# Darius Slayton

NFL player. Position: **WR**. Team: **NYG**.

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** WR (Wide Receiver)
- **Team:** NYG (New York Giants)

## 2026 Outlook

Secondary receiver for the Giants who underwent offseason surgery and is expected to be available by training camp. In a depleted Giants WR room (Nabers recovering from knee surgery, other depth casualties), Slayton is one of the few healthy options. Giants have added significant receiver depth through free agency and the draft as insurance, but Slayton's return to health is important for depth behind Nabers.

## Role / Depth Chart

Secondary WR3 / depth piece in Giants receiving corps. With Malik Nabers sidelined and Gunner Olszewski lost to torn Achilles, Slayton is among the team's only established healthy receiver options heading into training camp.

## Injury Status

Underwent surgery to repair a core muscle in the offseason, later reclassified as a sports hernia procedure. Did not participate in drills at OTAs (May 27-June 4) or mandatory minicamp (June 9-10). Giants are saying he will be ready by training camp in late July, though confirmation of full health will come when he returns to practice.
