Darius Slay Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay has cleared the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. As a result, Slay will play on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants in Week 12 action. Slay has scored touchdowns in back-to-back weeks with a fumble returned for a touchdown in Week 10 and an interception returned for another score last Sunday before he suffered a concussion. The veteran defensive back now has three touchdowns on the season and 39 total tackles. His return is good news for a defense that is trending up in recent weeks, and they'll be a strong play this Sunday against the Giants, who are expected to be without wide receivers Kadarius Toney (quadriceps) and Sterling Shephard (quadriceps). Expect Slay to match up with Giants receiver Kenny Golladay on the outside.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (head) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 11 win over the New Orleans Saints. It was another big game for the Eagles defense in their 40-29 win over the Saints, and Slay was able to return an interception 51 yards for a touchdown before suffering his head injury. The score was the 30-year-old's second of the 2021 season, but he'll have to pass through the league's concussion protocol next week in order to play in a Week 12 matchup against the division-rival New York Giants. Coming into Sunday's game, Slay had 38 tackles (28 solo), two interceptions, three passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in 10 games.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona, as he has not yet passed the league's concussion protocol. Slay will not travel with the team for the game, leaving an enormous void in the secondary, significantly hampering the Eagles Defense appeal, while also heightening that of DeAndre Hopkins. Slay has compiled 55 combined tackles and five passes defended in 13 games this year, with Michael Jacquet likely to reprise a larger role in his absence. With explosive offensive firepower on the Cardinals' offense, season-long fantasy managers relying on Philadelphia's defense will want to look elsewhere without the team's top corner option available. Slay's next chance to return to action comes in Week 16 against Dallas.
