Lions placed RB James Davis on the practice squad injured list. It took just one day for Davis to get injured. The Lions' backfield situation is as murky as ever with the Jerome Harrison trade getting voided and Jahvid Best's status completely unknown.

Lions signed RB James Davis to their practice squad. It's not good news for Jahvid Best owners. Although there is no word on the severity of Best's concussion, the Lions' now have four healthy backs available to them in Davis, Maurice Morris, Ronnie Brown and Keiland Williams. Davis won't be on the active roster unless further injuries strike.

Texans signed RB James Davis to their practice squad. Davis, 25, has proven a replacement-level talent since being drafted out of Clemson in 2009, but the Texans have become the new early-2000s Broncos as a team that can churn out rushing yardage schematically. Davis is also familiar with the stretch-zone running system after spending 2010 with Mike Shanahan.

Redskins waived RB James Davis. Davis seems likely to go unclaimed after walking out on the Redskins. The 2009 sixth-rounder would then be free to sign wherever he wants, though he's a longshot to make any team's final roster.

The Redskins will reportedly grant RB James Davis his release. Placed on the reserve/left squad list after taking exception to not making an appearance in the Redskins' preseason opener on August 12, Davis will be searching for his third team in two years. A sixth-round pick of the Browns in 2009, he's taken the ball just 75 yards on 28 career carries.

James Davis will not be back with the Redskins after walking out of training camp. Davis was reportedly upset after being left out of the rotation in the preseason opener, though the Redskins deny that he got into a shouting match with his position coach. Davis quickly fell out of favor with the Shanahans late last season after failing to impress the Eric Mangini staff in Cleveland. It's safe to cut bait in deep Dynasty leagues.

Redskins RB James Davis has reportedly walked out of training camp over dissatisfaction with his playing time and reps. He would've been better off just asking the Redskins to waive him, instead of coming off as a player with an artificially inflated opinion of himself. Davis is reportedly "still MIA," and his absence is considered unexcused. The third-year running back was buried on the depth chart even with Ryan Torain out.

Redskins RB James Davis' pass-blocking skills "left a lot to be desired" in a two-game audition late last season. Deep-roster Dynasty leaguers continue to cling to the hope that Davis will emerge as a fantasy factor, but he's now fallen out of favor with two coaching staffs in two years. After closing out last season as a game-day inactive, Davis has an uphill climb to make the Redskins roster in 2011.
