Darius Slayton injury: Core muscle surgery sidelines NY Giants wide receiver
Big Blue View • • sports
Key Points:
- New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton underwent surgery for a core muscle injury and will miss the remainder of spring workouts but is expected to be ready by training camp in late July.
- Malik Nabers, another likely starting outside receiver, is still recovering from ACL surgery with an uncertain timeline and is not expected to be ready for training camp.
- With Slayton and Nabers sidelined, free agents Darnell Mooney, Calvin Austin, and third-round pick Malachi Fields will have increased opportunities during spring practices.
- The absence of key receivers is a challenge for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, who will have fewer experienced targets in preparation.
- The Giants' wide receiver situation remains uncertain as a potential signing of Odell Beckham Jr. depends on mutual agreement, according to coach Brian Daboll.
