The New York Giants release wide receiver Darius Slayton just days before the team’s season opener, ending his run on the roster heading into Week 1.
According to reporting, Slayton initially makes New York’s 53-man roster after surviving the final round of cuts. However, the team later moves on from him before the opener, meaning he is not available for the first regular-season game.
Both outlets describe the move as a late roster change occurring after Slayton had previously secured a spot during the team’s initial trimming process. Differences across the sources are limited to wording, with both emphasizing that Slayton had been on the final roster but does not reach Week 1.
