Steelers' Darius Slay Ruled Out of SNF vs. Chargers With Concussion

His status for the Colts game depends on clearing the NFL concussion protocol.

Overview

  • Slay left in the second quarter after a collision on a run play and was later ruled out for the night.
  • PennLive reported the contact came from teammate Kyle Dugger, after which Slay went to the medical tent and then the locker room.
  • James Pierre took over at cornerback following Slay’s exit.
  • Los Angeles continued to target single coverage and intermediate routes, pressing a Pittsburgh secondary already stretched by recent role changes.
  • The veteran has dealt with a finger, shoulder, and calf issues this season without missing games, but concussion clearance for next week remains uncertain.
