he Eagles Pro Bowl CB has overcome an injury scare and is ready to go against the Buccaneers.
PHILADELPHIA - Darius Slay dodged the injury bullet last Sunday when 325-pound New Orleans offensive tackle Trevor Penning locked onto the six-time Pro Bowl cornerback and kept pushing.
“Hey, I don’t know who got taken out. I just know that I got taken out,” Slay said on Thursday before practice. “Of course. I don’t want nobody hurt at all, but at that time, I was thinking that I was the only one down on the ground. I don’t know what was going on.” At the moment, though, Slay thought he might be missing more time than the nine snaps he surrendered to second-year CB Kelee Ringo in a hard-fought 15-12 win for Philadelphia.
Next up for Slay, who was a full-go at practice Thursday, is the Bucs’ dynamic duo at receiver: the venerable Mike Evans and the always-productive Chris Godwin.
