Darius Slayton Injury News
View AllDarius Slayton Had Core-Muscle Surgery
Giants WR Darius Slayton recently underwent surgery to address a core-muscle injury, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Slayton will miss spring workouts but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, Garafolo adds.
Confirmed: ACL Tear Ends Malik Nabers' Season
Further testing has confirmed the fear that Giants WR Malik Nabers tore his right ACL in Sunday's win over the Chargers. He'll need surgery and miss the rest of the season. The timing should at least help his chances of being ready for the start of the 2026 season. We'll obviously watch for further details on that front and track his return progress.
Update: Nabers also suffered a partially torn lateral meniscus in his right knee, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. But that's not expected to prolong Nabers' rehab.
Darius Slayton In Concussion Protocol
Giants WR Darius Slayton sustained a concussion in the Week 9 loss to the Commanders. It's his second concussion of the season, with the first coming in the opener. We'll track Slayton's progress through the protocol this coming week, but consider him no better than 50/50 to play vs. the Panthers next Sunday morning in Germany.
