Despite his struggles, everybody seems to agree that Mike Tomlin will insert Darius Slay back into the starting lineup. Though one of the greatest cornerbacks of his generation, he has clearly lost something in recent years. There’s a reason the Eagles cut him this offseason, and a reason he signed for only $10 million.
“It certainly sounds like if he’s cleared, Slay is gonna step back in. I think it’s out of deference to what Darius Slay has done throughout his career”, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said about Tomlin’s recent comments, saying that Slay will play once he clears the concussion protocol.
