NFL
Slay suffered a concussion last week against the Saints but was able to move through the NFL’s concussion protocol quickly. He had already been cleared by Friday’s practice.
After scoring three touchdowns in four weeks, the Eagles are definitely happy to have Big Play Slay ready for this division game.
Safety Jared Mayden, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, is officially active. This will be his first game action for the Eagles this season. The Eagles added Mayden, who went undrafted out of Alabama last year, to their practice squad in late October.
Meanwhile, the Giants are without several key offensive weapons. Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney and Kyle Rudolph are all inactive.
