Davis (hamstring) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Though he has yet to be freed of restrictions through two practices this week, Davis appeared confident about the health of his hamstring Wednesday, stating that he'd be "fine" for the Week 2 matchup with the Texans, per Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site. Davis' full participation in practice Friday would offer more optimism about his outlook heading into the weekend, but the Titans' coaching staff hasn't expressed any outward concern about the wideout's availability for Sunday.

Davis, who was limited at practice Wednesday, since noted, "I'm good. My hamstring is fine," Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Based on that, we'd expect the wideout to be a go Sunday against the Texans, though of course that notion would be best supported by a return to a full practice on Davis' part, either Thursday or Friday.

Davis' limited participation Wednesday was a result of the Titans helping him manage an old hamstring issue, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off a monster 13-target, six-catch Week 1 for the Titans, it's certainly good news that Davis isn't dealing with a new issue. Given that it's just a management of an old injury, there's a better than not chance that the second-year wideout will be available when the team takes the field Sunday. It's still worth monitoring his practice participation and his final designation on Friday's injury report to ensure that's the case.

Davis (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis caught six passes on 13 targets in Sunday's loss to the Dolphins (both team-highs), en route to recording 62 receiving yards. It's unclear if his limitations Wednesday were precautionary or indicative of an issue that could impact his Week 2 status. If Davis limited or out this weekend against the Texans, added opportunities would be available for Rishard Matthews, Tajae Sharpe and Taywan Taylor.

Davis was targeted a team-high 13 times in Sunday's 27-20, Week 1 loss to Miami. He secured six of those targets for 62 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was Tennessee's go-to guy through the air, as no other Titan had more than eight targets and none of the team's other wide receivers garnered more than three. The 2017 first-rounder wasn't very efficient given his volume, and Davis' fantasy stock also potentially took a major hit when starting quarterback Marcus Mariota left the contest early in the third quarter with an elbow injury. If Mariota's forced to miss time, it will be hard to get excited about Davis with Blaine Gabbert throwing him the ball.

Davis won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Vikings, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although Davis drew plaudits for his rapport with Marcus Mariota during the offseason and into training camp, the pair were unable to hook up on three targets in two preseason games. Davis is expected to step into the role of Titans No. 1 receiver this season, especially with Rishard Matthews only coming off the PUP list Sunday due to a torn meniscus. Davis will be looking to improve upon a 34-375-0 line on 65 targets from his rookie year when he and his teammates take the field in the regular-season opener Sunday, Sept. 9 in Miami.

Davis was targeted twice but did not record a reception during Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Davis looked to be open on both of his "targets," but the receiver also didn't seem to be on the same page as quarterback Marcus Mariota, as the two passes that came his way were either airmailed or brutally underthrown. The duo drew rave reviews during training camp practices, though, so it's possible Saturday's performance was simply a couple of bad plays that the two were unable to make up for before Titans starters were pulled in the second quarter. With the first-stringers unlikely to see any action in Thursday's preseason finale against the Vikings, we likely won't be seeing Davis again until Tennessee's regular-season opener against the Dolphins on Sept. 9.

Davis, who has impressed the Titans coaching staff this summer, has been used "across the formation" in practices, ESPN's Turron Davenport reports.
EDGE Analysis
Injuries slowed Davis as a rookie last season, but the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft did finish up on a positive note with five catches for 63 yards and two TDs against the Patriots in the divisional round of the playoffs. Now healthy, the 6-foot-3, 209-pounder is poised to open the season as the Titans' top wideout, and offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur is looking forward to moving Davis around the field in order to gain favorable matchups. For the time being, Taywan Taylor slots in the team's No. 2 receiver, but Rishard Matthews (undisclosed) figures to work his way back into the mix once he returns to practice.

Davis (undisclosed) returned to practice Saturday after sitting out Thursday's preseason contest against the Packers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was kept to the sideline during Thursday's preseason opener, having missed practice earlier in the week due to an undisclosed injury. Although the nature of the injury remains unknown, the severity of his issue appears to be minor as the Titans simply chose not to rush him back into game action with fellow starting wide receiver Rishard Matthews (undisclosed) still on the PUP list. Davis will look to make his preseason debut next Saturday against the Buccaneers.

Davis (undisclosed) didn't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Packers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis returned to practice Tuesday after a one-day absence, but it now seems he isn't quite back at 100 percent, considering the Titans played the vast majority of their starters in Thursday's game. With no indication of a serious injury, Davis could make his 2018 debut in next Saturday's exhibition against Tampa Bay. The Titans' larger concern is fellow starting wideout Rishard Matthews, who remains on the PUP list with an undisclosed injury.
