Darius Slay Injured Late In Loss to Buccaneers

Darius Slay Injured Late In Loss to Buccaneers

10 months ago

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (back) was injured late in the fourth quarter in Monday night's wild-card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had to be carted to the locker room. Slay got bent awkwardly while trying to make a tackle and then grabbed at the right side of his back. He appeared to be in a lot of pain and could be dealing with a significant injury, but we may not know the extent of it until Monday after he undergoes more tests. The Eagles' season is now over anyway after the 32-9 loss, so Slay will have all offseason to heal up. The 33-year-old had missed the final four games of the regular season due to a knee issue. The five-time Pro Bowler only played 12 games in his fourth year in Philly and finished the regular season with 57 tackles (48 solo), two interceptions (one for a touchdown) and 14 passes defensed.
