Darius Slay Jr.
CB - Philadelphia Eagles
Week 5 Outlook
Availability
Darius Slay (knee) will sit out Week 18's game against the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Slay returned to practice this week, but the Eagles are not going to risk putting the five-time Pro Bowler back on the field with the playoffs looming. Slay is expected to be fully ready to go for the postseason.
Darius Slay (knee) will miss Week 15's matchup with the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
Slay underwent arthroscopic knee surgery earlier this week which will cost him at least Monday night's game in Seattle. While this is obviously a blow to the Eagles' defense, the five-time Pro Bowler is expected back before the end of the regular season.
Darius Slay was sidelined in practice on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
It is the second straight day Slay missed practice. With the Eagles' in Seattle on Monday, he'll have one more day to practice on Saturday ahead of this week's game.
Darius Slay missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
There is reportedly still optimism Slay will play against the Cowboys Sunday night. With an indoor practice on Thursday and Sunday’s game on turf, they’re giving him a light workload in practice this week.
All-Pro CB Darius Slay (knee) has been ruled out by the Philadelphia Eagles for Week 6 against the New York Jets.
Fantasy Impact
This news benefits managers with Jets WR Garrett Wilson, who likely could have seen the Slay shadow in Week 6. However, Wilson will still be facing off with another solid CB in James Bradberry. The Eagles will miss Slay's big-play abilities, but with how deep their roster is, they'll be able to survive his absence.
