Slay recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed during Sunday's 22-16 win versus the Panthers.
Despite having missed two games due to injury this season, Slay now has 10 pass breakups on the year through Week 14. He'll look to add to that total in Week 15, though he might not have quite as many opportunities to do so versus the run-heavy Steelers.

Eagles' Darius Slay: Estimated as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Slay (concussion) was estimated as a limited participant in Wednesday's walkthrough.
Slay was diagnosed with a concussion in Week 12 against the Rams, and he wasn't cleared in time for this past Sunday's game against the Ravens. Slay would need to clear the league's five step concussion protocols in order to play against the Panthers on Sunday, and a full practice session over the next two days would be a step in the right direction for the veteran corner.

Rotowire

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.

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.

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.
