Former New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has been released by the Indianapolis Colts, the team announced Friday morning.
After seven seasons with the Giants, the 2019 fifth-round selection, was released by the team a week before the season began.
Slayton signed with the Colts, where his former Giants teammate Daniel Jones is the starting quarterback, on Sept. 22. Indianapolis had hoped Slayton could provide a deep threat after an injury to Alec Pierce. That never materialized. The 29-year-old never played a snap for the Colts.
Slayton suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the Colts’ lineup in Week 5. Now, he is again looking for a new team.
