squad status offers no guarantees, and players at that level come and go frequently.

WR assigned to practice squad after being injured during training camp in West Virginia, missing the rest of camp and entire preseason. Had been making plays in practice and was being given an opportunity as a punt gunner before the injury. The source suggests the Giants may feel the injury prevented the current coaching staff from getting a full evaluation, and that they may have viewed Hyatt as a speedy WR option for the practice squad worth keeping despite the setback. Hyatt remains a draft pick the front office is invested in, and speed typically earns players extra chances, though practice squad players have no guarantees of remaining on the roster.

Former third-round pick cut by New York Giants when team reached 53-man roster limit; will return to Giants practice squad. Giants traded up in 2023 NFL Draft to select Hyatt after he won the Fred Belitnikoff Award as nation's top wide receiver at Tennessee. His time with the Giants has been a disappointment: in three seasons, he has just 36 receptions for 470 yards and no touchdowns; has barely played the past two seasons, catching just 13 balls.
