Darius Slayton Undergoes Thumb Surgery

Darius Slayton Undergoes Thumb Surgery

10 months ago

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (thumb) had surgery on his right thumb after the season but should be fine and ready to go for training camp, the preseason and the start of the 2024 campaign this fall. Slayton also said he's glad the offensive staff is staying mostly intact heading into next season. "It'll help all of us to have one less learning curve," Slayton said. The 27-year-old pass-catcher didn't miss a single game in 2023 and finished with a career-high-tying 50 catches on a team-high 79 targets for a career-high 770 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. Quarterback Daniel Jones only played in six games due to injuries, too, so there could be some more upside for Slayton as the team's No. 1 receiver in 2024 if he can stay healthy.
