Hurts ankle against Dallas Slay (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Slay had been spending most of his time shadowing receiver Michael Gallup against the Ben DiNucci-led Cowboys. Nickell Robey-Coleman will likely take over opposite Avonte Maddox in the injury-riddled Eagles secondary.

Confirmed active Sunday Slay (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Slay was able to clear the concussion protocol Friday and finished the week as a full practice participant, but the Eagles still chose to list him as questionable for the Week 6 game as a precaution. With Slay experiencing no setbacks since Friday, he'll step back into his normal starting role. Expect Slay to shadow Baltimore's No. 1 receiver, Marquise Brown, for most of the afternoon.

Should play Sunday Slay (concussion), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, is expected to play, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Slay cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Friday, but that wasn't enough for him to avoid an injury designation heading into the weekend. The cornerback's limited practice time this week may have contributed to him being listed as questionable, but with no concussion symptoms having resurfaced since he cleared the protocol, Slay shouldn't face any restrictions Sunday. Expect him to shadow Baltimore's top wideout, Marquise Brown, for most of the day.

Officially questionable Slay (concussion) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact Slay managed to gain medical clearance Friday, but he'll need to stay symptom-free leading up to Sunday's contest to avoid re-entering the concussion protocol. A final word on the veteran cornerback's status may not come until the Eagles' inactives list is released ahead of Sunday's 1:00 P.M. ET kickoff.

Clears concussion protocol Slay cleared the concussion protocol Friday and is on track to suit up against the Ravens on Sunday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Slay looks on track to retake the field after missing just one game, though Smith notes that he'll need to remain symptom-free as Sunday's game approaches in order to remain out of the concussion protocol. The starting cornerback's presence would provide a notable boost for Philadelphia's secondary against Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Upgraded Thursday Slay (concussion) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact After missing practice completely Wednesday, this is a good sign for Slay, as he suffered a concussion in last week's loss to Pittsburgh. Although Slay appears to be trending in the right direction, he'll still have to gain clearance from an independent neurologist to join his teammates for Sunday's game against the Ravens. If Slay is forced to sit, it's likely that Cre'von LeBlanc or Nickell Robey-Coleman would assume his starting role at cornerback.

Still dealing with injury Slay (concussion) was a nonparticipant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Slay suffered a concussion in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Steelers, and, as evidenced by this news, he's yet to be cleared out of concussion protocol. It's likely the veteran will have to log at least limited practice time to have a shot at playing Sunday against the Ravens, so he has two more practices to gain clearance. If Slay is forced to miss game action, it's likely that Cre'von LeBlanc or Nickell Robey-Coleman would assume a starting role at corner back.

He'll look to progress through the league's protocol ahead of a Week 6 matchup against the Ravens, and his Wednesday practice capacity will reveal more about his chances of playing.

Exits in fourth quarter Slay suffered an undisclosed injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Steelers and didn't return, Marcus Hayes of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Coach Doug Pederson didn't have an update on Slay's status following the game, so it's possible he was held out as a precaution. We should have a better idea of what he's dealing with when the Eagles resume practicing Wednesday.
