Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Darius Slay exited Sunday night’s game against the host Los Angeles Chargers due to a concussion.
Slay was injured when he banged heads with teammate Kyle Dugger while making a tackle on Chargers running back Kimani Vidal in the second quarter. Slay was walked off the field by trainers with 11:36 left in the quarter.
The 34-year-old Slay was initially termed questionable to return before being ruled out at the outset of the third quarter.
Slay had three tackles before departing. The six-time Pro Bowler and 2017 first-team All-Pro is in his 13th NFL season and first with the Steelers.
The Detroit Lions selected him in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He played for the Lions (2013-19) and Philadelphia Eagles (2020-24) before signing with the Steelers as a free agent in March.
