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
Rotowire
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: Missing Week 9
Rotowire
Slay (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
Slay was unable to practice all week after sustaining a groin injury in the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Bengals, so it's no surprise he won't suit up Sunday. The All-Pro corner has recorded 27 total tackles and five passes defended through seven appearances this season. Expect Kelee Ringo and Isaiah Rodgers to see increased work in Philadelphia's secondary with Slay sidelined in Week 9.

Eagles' Darius Slay: Doesn't practice Thursday
Rotowire
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.

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
Rotowire
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.

Eagles' Darius Slay: Back for minicamp
Rotowire
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.

Eagles' Darius Slay: Won't play Week 17
Rotowire
Slay (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Slay was held out of practice all week as he continues to nurse a knee issue, so it's no surprise that the 32-year-old cornerback will be inactive for the third game in a row Sunday. With Slay missing the Week 17 affair, expect both Kelee Ringo and Bradley Roby to see increased snaps in the Eagles' secondary.

Rotowire
Slay underwent arthroscopic knee surgery this week and is out for Monday's game against the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The five-time Pro Bowl cornerback is expected to return to action before the regular season concludes, per Schefter, though Slay could be at risk of missing additional time beyond Week 15. Through 12 appearances this season, Slay has recorded 57 tackles, 15 pass breakups and two interceptions.

Slay (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Philadelphia's walkthrough Wednesday.
Slay is still dealing with a knee injury that held him out of the loss to the Jets on Sunday. The 2013 second-round pick did not participate in practice at all last week, so the limited designation is still a step in the right direction for Slay as he looks to play this week versus Miami.

Eagles' Darius Slay: Sticking in Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Eagles and Slay reached an agreement on a two-year extension Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
In the lead up to the new league year, Slay's representatives were granted permission to pursue a trade for the 10-year pro. By Wednesday, there was an expectation that the Eagles would release Slay, but the two sides decided to talk, and now the cornerback is slated to stay with the franchise through the 2025 campaign. Over the course of three seasons in Philadelphia, Slay has racked up between 50 and 60 tackles each year while compiling seven interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 48 games.

Eagles' Darius Slay: Could be heading elsewhere?
Rotowire
Darius Slay's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has been granted permission by the Eagles to seek a trade for the five-time Pro-Bowler, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.
Slay is currently heading into the final year of his three-year, $50 million contract, and the hope for Philadelphia is that he'll remain with the team for at least one more campaign. The 32-year-old cornerback was certainly one of the top players at his position during last season's Super Bowl run with the Eagles, as he played in all 20 games and registered 67 tackles, 15 passes defensed and three interceptions in that span. Slay is in line to make a base salary of $17 million in 2023 with a cap hit of over $26 million, per Tim McManus of ESPN. Both parties have mutual interests when it comes to the veteran remaining with the team, but it's ultimately going to come down to whether or not they can agree on an extension.
