Yahoo Sports NFL on Darius Slayton

Slayton cut by Giants after hernia surgery; outperformed by Nabers, Beckham, Mooney.

Cut by the New York Giants after missing the entire spring following double sports hernia surgery; had a quiet summer and admitted he was not running at 100% despite feeling 'pretty good.' John Harbaugh's meritocracy approach resulted in Slayton's release as his play did not warrant him being ahead of other wide receivers on the roster. Malik Nabers, Malachi Fields, Odell Beckham Jr., Darnell Mooney, and practice squad receivers Braxton Berrios and Dalen Cambre were all better than Slayton this summer. Slayton was ticketed for the game-day inactive list for the season-opening game against Dallas.
