The Giants announced Tuesday that Davis has been placed on the reserve/retired list.

EDGE Analysis

Davis' impressive career began with him as a UDFA back in 2014, but by 2016 he had carved out what would become a four-year starting role in Denver. During Davis' time with the Broncos, he was part of the Super Bowl 50 championship team. The inside linebacker also led Denver in tackles from 2018-19.

Davis signed a contract with the Giants on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis racked up 35 total tackles in 11 games for Minnesota last year but remained unsigned throughout the offseason. He'll provide veteran depth in camp for New York while competing for a roster spot.

Davis ended his 2020 season generating 35 tackles (16 solo) and one sack in 11 games.

EDGE Analysis

After the Broncos cut him loose at the end of training camp, Davis wasn't called upon until the Vikings had a need for linebacker depth in late September. Aside from a midseason stretch on the reserve/COVID-19 list, he served primarily on special teams until Eric Kendricks injured his calf during pregame warmups Week 13. Over the last five games, Davis appeared in four of them, notching most of his tackles (29) on the season. As an unrestricted free agent this offseason, he'll look for a similar gig to what he had down the stretch.

Davis (ribs) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Davis logged limited practice sessions earlier in the week, but he'll be available Sunday to provide depth at linebacker during Eric Kendricks' (calf) continued absence.

Davis (ribs) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

This is a meaningful step in the right direction after Davis missed every practice last week. The 28-year-old linebacker could return to action for the season finale against the Lions; otherwise, Ryan Connelly likely will step in at weak-side linebacker.

Davis (ribs) is inactive for Friday's Christmas Day clash against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Davis did not practice at all this week, so his inability to take the field Friday does not come as a surprise. Minnesota's linebacker corps will be perilously thin with Troy Dye (concussion/hamstring) and Eric Kendricks (calf) also inactive.

Davis (ribs) did not practice this week and is listed as doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has been filling in for Eric Kendricks (calf) -- who will remain sidellned this week -- but appears unlikely to play following three consecutive DNPs. That would leave the Vikings' linebacker corps in a tough spot against Alvin Kamara and the Saints on Christmas Day.

Davis (ribs) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis will only have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice reps before the Vikings tag him with an injury designation. With Eric Kendricks (calf) also still not practicing, Minnesota's linebacker corps could be left deeply depleted heading into a Christmas Day matchup against the Saints if Davis is forced to miss time.

Davis made 11 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

With Eric Kendricks (calf) being ruled out moments before kickoff, Davis started Week 13 and played every snap for the first time this year. The 28-year-old linebacker came through on the increased opportunity, ringing up double-digit stops for the first time this season. Kendricks could sit out again in the Week 14 showdown against Tampa Bay, making Davis a solid substitute in IDP fantasy formats.

Davis (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old tested positive for COVID-19 in late October and has since been on the reserve list, but he's been cleared to rejoin the active roster. Davis was filling a rotational role at linebacker and should reclaim those snaps.
