Things quite literally could not have gone much worse for the New York Giants in the first half of the showdown with the Tennessee Titans. The home team just entered the locker room holding a 13-0 lead over the Giants, and the Titans 100 percent have all of the momentum in this one right now.
For the Giants, everything seemed to be a struggle and the players don’t look happy. You can add wide receiver Kadarius Toney to the list. He didn’t receive a single target in the first 30 minutes of action and he was barely seen out on the field. To no one’s surprise, Toney didn’t look too happy about things, with a camera catching him looking pretty upset on the sideline.
Can someone tell me at home why this guy isn't playing? When he doesn't get that burn he's not a happy football player. #mindgames #Giants #KT pic.twitter.com/P4aROMJb5s

NY Giants wideout Kadarius Toney doesn’t look pleased with his lack of action
This is not what you’d expect to see from a 2021 first-round pick, but life with the Giants has been rough for Toney thus far. All offseason, there was speculation that this team might end up trading him away, but head coach Brian Daboll spoke glowingly about the speedster and made it clear he was going to have a big role in the offense.
That hasn’t been the case thus far in Week 1, with Toney still waiting to see the ball thrown his way. In that video above, you can see someone who isn’t happy with his current situation. Toney has all the potential in the world, but an injury this summer prevented him from making noise in training camp.
Is it preventing him from making a splash against the Titans? That’s tough to say, but the Giants aren’t giving him a chance to showcase his stuff. You’ve got to feel for Toney, as the former Florida Gators superstar hasn’t had a chance to really take off in the NFL just yet.
People everywhere are hoping that Toney can live up to the hype and prove all of his doubters wrong. Against the Titans, that hasn’t been the case just yet and the Giants as a whole are looking touch to watch.
