Davis suffered a season-ending knee injury during OTAs and was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis, a 2017 first-round pick, signed a one-year deal with the Giants this offseason and was expected to compete for a depth role at inside linebacker during training camp. The 26-year-old recorded 196 tackles and eight sacks over his first two NFL campaigns, but he's struggled to stay healthy and will have appeared in just 13 games over three seasons by the start of 2024.

The Giants placed Davis (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with New York. The 2017 first-round pick signed a one-year deal with the Giants in March and was expected to compete for a depth role at inside linebacker during training camp.

Davis underwent an undisclosed procedure recently and is considered out indefinitely for the time being, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis, who signed a one-year deal with the Giants in March, was expected to contend for a depth role at inside linebacker heading during training camp, but his status is now up in the air following his procedure. More information on his health will likely be provided once the Giants begin workouts later this month.

Davis re-signed with the Giants on Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was signed off the Lions' practice squad in late December and played in one regular season game for New York, while also appearing three times for the Lions. In his four contests last season, he totaled 14 tackles (seven solo) and a pass defended. He'll work to earn a regular role in the Giants' linebacker rotation in 2023.

Davis racked up 10 tackles (six solo), including a half-sack, in a loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants signed Davis off Detroit's practice squad at the end of December, and he saw his first action with New York as a result of the team resting most of its starters Sunday. The veteran made the most of the opportunity, tying for the team lead in stops and combining with Nick McCloud on a first-quarter sack of Jalen Hurts. It's uncertain how much New York plans to use Davis moving forward, but given his strong performance Week 18, it's possible he'll at least be active next weekend for the team's wild-card game against Minnesota.

Davis was released by the Lions on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis spent the first four seasons of his career with Detroit, leading him to re-sign with the team this offseason after he recorded 25 tackles over nine games with the Jets last year. However, the 2021 first-round pick appears to have lost his spot at inside linebacker to rookie sixth-rounder Malcolm Rodriguez this preseason. Davis likely will rely on both his defensive and special-teams value when looking for a new landing spot heading into the regular season.

Davis signed a one-year deal with the Lions on Friday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Lions before signing a one-year, $5.5 million deal with the Jets ahead of the 2021 campaign. However, he failed to live up to the deal, as an ankle injury sidelined him for the first six weeks of the season. Back with Detroit, he isn't guaranteed a significant defensive role, but Davis' past efforts have drawn the attention of head coach Dan Campbell, and he'll definitely have an opportunity to compete for a sizable role during training camp.

The Jets have placed Davis on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Apparently Davis' placement on the list is the result of a positive test per Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. His return to the Jets' active roster will depend on him getting cleared from the league's health & safety protocols.

Davis recorded eight tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has had an ineffective and injury-riddled season for the Jets, but this was his best game wearing green and white. He doubled his previous season high in tackles, which was four against the Saints in Week 14.

Davis (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has yet to play this season but will immediately assume a starting role at linebacker. Quincy Williams may see his playing time take a hit as a result.
