Colts release wide receiver Darius Slayton

Indianapolis made a Friday roster move, parting ways with wide receiver Darius Slayton after signing him in late September.

By The Apex Times Newsroom1 min readAI-assisted Apex article

The Indianapolis Colts released wide receiver Darius Slayton on Friday, the team announced.

Slayton (6-foot-1, 198 pounds) was signed by Indianapolis as a free agent on September 22, 2026.

In his NFL career, Slayton has played 106 games with 78 starts across three seasons with the New York Giants (2019-25) and time with the Colts in 2026. He has recorded 296 receptions for 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns.

Why It Matters

  • The move changes Indianapolis’ receiving corps depth and roster composition as the season progresses.
  • Because Slayton was signed only in late September, the release ends a short Colts tenure.
  • The Colts now have an open spot in their wide receiver group for a different player to compete for targets.
