Hyatt was injured when the Giants were still in West Virginia and missed the rest of training camp and the entire preseason. He had been making some plays in practice, and the Giants were giving him an opportunity as a punt gunner. Perhaps the Giants feel like the injury, caused by an overzealous hit from a defensive player, did not give this current coaching staff a full look at Hyatt.

Hyatt lands on practice squad after injury derailed training camp and preseason evaluation.

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.
