Eagles star corner Darius Slay out for Seahawks game

Image Photo by Cooper Neill/Getty Images There will be no Darius Slay revenge game in Seattle. The Philadelphia Eagles will be without star cornerback Darius Slay for Monday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks. Slay, a 2017 All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection, underwent arthroscopic knee surgery earlier in the week, which explains why he wasn’t at practice. It looks like Slay will return before the end of the regular season, so it’s not a long-term blow to a struggling Eagles defense. Philadelphia’s secondary has not played at a particularly high level this season. While the Eagles still have 2022 All-Pro second-team selection James Bradberry, there’s a lot of inexperience below Slay on the depth chart. Georgia rookie Kelee Ringo, Alabama rookie Eli Ricks, and second-year ex-Crimson Tide starter Josh Jobe are the other notable options to replace Slay. You may recall that the last time Slay played the Seahawks, DK Metcalf thoroughly embarrassed one of the league’s best corners to the tune of 7 catches for 141 yards when Slay was the primary defender. The Slay vs. Metcalf rematch will not be happening on Monday. Oh yeah, and there won’t be any Big Dom on the sidelines, either. I'm told #Eagles security chief Dom DiSandro is banned from the sideline for the remainder of the regular season.— Rob Maaddi (@RobMaaddi) December 16, 2023
