Poised for more downfield work?
Chiefs GM Brett Veach believes Toney has a "vertical game" and can become more than a "gadget guy", ESPN's Adam Teicher reports.
Analysis: The Chiefs traded for the 2021 first-round pick in late October and put him in a part-time role that included 17 targets (7.3 aDOT), 10 punt returns and five carries in seven regular-season games. The nagging lower-body injuries that limited Toney in New York carried over to Kansas City, but he ultimately had a big hand in the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory with his eight total snaps in the big game including a five-yard TD catch and 65-yard punt return (both in the fourth quarter). He's now one of…read more

Gets back to full participation
Toney (ankle/hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: The Chiefs held Toney out of drills during the first week of prep for Super Bowl LVII due to a combination of ankle and hamstring injuries. He kicked off this week with a cap on his reps Wednesday, a practice in which coach Andy Reid said Toney was "doing everything," per James Palmer of NFL Network. While his listing during that session said otherwise, Toney appears to have put any questions about his health behind him following Thursday's session. After Kansas City placed Mecole Hardman…read more

Officially limited Wednesday
Toney (ankle/hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
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.

Not practicing Thursday
Coach Andy Reid said Toney (ankle) won't take part in practice Thursday, Nate Taylor of The Athletic reports.
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

DNP to begin Super Bowl prep
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. Kansas City has a week and a half to get as close to 100 percent as possible before taking on the…read more

Won't return vs. Bengals
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.

Suits up Sunday
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.

Trending in positive direction
Toney (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans, is trending toward playing, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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. With Mecole Hardman (abdomen) having not been activated from injured reserve this week, Toney could push Justin Watson and Skyy Moore for the…read more

Questionable against Texans
Toney (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.
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.

Limited in practice Thursday
Toney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Toney maintained the same level of practice activity from Wednesday, but because he's missed the past three games with the hamstring injury, he'll most likely need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game at Houston. If available this weekend, Toney could have to vie with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) for the No. 3 receiver role. Hardman has been sidelined for the past four games, but he resumed practicing Wednesday and could be ready to return to the…read more

Limited practice Wednesday
Toney (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Eyeing Week 15 return
Toney (hamstring), whom the Chiefs ruled out for Sunday's game at Denver, is likely to return to action Week 15 against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Toney will end up missing his third consecutive game this weekend, but he's at least demonstrated some meaningful progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury in recent days. 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. The Chiefs presumably want to see Toney put in a full practice…read more

Unavailable Sunday
Toney (hamstring) has been downgraded from questionable to out and won't play Sunday against the Broncos.
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. Expect both Skyy Moore and Justin Watson to continue seeing additional snaps in Toney's absence.

Questionable for Week 14
Toney (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Toney was limited in practice throughout the week after missing Kansas City's last two games with the hamstring injury. If he suits up Sunday, Toney could be eased back in with a limited workload against the stout Denver secondary to avoid another setback with his frequently injured hamstring.

Logs another limited practice
Toney (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Back-to-back limited practice sessions have Toney trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. If Toney is able to return from a two-game absence this weekend, the 2021 first-rounder could claim a key role in Kansas City's Week 14 passing offense alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, with Mecole Hardman (abdomen) still on IR.

Back at practice
Toney (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
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.

Sidelined again Sunday
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.

Won't play Week 12
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.

Toney (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
Analysis: Toney didn't practice Wednesday, so the wideout's continued absence Thursday clouds his status 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.

Won't return to SNF
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.

Hamstring injury flares up
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.

Added snaps on tap
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. In his second contest for the Chiefs since coming over in a trade with the Giants, Toney hauled in four of his five targets for 57 yards and a TD and rushed twice for 33 yards in the team's Week 10 win over the Jaguars.

Produces with more opportunity
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. The second-year wideout's increase in involvement is encouraging under any circumstance and could lead to even more production than it did Sunday if Smith-Schuster is forced to miss the Week…read more

Light involvement in Chiefs debut
Toney gathered in both of his targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 20-17 overtime victory against the Titans.
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: The report notes that Toney -- who isn't listed on Kansas City's Week 9 injury report -- has recovered from the Grade 2 hamstring pull that he suffered Week 2 while he was with the Giants. In his looming debut with the Chiefs, the second-year wideout will likely handle a light workload, but as the season progresses, look for Toney to work his way into the team's wideout rotation.

Poised to make debut with KC
Toney is a good bet to make his Chiefs debut Sunday against the Titans, Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star reports. "I think so," coach Andy Reid said Friday when asked about Toney's upcoming availability.
Analysis: Kansas City acquired Toney from the Giants on Oct. 27, but the former was in the midst of its bye week at the time. Now with a full week of practice under his belt and having avoided Week 9 injury reports entirely after making just two appearances for his old team this season due to hamstring issues, he's set to contribute for the first time since Week 2.

Preparing to play Sunday
The Chiefs plan to have Toney play in Sunday's game against the Titans, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports. "We'll try to work him in," head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday regarding the wideout, whom the team acquired last week. "He's a smart kid. He's been with us a couple days, so we've had a chance to talk to him. He picks things up fairly easily."
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.

Deemed healthy by new coach
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Monday that Toney (hamstring) "is healthy now," Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Analysis: Toney suited up just twice for the Giants this season due to a lingering hamstring injury before being traded to the Chiefs, but he appears to be healthy enough to start practicing with Kansas City on Wednesday. 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. Regardless, Kansas City paid a hefty price to acquire the dynamic wideout's services, so…read more

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. He hasn't practiced in any fashion since Oct. 5, but the Chiefs must have been confident enough in his health and talent to bring him aboard. With Kansas City on bye Week 8, Toney's first chance to make his team debut will come…read more

Another missed practice
Toney (hamstring) isn't practicing Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Toney hasn't suited up for the Giants since Week 2 due to injuries to both of his hamstrings. Veteran Kenny Golladay (knee) is also sitting out practice Wednesday, so New York could once again have to proceed with Wan'Dale Robinson (undisclosed), Darius Slayton, David Sills and Richie James as its main options at receiver this weekend in Seattle.

Officially out
Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: With Toney and Kenny Golladay (hamstring) out again, the Giants have Darius Slayton, Marcus Johnson, Wan'Dale Robinson, David Sills and Richie James available. All got some playing time last week, with Robinson catching his first pro touchdown and perhaps working toward a larger role as the season progresses.

Not expected to play in Week 7
Toney (hamstring) did not practice Thursday and is not expected to play against Jacksonville on Sunday, ESPN's Jordan Raanan reports.
Analysis: It's not clear whether Toney is making any progress in his recovery, but if he misses Sunday's game it will mark his sixth missed game in a row. 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.

Trending toward another absence
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.

Analysis: According to Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post, Toney wasn't even spotted working out off to the side during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice. 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.

Toney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Analysis: Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) also sat out practice, while Sterling Shepard (knee) is out for the season with a torn ACL.

Could sit again Week 4
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.

Sitting out Monday
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.

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.

Listed as DNP
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.

No practice Wednesday
Toney isn't practicing Wednesday due to hamstring soreness, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
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.

Nets no yardage on two catches
Toney caught two of three targets for zero yards in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Panthers.
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. The Giants appear to be avoiding commitment to any predetermined receiver depth chart -- for instance, Kenny Golladay saw just two snaps Sunday after…read more

Analysis: Toney was a late addition to New York's Week 2 injury report, having a cap on his reps both Thursday and Friday due to a hamstring injury. 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 will be on the lookout for his first target for the campaign after taking two carries for 23 yards in Week 1 in Tennessee.

Analysis: Toney is dealing with hamstring tightness, and he played only seven offensive snaps while getting two touches Week 1, but he looks like he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest.

Questionable against Panthers
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.

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.

Toney (knee) hasn't been placed on the PUP list to start training camp, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
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.

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.

Undergoes minor knee surgery

Analysis: The 2021 first-round pick hasn't been participating in OTAs for good reason. While the arthroscopic surgery appears to be insignificant, Toney is not expected to participate in any offseason OTAs altogether.

Seemingly staying in New York
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.

Joins voluntary workouts
Toney (shoulder) was present for Monday's voluntary workout, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
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.

Gets in limited practice
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.

Four grabs in return
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. Toney has indisputable upside in his own right, but the prospect of playing out the final two regular-season games with Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm as his quarterbacks certainly dampens his…read more

Analysis: After completing a recent stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Toney still had some concerns with the oblique and quad issues that sidelined him Weeks 12 through 14, managing a limited practice Friday and earning a questionable tag for Week 16 action.

Toney (oblique/quadriceps) remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles but is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

The Giants activated Toney (oblique/quadriceps) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
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.

Idle for another practice
Toney (oblique/quadriceps) will work out off to the side during Thursday's practice and is set to be listed as a non-participant on the Giants' official injury report, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
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.

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.

No practice Thursday
Toney (ankle) was unable to practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: After all of Toney, Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Saquon Barkley (ankle) took part in Wednesday's team stretch while in uniform, only Shepard handled some practice reps one day later. 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. Still, Toney has some work to do to make sure his…read more

On field Wednesday
Toney (ankle) is dressed for Wednesday's practice and was spotted going through stretches with his teammates, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: The same goes for Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Saquon Barkley (ankle), each of whom also missed the Week 7 win over Carolina. 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. New York will release its first official injury report Thursday, and if Wednesday is any…read more

Out for Week 7
Toney (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: Toney didn't practice at all this week, as he held out to rest after aggravating his right ankle injury in the first quarter of the Week 6 loss to the Rams. 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.

Toney (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The same applies to fellow wideout Kenny Golladay (knee), with Raanan suggesting that both players don't seem likely to suit up Sunday against the Panthers. On the plus side from the Giants' perspective is that Darius Slayton (hamstring) is practicing this week, with Friday's injury report destined to add clarity with regard to which wide receivers will be on hand to work in tandem this weekend with Sterling Shepard, who caught 10 of his 14 targets for 76 yards in the team's Week 6 loss to the…read more

Not practicing Wednesday
Toney (ankle) was working off to the side during the open portion of Wednesday's practice and is set to go down as a non-participant on the Giants' first Week 7 injury report, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Toney looks to be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against the Panthers after he was only able to play six offensive snaps Week 6 before aggravating an ankle injury. 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. Meanwhile, Kenny…read more

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.

More tests on tap
Giants head coach Joe Judge said Toney aggravated his existing ankle injury in Sunday's 38-11 loss to the Rams and will undergo further testing Monday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite being limited in practice all of last week with the injury and taking a questionable designation into Sunday, Toney suited up against the Rams and was on his way to a productive day with three catches for 36 yards before being ruled out shortly after tweaking the ankle following his sixth snap of the contest. Toney's upcoming tests should shed more light on the extent of his injury, but even if he gets good news, it wouldn't be surprising if the Giants took a conservative approach with…read more

Exits with ankle injury
Toney won't return to Sunday's game against the Rams due to an ankle injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
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.

Questionable, but should play
Toney (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, though "all signs point to him playing," Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Toney and Sterling Shepard figure to take two of the top three receiver spots, with the other potentially going to Darius Slayton, who is listed as questionable after missing the past two weeks with a hamstring injury. 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). It's a messy situation ahead of a difficult matchup with the Rams, but it's possible the chaos works in Toney's favor again,…read more

Toney has benefitted from the pair's DNPs, including a 10-catch, 189-yard effort on 13 targets this past Sunday in Dallas before he was ejected for throwing a punch in the second half.

Analysis: The extent of Toney's participation in the session won't be known until the Giants release their first Week 6 practice report later in the day, but the fact that the rookie wideout is on the field in any capacity this early in the week suggests he'll have a good shot at playing Sunday against the Rams.

Status uncertain for Week 6
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: Toney was ejected at the end of his breakout performance in Sunday's loss to Dallas, exiting in the fourth quarter after catching 10 passes for 189 yards. He was actually carted off to the locker room to have an X-ray on his ankle/foot area after the ejection, but there hasn't been any indication of a significant injury.

Toney was shuttled on a cart for X-rays on his leg after being ejected from Sunday's 44-20 loss to Dallas, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The tests are believed to have been precautionary, but the Giants can ill afford to lose the rookie first-round pick considering they could already be without Kenny Golladay (knee), Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Darius Slayton (hamstring) in the receiving corps.

Career game marred by ejection
Toney brought in 10 of 13 targets for 189 yards and threw an incompletion on his one pass attempt in the Giants' 44-20 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday before being ejected with just over six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
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.

Another start awaits
Toney is expected to remain in a starting role Sunday against the Cowboys with fellow wideouts Darius Slayton (hamstring) and Sterling Shepard (hamstring) ruled out for the second straight game.
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. Board are also expected to help fill in for Shepard and Slayton, but Toney outpaced both players comfortably in both snaps and targets Week 4. In…read more

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.

Should get more chances
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. Board could get more playing time this Sunday. On the other hand, the Giants can plan ahead of time to manufacture some additional touches for Toney, whereas last week they didn't expect to be without…read more

Catches two passes
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.

No injury designation for Week 3
Toney (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Falcons, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Toney was limited in practice Thursday but will be good to go for a juicy Week 3 matchup against a Falcons defense that's been torched for 40 points per game thus far. 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.

Limited by ankle injury
The Giants added Toney to their injury report Thursday, listing him as a limited participant in practice due to an ankle issue, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The rookie receiver missed time in training camp with a hamstring injury, but he was cleared ahead of the season opener and has played in both of the Giants' first two games, logging 22 offensive snaps while recording two receptions for minus-2 yards. 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.

Toney (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants capped Toney's practice reps all week as the rookie worked his way back from a hamstring issue that didn't allow him to suit up during the preseason. 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.

That should be coming soon enough with the Giants expecting him to play Week 1 against Denver, but the first-round pick may have to settle a small role to open his career, even with the team set back by a number of other skill-position injuries.

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.

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.
