  • Waived by Cleveland

    The Browns waived Toney on Tuesday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Toney was signed to the active roster ahead of the Browns' Week 14 loss to the Steelers. During the fourth quarter of the 27-14 loss, Toney picked up a taunting penalty on one punt return and muffed another, events that likely were a factor in the Browns' decision to part ways with the 25-year-old wide receiver. In three games for Cleveland, Toney had one target, two rushes for minus-4 yards and 44 yards in punt returns.

  • Signed to Browns' active roster

    Cleveland signed Toney from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: Toney had been elevated from the Browns' practice squad to the active roster twice this season, with his latest outing taking place in Week 13 against the Broncos, when he turned his lone carry into three yards. Toney gives the Browns much needed depth at wide receiver for Sunday's game against the Steelers, as Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out and Jamari Thrash (shoulder) is listed as questionable.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Toney reverted to the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Toney was elevated from the practice squad for Monday's game against the Broncos and finished with one carry for three yards and didn't haul in his lone target across six snaps on offense. The 2021 first-round pick is eligible to be elevated to the Browns' active roster one more time for the rest of the 2024 regular season.

  • One target, one touch in loss

    Toney had one carry for three yards and failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 41-32 loss to Denver in Week 13.

    Analysis: Toney, who was one of six active wideouts, was elevated from the practice squad for the second time this season. He has a combined one target, two carries and 12 snaps in those two contests. There was an opportunity present Monday when Cedric Tillman (concussion) was inactive, but fellow practice teamer Michael Woods (66 snaps, five targets) emerged as the No. 3 wideout instead.

  • Joins active roster

    Toney was elevated to the Browns' active roster Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick from Florida's elevation to the active roster ensures depth at wide receiver, with Cedric Tillman (concussion) in line to miss his second consecutive game in Monday night's matchup against the Broncos. Toney has appeared in one game for the Browns this season, playing five offensive snaps and taking one carry for minus-7 yards. He's expected to serve as a depth piece in the Browns' wide receiver corps in Week 13.

  • Back with practice squad

    Toney reverted to the Browns' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Toney joined the Browns' active roster for the first time this year ahead of Sunday's loss to the Saints, taking one carry for minus-7 yards across just six offensive snaps. The 2021 first-round pick from Florida took the spot of Jaelon Darden, who was a healthy scratch in Week 11.

  • One touch in loss

    Toney had one carry for minus-seven yards in Sunday's 35-14 loss to New Orleans in Week 11.

    Analysis: Toney was elevated from the practice squad for the game and was never expected to see much use. The fifth-year wideout went untargeted on a day when Cleveland threw the ball a season-high 47 times. Toney took the roster spot that had been going to Jaelon Darden, who was a healthy inactive.

  • Elevated for Week 11

    The Browns elevated Toney from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: After failing to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp, Toney signed with the Browns on the practice squad Sept. 9. The 2021 first-round pick will make his 2024 regular-season debut against the Saints on Sunday, though it's unclear how involved he'll be on offense. Across 13 regular-season games with Kansas City in 2023, Toney registered 27 catches (on 38 targets) for 169 yards and one touchdown.

  • Looks healthy again

    Toney (undisclosed), who is a member of the Browns' practice squad, is back at practice Thursday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Toney has practiced both Wednesday and Thursday, and he looks healthy after having missed over a month due to an undisclosed injury. With Amari Cooper now a member of the Bills, Toney may be a candidate to elevate from the practice squad and bolster Cleveland's wide-receiver corps as early as Sunday versus the Ravens.

    Toney (undisclosed) will not practice with the Browns this week, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Toney signed with Cleveland's practice squad Sept. 9 but has been out of action with the injury since Sept. 11 and will seemingly remain out until at least next week. It's not yet clear what plans the Browns have for the former Chiefs wideout, but he'll need to get healthy first, to earn a spot on their 53-man roster.

  • Joining Cleveland practice squad

    Toney agreed to join the Browns' practice squad Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Toney was let go by the Chiefs during roster cutdowns, but he'll now get a fresh start with the Browns. When healthy, Toney offers play-making potential, but with Amari Cooper, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore and Cedric Tillman already in the team's wideout mix, Toney doesn't have an immediate path to a large role in Cleveland's offense.

    The Browns hosted Toney for a tryout Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Toney recently visited with the Seahawks, but he ended up departing Seattle without a deal. It was reported that he had one more workout lined up, after which he would make a decision on whether to sign with one of the two suitors. With Cleveland being revealed as the second team in the mix, Toney's decision could come down to where he feels he has the best opportunity to contribute. In either case, he'd likely have to start on the practice squad, but the Browns are relatively thin at receiver…read more

  • Seattle visit ends without deal

    Toney left the Seahawks facilities without a deal after visiting the team Tuesday, and he's expected to visit at least one more team before deciding where to sign, Justin Melo of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Toney, who was waived by the Chiefs amid roster cuts after a disappointing 2023 season with the team, is likely in consideration for a practice squad spot with Seattle. The Seahawks only currently have Cody White as a receiver on the practice squad, while the team's active roster boasts a deep unit headlined by DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett (leg) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Before making a decision Toney is expected to meet with another undisclosed franchise.

  • Waived by Kansas City

    Kansas City is slated to waive Toney on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Toney's arrow appeared to be pointing up back in 2022, when he was traded by the Giants mid-season and made some key plays in Kansas City's Super Bowl LVII win, but across 13 regular-season appearances in 2023 he was mistake-prone and inconsistent, totaling a 27-169-1 receiving line. Kansas City's recent addition of JuJu Smith-Schuster, who also played for the team in 2022, seems to have made Toney fully redundant as the team cuts down to 53 players. The 2021 first-round pick got some work out…read more

  • Solid in exhibition finale

    Toney secured two of three targets for 26 yards and returned one punt for 16 yards in the Chiefs' 34-21 preseason loss to the Bears on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Toney has had a quiet preseason partly due to a back injury, but he turned in a solid performance relative to opportunity Thursday. The 2021 first-round pick of the Giants is looking for a reset of sorts as he heads into his second full season in Kansas City, after suffering through an inconsistent and mistake-laden 2023 campaign that also saw him besieged by multiple injuries. Whether he's done enough to hold on to a roster spot remains to seen given the Chiefs' refurbishing of the receiving…read more

    Toney (back) returned to practice Monday, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Toney didn't play in the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, but his return to the field Monday could pave the way for him to see action this weekend against the Lions. Now that he's back in the mix, Toney will look to secure a depth role in a WR corps that could potentially be without projected starter Marquise Brown (shoulder) come Week 1.

  • Not playing vs. Jacksonvile

    Toney (back) was not seen in pregame warmups for the Chiefs' preseason opener against the Jaguars on Saturday, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Toney has battled separate ankle and back injuries during training camp, and the 2021 first-round pick will be held out of Saturday's preseason tilt. He may get some reps in Kansas City's second preseason game against Detroit on Aug. 17, if healthy. Toney is competing for a depth spot at wide receiver, and he's also been utilized out of the backfield and on special teams as a returner during training camp.

    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that Toney missed practice Wednesday due to back tightness, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: The oft-injured wide receiver previously missed a few training-camp practices with an ankle injury but mostly has been available this summer. Toney is competing for a depth role and is also likely to get a look as a return man.

    Toney (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Toney left practice last Wednesday with an ankle injury, but the 2021 first-rounder's return to the field Monday bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's preseason opener against the Jaguars. He's coming off a 2023 regular season in which he caught 27 of his 38 targets for 169 yards and a TD to go along with 11 carries for 31 yards in 13 contests.

  • Suffers ankle injury

    Toney left Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick has a lengthy history of lower-body injuries, which is part of why he's probably competing for return work more so than a regular role on offense at this stage of his career. The Chiefs might still have something in mind for Toney off the bench, but he's unlikely to get enough snaps for mainstream fantasy value even if the injury turns out be minor and he returns to practice fairly soon.

    Toney has been seeing reps at running back early in training camp, Blair Kerkhoff of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Analysis: Handling carries isn't completely foreign to Toney, as he's rushed 21 times for 119 yards and one touchdown across four NFL seasons. He also rushed 66 times for 580 yards and two scores in four seasons at Florida before entering the league. With the additions of first-rounder Xavier Worthy and free-agent pickup Hollywood Brown in the offseason to go along with Rashee Rice, Mecole Hardman, Justin Watson and Skyy Moore, wideout snaps may be difficult to come by for Toney.

    Toney could land on the trade block before the start of the 2024 regular season unless he's able to log an impressive training camp, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Toney missed training camp and the preseason last year due to injuries, then struggled with consistency and health before ending up as a healthy scratch for Kansas City's final stretch of games, including the team's Super Bowl win over the 49ers. Now, with the additions of Marquise Brown and rookie first-rounder Xavier Worthy, Toney could be staring down a make-or-break training camp.

    Kansas City is optimistic Toney will contribute in 2024, ESPN's Adam Teicher reports.

    Analysis: GM Brett Veach recently referred to Toney as "probably our most talented wideout," and coach Andy Reid said the 25-year-old is "arguably one of the most talented guys on the team." The implication, supported by Veach's comments, is that Toney's lack of playing time last season was a product of his medical issues, starting with a meniscus injury during training camp. Of course, injuries have been a constant for the 2021 first-round pick, who has missed at least four games in each of his three…read more

    Toney (coach's decision) is inactive for Super Bowl LVIII against the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Toney's second season with the Chiefs hasn't gone swimmingly, to say the least. In his second-to-last appearance back in Week 14 against the Bills, he lined up offsides on what would have been a go-ahead touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce.

  • Likely to sit out Super Bowl

    Toney is expected to be a healthy inactive Sunday for the Chiefs' matchup with the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, a league source told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

    Analysis: Toney hasn't played since Week 15, but after turning in a slate of full practices over the two weeks of Super Bowl prep, he appears to have moved past the strained hip and ankle injury that kept him out for the past five games. However, Toney's lengthy absence and underwhelming play when healthy during the regular season appear to be factors in the Chiefs' apparent decision to hold him out for the Super Bowl.

Toney hasn't played at all in the playoffs, with his absence from the first two games attributed to hip and ankle injuries and his absence from the AFC Championship Game attributed to both his hip and a personal issue (reportedly the birth of his first child).

    Analysis: Toney practiced in a limited fashion both Thursday and Friday, but he'll still end up missing a sixth consecutive game. In addition to managing the hip issue, Toney will also be away from the Chiefs while he awaits the birth of his first child.

Toney last saw game action back in Week 15, and if he's available versus Baltimore, he'll look to reclaim a role in a Kansas City WR corps that also includes Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Mecole Hardman.

    Analysis: In his attempt to put an end to a five-game absence, Toney opened this week with a full session Wednesday, only to follow it up with a capped practice one day later. The development may have been related to maintenance of his lingering hip issue, but he now could be in danger of entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Baltimore.

    Analysis: Toney missed the final three games of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs, but he seems to have a decent shot at returning after practicing on a limited basis throughout the week. If so, he'll likely have a part-time role in a Kansas City offense that tends to rotate wide receivers behind No. 1 option Rashee Rice.

    Analysis: After having logged back-to-back capped sessions, Toney -- who last saw game action in Week 15 -- appears to have a chance to return for Sunday's divisional-round game against Buffalo.

With another limited session in the books Wednesday, Toney appears to have a chance to return to action in Sunday's divisional round playoff game against the Bills.

    Analysis: Toney sat out Weeks 16 and 17 due to a strained hip before an ankle injury began to be listed next to his name during Week 18 prep. He missed all three contests, but his ability to practice in a limited capacity this week gave him a chance to return to action. That won't come to pass for Toney, meaning the Chiefs will lean on Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mecole Hardman and Richie James at wide receiver in their postseason opener.

On a positive note, Toney still managed to take the field Wednesday in some capacity, which marks a step forward in his recovery and suggests that he could put an end to his two-game absence Sunday versus the Chargers.

In Toney's stead, the Chiefs will roll with Rashee Rice, Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Richie James at wide receiver Week 17.

    Analysis: Toney failed to practice in any capacity during the week, so the fact that he's been ruled out doesn't come as a significant surprise. Marquez Valdes-Scantling should have a chance to step up in Toney's absence, while Richie James could also see his snap count rise.

    Toney (hip) was not spotted at Saturday's practice, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Toney has now failed to log any activity in practice this week ahead of Monday's matchup against Las Vegas. While his status isn't official, he's trending toward an absence, which could increase the roles of Marquez Valdes-Scantling and perhaps Richie James.

    Toney (hip) isn't practicing Friday, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Toney is sitting out practice for a second consecutive day. He'll look to raise his participation level Saturday before the team publishes its Week 16 injury report for Monday's game against the Raiders. With Skyy Moore (knee) done for the remainder of the regular season, Kansas City's receiving corps behind rookie Rashee Rice includes Justin Watson, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Richie James and Justyn Ross, while it remains to be seen if Toney or Mecole Hardman (thumb) will be available Monday.

  • Not practicing Thursday

    Toney won't practice Thursday due to a strained hip, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: The wideout's absence from practice to begin Week 16 prep could put him at risk of missing Monday's game against the Raiders. That said, given Toney's modest production to date, he profiles as a fantasy option only in deeper leagues.

  • Minimal production in win

    Toney caught two of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: After committing a costly offside penalty in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs' Week 14 loss to the Bills that wiped out a potential game-winning hook-and-ladder touchdown, Toney didn't see a major drop in playing time or touches. He logged four targets for the second straight week, but he once again had another gaffe, as he bobbled a pass from Patrick Mahomes in the fourth quarter in Chiefs territory that ended up going for a New England interception. If there's a saving grace for Toney, it's…read more

  • Five touches in loss

    Toney caught three of four targets for 25 yards and carried the ball twice for 16 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Toney's modest production on five touches would have made him an afterthought in the contest if it wasn't for what was likely a game-deciding offside penalty he committed late in the fourth quarter. The penalty erased what would have been a highlight-reel play in which the wideout scored a touchdown after a lateral by Travis Kelce for the go-ahead score with just over a minute left in the game. With that said, Toney continues to underwhelm fantasy managers and remains an untrustworthy fantasy…read more

  • Minimal involvement in loss

    Toney rushed once for six yards in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Toney was held without a target for the first time this season while playing just 18 percent of the Chiefs' offensive snaps. The 2023 campaign has been mostly a disappointment for the 24-year-old wideout, as he has just 22 grabs for 139 yards and one touchdown in 11 games this season. Toney's inconsistent involvement in Kansas City's passing attack should keep him off the fantasy radar when the Chiefs host the Bills in Week 14.

    Toney (ankle/hip) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Toney missed the Chiefs' Week 12 win over the Raiders due to the pair of injuries, but he's in line to be available this Sunday against the Packers. However, after having recorded 22 catches for 139 yards and a touchdown (on 30 targets) in 10 games to go along with eight carries for nine yards, the third-year wideout is an option only in deeper fantasy formats.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Toney (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Toney joins Mecole Hardman (thumb) and Jerick McKinnon (groin) as the Chiefs' skill position players who will not play Sunday. Toney has struggled in his first year in Kansas City and has played 40-plus percent offensive snaps once this season. With Toney and Hardman out, Skyy Moore and Richie James are candidates to see a significant uptick in offensive snaps for Sunday's game.

    Toney reeled in both of his targets for 12 yards during Monday's 21-17 defeat against the Eagles.

    Analysis: After some down weeks prior to the bye in terms of playing time, Toney saw a slight uptick to above 20 percent of snaps for the first time since Week 6. He didn't produce much more, though he did handle a pair of carries for 14 yards in addition to his two grabs and served as the punt returner for the Chiefs over Mecole Hardman. Regardless, Toney's fantasy outlook isn't particularly bright the rest of the way.

  • Small showing in Frankfurt

    Toney caught his only target for 18 yards during Sunday's 21-14 win against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Toney has no more than one catch in any of his last three games, totaling just three grabs for 35 yards on three targets over that span. He's seemingly been phased out of the offense a bit more since the Chiefs reacquired Mecole Hardman prior to Week 8, and there's little to suggest any increase in playing time is forthcoming. He can safely be left on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy formats at this point.

  • Minimal output again

    Toney gathered in his only target for four yards during Sunday's 24-9 loss against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Toney finished the day with only 12 offensive snaps, ranking sixth in the pecking order at the wide receiver position. He's tallied just a single target in each of the last two games and sports a combined 25 offensive snaps between them, so there's little reason to roster the fourth-year wideout in any but deep fantasy leagues.

  • Dip in production versus Bolts

    Toney gathered in his only target for 13 yards during Sunday's 31-17 victory against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Toney had claimed a combined 12 targets over the two previous games and had seen an uptick in his playing time, but that resulted in just eight catches for 35 yards and a score. His playing time waned again Saturday, with Toney logging just 13 offensive snaps, four fewer than Justyn Ross (17) and just two more than returning wideout Mecole Hardman (11), who just joined the team last week. Toney doesn't have a clear path to regular production, leaving him off the fantasy radar in most formats.

  • Gets into end zone Thursday

    Toney brought in three of six targets for nine yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for minus-5 yards in the Chiefs' 19-8 win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Toney managed to salvage a night in which he gained all of four net yards with his three-yard scoring grab in the second quarter, his first regular-season receiving score in a Chiefs uniform. Toney has yet to eclipse 35 receiving yards in a game this season and has actually now recorded single-digit or zero yardage on three occasions, so despite his role in a prolific offense, he remains a speculative fantasy option for a Week 7 home matchup against the Chargers on Sunday, Oct. 22.

  • Makes most of limited action

    Toney caught both of the passes thrown his way for 22 yards during Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Jets.

    Analysis: Toney continues to play limited snaps on offense, logging no more than a 30 percent share of the offensive snaps through the first four games following significant issues with drops in the opener. He avoided a drop in this one, but that's far from a ringing endorsement from a fantasy standpoint. Barring a significant upswing in playing time for the fourth-year wideout, he can largely be ignored in fantasy at the moment.

  • Avoids Week 4 injury report

    Toney (toe) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Toney logged a third consecutive limited practice Friday, but he did enough to avoid an injury designation heading into SNF. Toney has just 37 scrimmage yards on 11 targets and two carries through three games, so fantasy managers will likely need to see more productivity from the oft-injured receiver before they feel comfortable plugging him into lineups.

    Toney, who logged two snaps on offense in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears, caught his only target in the contest for a loss of one yard.

    Analysis: Toney -- who missed practice this past Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited session Friday -- approached the contest listed as questionable. Though the wideout was available versus Chicago, Toney's limited playing time Sunday suggests that he's probably still dealing with the sprained toe that landed him on Kansas City's Week 3 injury report to some degree. With that in mind, it will be worth tracking his practice participation ahead of Sunday's road game against the Jets.

The Chiefs have been optimistic that he'll be healthy by Week 1, and returning to drills next week would help his case to do so.

    Analysis: After Toney didn't take part in drills last week due to ankle and hamstring injuries that he sustained in the AFC Championship Game, he got back on the field Monday. Now with an official capped session in his back pocket this week, Toney has two more chances to get back to full activity before the team potentially hands him a designation for Super Bowl LVII. With fellow wide receiver Mecole Hardman (pelvis) now on injured reserve, Toney could make a mark Sunday versus the Eagles alongside JuJu…read more

  • Back at practice

    Kansas City head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Toney (ankle/hamstring) practiced Monday and will likely do so again Tuesday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.

    Analysis: Kansas City is holding light practices for their two unofficial workouts to begin the week before moving on to a more intense session Wednesday, when the team will release its first official injury report for the second week of prep leading up to Super Bowl LVII. How Toney is listed on Wednesday's report will be more telling with regard to where he stands in his recovery from the pair of injuries to his left leg, but he already appears to be in a better spot on the health front compared to…read more

  • Questionable for Super Bowl

    Toney (ankle/hamstring) is listed as questionable after the first week of preparation ahead of Super Bowl LVII against the Eagles on Sunday, Feb. 12.

    Analysis: Toney picked up ankle and hamstring injuries in this past Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals, which contained him to just four snaps on offense. Both Toney and JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) have questionable designations after this week, while Mecole Hardman (pelvis) is doubtful and already has been deemed unlikely to play in the Super Bowl by coach Andy Reid. If this latter point comes to pass, the statuses of Toney and Smith-Schuster become of greater import to see if one or both…read more

  • Not practicing yet

    Toney (ankle) didn't have a helmet at Friday's practice and was throwing a ball around with JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) while the rest of the team warmed up, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Andy Reid suggested Thursday that both Toney and Smith-Schuster have a chance to be ready for the Super Bowl, whereas Mecole Hardman (pelvis) is going for a second medical opinion and has already been deemed unlikely to play. Toney presumably needs to return for at least one practice next week to be active for the Super Bowl against Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Toney has yet to practice since injuring his left ankle during the Chiefs' win against the Bengals in the AFC Championship Game this past Sunday, which contained him to four snaps on offense and one nine-yard catch. He's also listed with a hamstring issue on the team's initial injury report ahead of Super Bowl LVII. Reid told Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star that Toney did participate in Thursday's walkthrough, adding that the wide receiver is "close." Position mates JuJu Smith-Schuster…read more

    Toney (ankle/hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: The Chiefs didn't hold practice as they begin preparations for Super Bowl LVII, but all of Toney, JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) wouldn't have taken part in drills Wednesday. The trio was knocked out of this past Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals, with Toney lasting just four offensive snaps and recording a nine-yard catch on two targets before his exit.

    Toney (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bengals. He finished the game with a nine-yard catch on his only target and one punt return for 12 yards.

    Analysis: Toney suffered a non-contact injury in the first half. The Chiefs are thin at wide receiver with JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Mecole Hardman (pelvis) both questionable to return.

  • Hurts leg in AFCCG

    Toney (ankle) went to the locker room with athletic trainers in the first half of Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Bengals, according to Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star, and his return to the game officially is questionable.

    Analysis: Toney went down at the end of a first-quarter catch and had his lower left leg examined in the medical tent. After that evaluation, the wide receiver made his way to the locker room. Toney had one catch for nine yards on two targets prior to exiting, with the other target resulting in an end-zone incompletion that was unsuccessfully challenged by Kansas City.

  • Totals 50 yards

    Toney recorded five receptions on seven targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 27-20 win over the Jaguars. He added one rush for 14 yards.

    Analysis: Toney joined Travis Kelce as the only Chiefs' pass catcher to record more than two receptions in Saturday's win. He was limited to work around the line of scrimmage, though the team continued to show the desire to keep him involved in the offense in a variety of ways. Toney will likely rotate into the game behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in next week's AFC Championship Game.

  • Displays versatility in Week 18

    Toney hauled in both targets for 18 yards and rushed three times for 26 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-13 win against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Toney was utilized as a weapon on jet sweeps in addition to making a minor impact as a receiver. Even so, Toney still finished the contest with just a 31 percent offensive snap share (18 total), sitting fourth among wide receivers. It's unlikely his snap count will balloon in the postseason, so he will likely be a touchdown-dependent option in some playoff fantasy pools.

  • Displays glimpses of ability

    Toney gathered in all four targets for 71 yards during Sunday's 27-24 victory versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: Toney hasn't delivered as much as many had hoped when the fantasy draft season began, but he got more involved in the Chiefs' offense Sunday. That being said, Toney only logged 19 offensive snaps (32 percent) in the game, so consistent production on this level shouldn't be counted on. He finished fourth among wide receivers in offensive snaps behind Marquez Valdes-Scantling (50), JuJu Smith-Schuster (39) and Justin Watson (22).

  • Hits pay dirt in win

    Toney caught one of two targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 24-10 win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Toney's otherwise quiet day was salvaged by an eight-yard touchdown in the first quarter on a pop pass from a jet sweep motion. The speedy wideout bobbled the ball at first but was able to gain control before finding his way into the end zone. Outside of his score, Toney was not a significant part of Kansas City's game plan, playing just 16 of the Chiefs' 53 offensive snaps. The 23-year-old is certainly a fantastic athlete and should have better days ahead when he is fully installed in the…read more

  • Minimal role in return

    Toney (hamstring) brought in his only target for five yards and returned two punts for eight yards in the Chiefs' 30-24 overtime win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Toney was able to suit up for the first time since Week 11, but as his numbers indicate, he had a very minor role on an afternoon when Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jerick McKinnon absorbed the majority of Patrick Mahomes' pass attempts. Toney at least appeared to make it through the contest unscathed, so he'll have an opportunity for a bigger impact in a Week 16 home matchup against the Seahawks on Saturday afternoon.

    Toney (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.

    Analysis: Toney was limited at practice this past week, but he'll give it go Sunday, which will mark his first game appearance since injuring his hamstring during Week 11 action. With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) still not available, Toney has a chance to claim a key role in Kansas City's Week 15 passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but until the 2021 first-rounder gets a full and productive game in, he'll profile as a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

    Analysis: Toney practiced in a limited fashion all week, setting the stage for a return from his three-game absence. The 2020 first-round pick had a similar type of practice involvement last week before surprisingly being ruled out one day in advance of the Chiefs' win over the Broncos, but given this latest report, Toney seems likely to be ready to go come Sunday.

    Analysis: Toney was limited in all three of Kansas City's practices throughout the week. If Toney's given the green light in Houston, he would likely slide into the No. 3 wide receiver role behind JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, as Mecole Hardman (abdomen) isn't expected to be activated from injured reserve in Week 15.

After failing to practice in any fashion in Weeks 12 and 13, Toney was on the field as a limited participant Wednesday through Friday and was initially listed as questionable for the game against the Broncos before later being downgraded to out Saturday.

    Analysis: Toney was a limited participant in practice all week, but the 2021 first-round pick was evidently unable to shake off a balky hamstring in Saturday's workout and thus will remain out for a third consecutive game.

    Analysis: Toney, who has missed two straight games, didn't practice last week, so the wideout's limited session Wednesday offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Broncos. If Toney is able to suit up this weekend, he could step into a key role in Kansas City's passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, given that Mecole Hardman (abdomen) remains on injured reserve.

    Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Cincinnati.

    Analysis: Since picking up a hamstring injury during the first half of the Chiefs' Week 11 road win against the Chargers, Toney hasn't been unable to practice and now will miss a second consecutive game. He'll set his sights on returning to action Sunday, Dec. 11 at Denver, but in the meantime JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will serve as Kansas City's top wide receivers, with Justin Watson and Skyy Moore available for any wide receiver reps that linger.

    Toney (hamstring) is listed as out Sunday against the Rams.

    Analysis: Toney's absence is hardly surprising considering he was unable to practice in any capacity this week after aggravating his hamstring injury against the Chargers last Sunday. The 2021 first-round pick has been limited to five appearances with the Chiefs and Giants this season. His absence Sunday will likely free up more work for Justin Watson and Skyy Moore behind the Chiefs' top two wideouts, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

    Analysis: Toney has been absent for all three of Kansas City's practices this week after leaving early in last Sunday's win over the Chargers due to his latest hamstring injury. He'll almost certainly have an injury designation upon the release of Friday's injury report, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Toney ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams.

On the plus side for the Chiefs, fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) was able to practice fully for the second straight day.

    Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Toney left in the first half and was subsequently ruled out. He has an extensive history of hamstring injuries over the course of his brief NFL career, so it wouldn't be surprising if Toney's latest injury winds up sidelining him in Week 12 against the Rams and possibly beyond.

    Toney (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Toney has been plagued by injuries since the Giants selected him in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, and his hamstring has been a frequent cause of concern. The Chiefs traded for Toney in hopes that he could find the health and consistency that eluded him in New York, but Toney made it through only two games unscathed before getting banged up in his third appearance for Kansas City. He didn't catch his only target against the Chargers prior to the injury.

    With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having landed on injured reserve Thursday, Toney figures to see added opportunities in the coming weeks, Charles Goldman of the USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Hardman isn't eligible to return to action before Week 15, so Toney should see his share of snaps in the meantime, beginning with Sunday night's game against the Chargers.

    Toney brought in four of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for 33 yards in the Chiefs' 27-17 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. He also returned two punts for 11 yards.

    Analysis: Playing in his second game with the Chiefs, Toney enjoyed a significant boost in involvement that was partly the result of JuJu Smith-Schuster's early exit due to a head injury. Toney scored his first career touchdown on a tip-toeing reception down the right sideline from six yards out to open the scoring.

    Analysis: Toney only took the field for nine offensive snaps following his trade to Kansas City from the Giants before last Monday's trade deadline. Toney is also notably recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring pull he suffered in Week 2, and Sunday marked his first action since then. Toney should see his playing time grow as he becomes more familiar with the offense, but it's a promising start to see him involved early.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Toney who had missed time with injuries to both of his hamstrings prior to being traded, isn't listed on the Chiefs' Week 9 injury report. With his hamstring issue no longer an impediment at this stage, the 2021 first-round selection appears poised to make his Chiefs debut this weekend.

While Reid's comments are an encouraging update, it's still unclear if Toney will be able to learn the playbook quick enough to even be active for Week 9, let alone demand a high target share.

    The Chiefs acquired Toney (hamstring) from the Giants on Thursday in exchange for a third-round compensatory pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Getting on the field has been a challenge for Toney since he was selected in the first round of last year's draft, and after playing just 10 of 17 games for the Giants as a rookie, he's suited up just twice in 2022 while tending to injuries to both of his hamstrings.

The Giants are expected to be without Kenny Golladay in Week 7 as well, which would likely leave the Giants with Darius Slayton, David Sills, Richie James and Wan'Dale Robinson as their top four receivers against Jacksonville.

    Toney (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Kenny Golladay (knee) is also sitting out practice to begin Week 7, leaving his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in question. If neither Golladay nor Toney are able to return from multi-game absences this weekend, Darius Slayton, Marcus Johnson, Wan'Dale Robinson, David Sills and Richie James would serve as the Giants' options at receiver.

  • Missing another game

    Toney (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Toney will end up missing his fourth game in a row while he continues to recover from injuries to both of his hamstrings. Considering that Toney didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, he's far from a sure bet to make his return to the lineup Week 7 in Jacksonville.

    Toney (hamstrings) didn't practice Thursday, Darryl Slater of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: For the second day in a row, Toney was rehabbing under the supervision of the Giants' training staff while he works his way back from injuries to both of his hamstrings. The Giants won't give Toney an official designation for Sunday's contest against the Ravens until after Friday's practice, but the wideout doesn't appear to be a good bet to put an end to his three-game absence this weekend.

  • Not practicing

    Toney (hamstrings) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

    Analysis: Toney had been working his way back from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury before he strained his other hamstring while practicing last week. He ended up missing his third straight game in the Giants' win over the Packers, and his absence from practice doesn't bode well for his early chances of avoiding another absence this weekend against the Ravens. Kenny Golladay (knee) also isn't practicing Wednesday, while Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) will be a limited participant.

  • Injures other hamstring

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Friday that Toney is currently dealing with injuries to both hamstrings and will miss Sunday's game against the Packers in London, Tom Rock of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Toney made progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury that had sidelined him the last two weeks during Wednesday's practice, which he participated in to a limited extent, but he then tweaked his other hamstring. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick didn't travel with the Giants to London, and his recovery timetable may have been extended. With Kenny Golladay (knee) also ruled out, New York will rely on David Sills, Richie James (ankle) and Darius Slayton versus the Packers. The team…read more

  • Won't travel to London

    Toney (hamstring) will not travel with the team for Sunday's game in London against the Packers and has been ruled out, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Toney was downgraded from a limited practice Wednesday to no activity Thursday, so this news doesn't come as a big surprise. As a result, Toney will have to wait to potentially make his return until a Week 6 matchup against the Ravens. Kenny Golladay (knee) was also ruled out, leaving David Sills, Richie James (ankle), Darius Slayton and potentially Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) to lead the Giants' receiving corps against the Packers.

His absence from the entirety of practice one day after he was a limited participant in the Giants' first Week 5 session doesn't offer much hope that Toney will be ready to put an end to his two-game absence this weekend in London against the Packers.

    Analysis: Toney's hamstring injury has forced him to miss two straight games, but the Giants will hope to have him back on the field Sunday versus the Packers in London. The 2021 first-round pick's season-high snap share was just 37 percent Week 2, but he could be in line for added opportunities if available this weekend.

    Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick played 35 snaps between Weeks 1 and 2 and now will miss a second straight game. As poorly as things have gone for Toney this season, he should have a significant role in the offense if ever stays healthy for more than a week or two at a time, as the Giants' seemingly crowded WR room has thinned out considerably with Kenny Golladay looking washed up and Sterling Shepard suffering an ACL tear.

He hasn't practiced in the meantime, like fellow wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee), but both players were seen sprinting on a side field with team trainers Thursday.

    Analysis: Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) also sat out practice, while Sterling Shepard (knee) is out for the season with a torn ACL. The Giants may be left with Richie James as their No. 1 receiver, and that could be the case even if Toney shows enough improvement to gain clearance for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll didn't express much optimism Tuesday that Toney (hamstring) will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Bears, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Daboll noted that both Toney and Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) are showing improvement after they missed Monday's Week 3 loss to the Cowboys, but the quick turnaround may make it difficult for either wideout to gain clearance for game action. Toney likely has a better chance of suiting up in Week 4 than Robinson, as he's thus far sat out only one game to the rookie's two and was listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game, whereas Robinson was officially ruled out.

    Toney (hamstring) is inactive for Monday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Toney has been sparsely utilized through two games, making two catches for no yards on three targets. After failing to practice Friday or Saturday due to a hamstring injury, he was given a doubtful designation for Week 3 action. With his status confirmed for Monday, Toney will join rookie Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) on the inactive list. The Giants' receiving corps thus will be composed of Sterling Shepard, David Sills, Richie James, Kenny Golladay and Darius Slayton.

    Toney (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's primetime matchup against the Cowboys, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

  • Not expected to practice Saturday

    Toney (hamstring) is not expected to participate in Saturday's practice, according to head coach Brian Daboll, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Toney was a DNP in Friday's practice after participating earlier in the week. The second-year wide receiver has played just 33 offensive snaps through the first two games of the regular season and has compiled 23 total yards across four touches. Given his downward-trending status, fantasy managers may need to prepare for the 2021 first-round pick to miss some time.

    Toney (hamstring) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's injury report, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Friday report is a projection, with the Giants holding a walkthrough rather than a more physically demanding practice. Between his role uncertainty and injury troubles, Toney won't be a good Week 3 fantasy option even if he ends up playing Monday night against the Cowboys. A downgrade from limited participation Thursday to non-participation Friday isn't ideal, either.

    Analysis: Toney appears caught in an unfortunate cycle of practicing off and on throughout the week only to barely play on game day, neither taking the time to recover fully nor progressing sufficiently during practice to fit into the game plan to any meaningful extent.

    Analysis: Toney continues to nurse a lingering hamstring issue that has landed him on the injury report both of the first two weeks of the season. The second-year wideout has avoided the inactive list for both of the Giants' games, but he played only 12 and 37 percent of offensive snaps in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively. He'll work to get fully healthy ahead of Monday's divisional contest against Dallas.

    Analysis: Toney's snap count increased from seven to 26 in his second game of the season, but that didn't result in a better stat line. After rushing twice for 23 yards in the opener, Toney again received two touches Week 2, both in the first quarter. His first catch resulted in a two-yard loss, and his second was a short toss that gained only two yards.

While rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was ruled out Friday, Toney will be given a chance to contribute to the team's receiving corps this weekend.

    Toney (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Toney battled injuries throughout his rookie season, so it's discouraging to see him banged up again early in his sophomore campaign. The 2021 first-round pick is a talented playmaker with the ball in his hands, but Toney touched the ball only twice Week 1, so he'll be tough to trust until he's given a larger role.

The 2021 first-round pick also is coming off offseason knee surgery, but his current issue doesn't appear related to that procedure.

He's thus on track for Week 1 at Tennessee, despite being in and out of practice throughout training camp after having minor surgery in the offseason. His recent limitation in practice doesn't appear related to the knee, with reports suggesting it's likely a hamstring or groin injury.

It's feasible that he could see some snaps as a wildcat quarterback this season, though his fantasy value is clearly tied to his performance as a wide receiver.

    Analysis: The Giants haven't commented on expectations for his participation, but this suggests Toney will practice in some capacity the first week of training camp. He wore a non-contact jersey during June minicamp, after having arthroscopic surgery on his knee earlier this offseason. Fellow Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) is one of the players on the PUP list to start camp, leaving Kenny Golladay, Toney, Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton as the top candidates for first-team snaps.

    Analysis: Toney underwent minor knee surgery earlier this offseason and wasn't able to participate in the team's OTAs. However, the arthroscopic surgery doesn't appear to be significant, and the 2021 first-round pick should be back to 100 percent by training camp. Toney finished his rookie campaign with 39 receptions on 57 targets for 420 yards, but he was sidelined for six of the final seven games of the season due to numerous injuries.

While the arthroscopic surgery appears to be insignificant, Toney is not expected to participate in any offseason OTAs altogether. Rookie second-round pick Wan'Dale Robinson will likely be the biggest beneficiary in Toney's absence, but expect the Florida product to be ready to play once training camp rolls around.

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he looks forward to working with Toney, who was the subject of trade rumors prior to the 2022 NFL Draft, Ryan Chichester of WFAN Sports Radio 66 New York reports.

    Analysis: New York added second-round pick Wan'Dale Robinson to an already-deep wideout room, but they'll likely need help even if Toney has a big Year 2, considering Darius Slayton is in a contract year and coming off a poor season while Sterling Shepard works his way back from an Achilles tear.

    Analysis: Per Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York, it's unclear if that was the original plan for Toney (who wasn't present for start of the team's voluntary offseason workouts last week), or if recent trade rumors may have factored into the wideout's decision to join in. With that in mind, Vacchiano adds that he's been told the Giants weren't actively shopping the 2021 first-rounder. Instead, Vacchiano indicates that the team has been willing to listen if other franchises called about the 23-year-old,…read more

  • Could be moved

    Pat LeonardNew York Daily News indicates that the Giants are open to trading Toney (shoulder).

    Analysis: The report suggests that the Giants are making calls to other teams to see what they can get in return for the 2021 first-rounder, who wasn't present for start of the team's voluntary offseason workouts earlier this week. In his first pro season, Toney -- who was projected to add some speed and yards-after-the-catch ability to New York's offense -- dealt with a variety of injuries en route to catching 39 passes on 57 targets for 420 yards and no TDs in 10 games.

  • Passing on voluntary program

    Head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Toney (shoulder) isn't present for the start of voluntary offseason workouts, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Toney, who ended his rookie season dealing with a shoulder injury, isn't yet participating in team activities this offseason. Of course, it's only April, and there's still plenty of time for the 2021 first-round pick to get in some on-field work before Week 1, but his decision to abstain from early voluntary activities is notable. Perhaps most significantly, as Daboll notes, is the fact that Toney has yet to receive a copy of the new offensive playbook.

  • Injury-plagued rookie year

    Toney (shoulder) finished an injury-plagued rookie season with 39 catches on 57 targets for 420 yards and no touchdowns.

    Analysis: Toney had just about every issue imaginable as a rookie with hamstring, ankle, thumb, quad, oblique and shoulder injuries as well as two stints on the COVID-19 list. But on the rare occasion he was healthy, he was electric, breaking tackles and showing rare quickness and burst. His Week 5 game against the Cowboys (13-10-189-0) showed his upside if the Giants ever get competent QB play, and Toney himself stays on the field.

  • Out for Week 18

    Toney (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 matchup with Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Toney showed flashes of brilliance but mostly spent his rookie campaign playing through or rehabbing injuries, primarily to his lower body until the recent shoulder issue cost him the final two weeks. Toney finishes with a 39-420-0 receiving line on 57 targets in 10 games, with the highlight being his 10-catch, 189-yard performance in a Week 5 loss at Dallas. That came on the heels of a 78-yard game the week before, but Toney never cleared even 50 yards again, making only five more appearances…read more

  • Again working on side at practice

    Toney (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, Toney took part in the Giants' team stretch during the open portion of Thursday's practice, but he didn't join his healthy teammates for drills and focused on rehab work. The Giants haven't formally ruled Toney out for Sunday's game against Washington, but the rookie wideout's lack of practice reps of late seemingly puts him on track for another absence. Toney has already sat out five of the Giants' last six games.

    Toney (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice report, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Toney is being listed as a non-participant for the first time since picking up a shoulder issue Week 16, though he was spotted working out with a Giants trainer last Friday before being ruled out ahead of the Giants' Week 17 loss to the Bears. The rookie first-round pick may be setting himself up for a return Sunday against Washington, but he likely will need to string together a few practices this week before the team clears him for his 11th appearance of the campaign.

    Toney (oblique) secured four of nine targets for 28 yards and recovered a fumble in the Giants' 34-10 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

    Analysis: The rookie jumped back into action for the first time since Week 11 and was busy, pacing the team in receiving yards and targets while sharing the lead in receptions. However, all of those were rather empty accomplishments for Toney, considering the Giants mustered all of 108 passing yards on the afternoon.

    Analysis: Toney's availability should be confirmed when the Giants release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Considering Toney hasn't played since Week 11 and has managed only one limited practice in the last five weeks, the Giants may be inclined to ease him back in with a lighter snap count than usual, making him a shaky fantasy option.

    Analysis: Toney hasn't played since Week 11 due to the pair of injuries, and he was also unavailable for Week 15 after landing on the reserve/COVID-19 list. After being reinstated to the roster Thursday, Toney closed the week as a limited participant in practice, perhaps implying that he's not fully healthy and/or conditioned. If Toney is able to avoid the inactive list and put an end to a four-game absence, he could be eased back into the mix with a lighter snap count than usual.

    Analysis: Toney spent a week and a half on the reserve list after testing positive for the virus. Prior to the diagnosis, he missed three games in a row due to a pair of injuries, and it's unclear where he stands with his conditioning now that he's allowed back at the Giants' facilities. In any case, Toney will have Friday's practice to prove his health before the team potentially tags him with a game-day designation ahead of Sunday's visit to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Toney appears to be nearing clearance from the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he won't be available for Wednesday's walk-through practice. Oblique and quadriceps injuries have kept Toney sidelined since Week 11, so the Giants will need to see how the rookie checks out from a conditioning standpoint before making a decision about his availability for Week 16 in Philadelphia.

    Analysis: Toney tested positive for the virus Monday, and even after the NFL and NFLPA agreed to changes to the COVID-19 return-to-play protocol a few days later, the wideout apparently hasn't progressed enough in his recovery from the illness to suit up Sunday. Considering Toney hasn't played since Week 11 due to oblique and quadriceps injuries, the Giants likely would have wanted to see him practice in some fashion anyway before making him available to play.

    Analysis: Since playing 32 snaps on offense in the Giants' Week 11 loss to the Buccaneers, Toney hasn't been able to practice in any capacity while managing the two injuries. He's already missed two games as a result, and he looks to be on his way to a third straight absence Sunday against the Chargers. Unless Toney is able to advance to limited participation in Friday's practice, he'll likely be ruled out for Sunday when the Giants release their final injury report of the week.

During that contest, he spent some time on the sideline and the locker room receiving treatment for what head coach Joe Judge later revealed to be a laceration on his hand.

    Analysis: Toney has been in recovery mode since aggravating an ankle injury Week 6 against the Rams, sitting out Week 7 as a result. But there was an expectation both he and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) would be available to the Giants offense Monday, and after running routes for Daniel Jones during pregame warmups -- according to Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record -- it has come to pass. Toney will be one of the team's top skill-position players available for Jones with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Saquon…read more

  • Trending toward active

    Toney (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chiefs, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports the rookie first-round pick will travel with the team to Kansas City , though Toney is still shaping up to be a game-time decision. The Giants already ruled out Kenny Golladay (knee) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) but should see the return of Sterling Shepard (hamstring), who missed last week's win over the Panthers. Should Toney eventually play Monday, expect to see the 22-year-old operate outside opposite Darius Slayton and Dante Pettis.

  • Returns as limited participant

    Toney (ankle) was a limited participant in his return to practice Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: As expected, given that it was Toney's first practice since aggravating an ankle injury during the Giants' Week 6 loss to Los Angeles. The rookie declined to say anything about his expectations for Monday's game in Kansas City, simply telling the media he did "enough" work during Friday's practice and is taking things day by day, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Sterling Shepard (hamstring) also was a limited participant Friday, while Kenny Golladay (knee) missed another practice and thus…read more

    Toney (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The rookie likely will be a limited participant in his first practice since aggravating an ankle injury in the Week 6 loss to Los Angeles. While Toney returned to the field Friday, teammates Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Kenny Golladay (knee) reportedly remain limited to rehab work. Toney thus seems most likely of the bunch to make it back for Monday's game in Kansas City.

Coach Joe Judge told Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post on Thursday that he's optimistic Toney, Golladay and Barkley will get back on the field Friday, which could set up any or all of them on a path to active status Monday at Kansas City.

It's unclear which of the four, if any, is expected to return this week, and a Monday night matchup with the Chiefs makes things a little more difficult from an injury standpoint, especially if the Giants end up with multiple game-time decisions.

His next chance to play will be a Monday night game against the Chiefs in Week 8, while the Giants are left with an injury-riddled receiver group in the meantime.

Citing a source familiar with Toney's injury, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reported Tuesday that the Giants are bracing for Toney to miss at least one game, though the team is optimistic the rookie will avoid a stint on injured reserve, which would keep him out for at least three weeks.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Toney (ankle) is trending in the wrong direction to play Sunday against the Panthers, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Toney only lasted six offensive snaps this past Sunday versus the Rams before aggravating the ankle issue that bugged him during Week 6 prep. He's now expected to miss time, but not enough to require an IR stint. If that's the case, Toney might only sit out Week 7 before getting the benefit of a Week 8 bye, meaning he could complete his recovery by the time the Giants travel to face the Chiefs on Monday, Nov. 1.

    Analysis: With Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) inactive, Toney was heavily utilized on the Giants' first drive of the game, hauling in all three targets for 36 yards. On the final reception, though, Toney made a juke on the play before limping to the sideline and going to the locker room. He dealt with an ankle injury during Week 6 prep, so it appears he may have aggravated the issue.

He won't face a suspension after throwing a punch at a Cowboys defender, and after demonstrating enough progress in his recovery from the ankle injury, Toney should be on track to handle a top-two role at receiver for the Giants in Week 5 with Kenny Golladay (knee) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) both inactive.

Kenny Golladay (knee) is officially ruled out, while John Ross gives the team a deep-threat alternative if Slayton is out or limited (or even if he's not).

    Giants head coach Joe Judge said the ankle/foot injury Toney sustained in Sunday's 44-20 loss to the Cowboys isn't "anything significant, in terms of season-ending," but the rookie receiver's status for this weekend's game against the Rams is uncertain, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Toney was forced out late in Sunday's contest after being ejected for punching Cowboys safety Damontae Kazee, but the wideout still appeared to hurt his leg at some point earlier in the contest, as he was carted to the locker room shortly after he was tossed from the game. He still saw enough field time and took advantage of numerous absences from skill-position players to finish with a 10-189-0 line on 13 targets, while also gaining seven yards on a carry.

    Analysis: The rookie's career-best effort was cut short with just over six minutes remaining in the contest for throwing a punch at a Cowboys defender following his final catch of the afternoon. Toney was otherwise outstanding in the second straight absence of Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard due to hamstring injuries, as well as the early exit of Kenny Golladay with a knee issue.

    Analysis: After handling a limited role behind Kenny Golladay, Shepard and Slayton in the Giants' first three contests, Toney took advantage of his largest opportunity to date while the latter two pass catchers were sidelined last week against Atlanta. In the Giants' 34-30 win, Toney drew nine targets and recorded six receptions for 78 yards. John Ross and C.J.

  • Six catches in OT win

    Toney caught six of nine targets for 78 yards and added a one-yard rush in Sunday's 27-21 overtime win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Toney took advantage of increased playing time with both Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton sidelined by hamstring injuries. The rookie first-round pick led the team in targets and finally showcased his playmaking ability after totaling just 14 receiving yards through three weeks. Even if the injured receivers are able to return in Week 5 against the Cowboys, Toney should remain a prominent component of the Giants' passing game moving forward.

    Coach Joe Judge said he will "definitely try" to get Toney the ball Sunday in New Orleans, though Judge did caution that he doesn't necessarily expect the rookie to replicate what Sterling Shepard (hamstring) or Darius Slayton (hamstring) normally do, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Toney caught two of three targets for 16 yards last week, handling a 66-percent snap share with Shepard and Slayton exiting early. Both wide receivers will miss Week 4, but that doesn't necessarily mean Toney will have an every-down role or even a starting job, as John Ross (hamstring) and C.J.

    Toney caught two of three targets for 16 yards Sunday against the Falcons.

    Analysis: With Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard suffering hamstring injuries, Toney could be in line for more work. The first-round rookie has dealt with nagging injuries himself, cutting into his readiness to make an early-season impact. Toney profiles best as a slot receiver, so he would have a clearer path to deliver fantasy value if Shepard in particular misses time.

The rookie first-round pick already has started grumbling about his lack of usage, but perhaps a visit from the Falcons will be exactly what he and the Giants need to get going.

If Toney moves past the ankle injury ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, he'll likely have only a small role on offense.

    Analysis: Toney totaled two receptions for minus-2 yards in his NFL debut last week, but he didn't get any looks while playing 28 percent of the team's offensive snaps Thursday. The 2021 first-rounder missed a significant portion of camp and has had a slow start to his professional career.

But the maintenance has done the trick, and he'll be out there Week 1 versus a tough Denver secondary. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) also cleared to play, the team will have its top four wide receivers (also, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton) available for quarterback Daniel Jones on Sunday.

Regardless of exactly what issues have been slowing down the 2021 first-rounder, the time that he's missed this summer hasn't helped the Florida product's chances of making an immediate fantasy splash, with Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton also in the mix at wide receiver for the Giants.

    Coach Joe Judge noted Monday that Toney will be limited as the Giants take things "day by day" with their 2021 first-rounder, who was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list this past Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Analysis: Though the rookie wideout has been cleared to take the field, the team will ease Toney back into the mix after the time he missed. Once he's up to speed, the Florida product will look to carve out a role in a Giants receiving corps that also includes Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton and Sterling Shepard.

  • Rejoins team for camp

    Toney rejoined the Giants on Tuesday after recently testing positive for COVID-19, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Toney missed the rookie reporting date last week when he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he's back with his teammates Tuesday as veterans report to camp. The first-round pick figures to take most of his reps with the backups this summer, while Kenny Golladay, Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton will handle most of the snaps with QB Daniel Jones.

  • Likely to be eased into offense

    Toney is likely to be brought along slowly by the Giants to start the coming campaign, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Toney was selected by the team 20th overall in this year's draft, and as a rookie he'll contend for touches with free-agent acquisition Kenny Golladay, as well as returning veterans Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton. While Toney's superb playmaking ability could have him contributing on special teams as a returner out of the gate, he'll likely be eased into the offense in specialized packages.
