  • Steelers' Darius Slay: Officially signs with Pittsburgh

    Slay signed a one-year contract with the Steelers on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Slay officially finds a new home in Pittsburgh, bringing veteran leadership to the team's secondary and becoming an option to start opposite Joey Porter at outside cornerback. The 34-year-old and six-time Pro Bowler started all 14 of his regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2024, racking up 49 tackles (39 solo), 13 passes defensed, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Set to join Pittsburgh

    Slay is slated to sign with the Steelers following his release from the Eagles, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. The veteran cornerback from Mississippi State is headed to Pittsburgh after spending the first 12 seasons of his career with the Lions and Eagles. Although Slay has yet to officially be released by Philadelphia, he's expected to be cut after June 1, clearing the way for him to sign with the Steelers. Over his last two seasons with the Eagles, the 34-year-old posted 106 total tackles and 18 passes defended, including two interceptions, across 26 regular-season contests. Slay is expected to bring veteran leadership to Pittsburgh's defense while also strengthening the team's secondary.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Expected to be cut

    The Eagles announced Monday that they plan to release Slay, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. Philadelphia has yet to officially release the one-time All-Pro cornerback, but the move is expected to take place after June 1, as it saves the Eagles roughly $4.3 million in cap space, per McManus. The 34-year-old was likely a cap casualty, as the team needs space to retain several key free agents from its 2025 Super Bowl win, including Zack Baun, Mekhi Becton, Milton Williams and Josh Sweat. Slay remained relatively productive during his final two years in Philadelphia, recording 106 total tackles and 28 passes defended, including two interceptions, over 26 regular-season appearances. Once his release becomes official, he's likely to sign with a team in need of veteran leadership and secondary help.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Logs 13 pass defenses in 2024

    Slay finished the 2024 regular season with 49 tackles (39 solo), 13 pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 games. He added 14 tackles (12 solo) and five pass defenses (including one interception) across four playoff games. Slay started at outside corner in every single game he played in 2024 opposite Quinyon Mitchell. Slay wasn't able to record an interception during the regular season, but he did pick off Jordan Love in the Eagles' 22-10 win over the Packers in the wild-card round. Slay will enter the final year of his two-year, $42 million contract, and it's unclear whether he'll look to sign an extension or hang up his cleats following the 2025 campaign.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Not playing as expected

    Slay (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants. As expected, Slay and other Eagles starters will sit out of Sunday's regular-season finale as Philadelphia is locked in as the NFC's No. 2 seed for the playoffs. The veteran corner will finish the regular season with 49 tackles (39 solo), 13 pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 14 games. Fellow starter Quinyon Mitchell is expected to see limited snaps, so Isaiah Rodgers and Kelee Ringo will see the majority of snaps at outside corner for Week 18.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Nice showing in win

    Slay recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers. Despite having missed two games due to injury this season, Slay now has 10 pass breakups on the year through Week 14. He'll look to add to that total in Week 15, though he might not have quite as many opportunities to do so versus the run-heavy Steelers.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Ready for Week 14

    Slay (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports. Slay upgraded to full participation Thursday and Friday after logging a limited practice session Wednesday, suggesting that he's passed through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to suit up Sunday. Expect the 12th-year pro to start opposite Quinyon Mitchell as part of the Eagles' top outside cornerback duo in Week 14.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Estimated as limited Wednesday

    Slay (concussion) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough. Slay was diagnosed with a concussion in Week 12 against the Rams, and he wasn't cleared in time for this past Sunday's game against the Ravens. Slay would need to clear the league's five step concussion protocols in order to play against the Panthers on Sunday, and a full practice session over the next two days would be a step in the right direction for the veteran corner.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Done for night with concussion

    Slay exited Sunday night's game against the Rams with a concussion and will not return. Slay was injured on the first defensive series of the second half.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Injured on first series in Week 10

    Slay hurt his ankle in Sunday's game against Dallas and is questionable to return. Slay headed to the medical tent after appearing to tweak his ankle on Dallas' opening drive, per Tim McManus of ESPN.com. It's unclear at this point if the injury is going to prevent Slay from reentering the contest. Isaiah Rodgers has taken over at cornerback in Slay's stead.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Logs full practice Thursday

    Slay (groin) was a full practice participant Thursday. Slay missed practice all of last week due to a groin injury, which caused him to be sidelined for the Eagles' Week 9 win over the Jaguars. He opened this week with a limited practice Wednesday, but he appears to be over the issue as he was able to participate without restrictions in Thursday's session. Barring any setbacks, Slay should be able to suit up for Sunday's NFC East showdown against the Cowboys.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Limited Wednesday

    Slay (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Slay couldn't suit up for the Eagles' Week 9 win over the Jaguars due to a groin injury sustained the week prior, but Wednesday's limited session suggests he could return as soon as Week 10's matchup against the Cowboys. His participation in practice Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether the veteran corner can play through the pain Sunday.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Slay (groin) was a DNP on Thursday's injury report. Slay suffered a groin injury during the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Bengals. He's opened the week with consecutive DNPs, and unless he can practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he's in jeopardy of being ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. If Slay is sidelined, Isaiah Rodgers would be the top candidate to start at corner alongside Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Good to go vs. Big Blue

    Slay (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Slay picked up a knee injury in Week 6 against the Browns. He was unable to practice Thursday, but he returned Friday and was able to practice without restriction.

  • Eagles' Darius Slay: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Slay (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice session. Slay is considered day-to-day with a knee injury he picked up in Week 6 against the Browns. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, but his inability to participate in Thursday's session is a step in the wrong direction and puts him in jeopardy of missing Week 7 against the Giants. Slay would give himself a good chance to play Sunday if he's able to return to practice Friday. The 2013 second-round pick has logged 19 tackles (14 solo), two pass breakups and one forced fumble through the first five games of the regular season.

    Slay (back) was spotted practicing at Thursday's minicamp session, Cayden Steele of NJ.com reports. The 33-year-old cornerback was carted off the field with a back injury during the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. Slay, a six-time Pro-Bowler, defended 14 passes, including two interceptions, in just 12 games last season. Now that Slay has returned to form, he's expected to serve as the Eagles' top corner once again in 2024.

Slay had just come back from a different injury -- he missed the Eagles' final four games of the regular season due to a knee issue.
