Summary

Colts wide receiver Darius Slayton, signed to fill in for Alec Pierce, has yet to play in a game since joining the team two weeks ago. Slayton expressed that while he initially felt ready to participate, the coaching staff opted for a cautious approach. He has participated in practices and is focused on acclimating to the team's terminology and situational demands. With the Colts having managed wins without him, the urgency for his involvement remains, especially as the offense struggles with turnovers.
