Slater was held out of Monday's practice with a hamstring injury, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.
The severity of Slater's injury isn't known. Slater is listed as a wide receiver on the depth chart, but he hasn't caught a regular-season pass since 2011 and instead earns his spot on the Patriots' roster due to his standout play on special teams.
