Davidson (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson played just six snaps in the Giants' Week 16 loss to the Vikings and was unable to practice all week heading into Sunday's game against the Raiders. In a rotational role, the 28-year-old accounted for nine tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup. In Davidson's absence, Darius Alexander will likely have a larger role on the defensive line.

Davidson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson was held out of practice all week due to an illness, but he has recovered enough to be cleared to play Sunday. He has served in a rotational role on the Giants' defensive line this season, but he could see more snaps against Washington due to the absence of Rakeem Nunez-Roches (ankle).

Davidson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson drew the questionable tag for Week 8 after upgrading from a DNP to a limited practice Friday, and he's been cleared to play after going through pregame warmups. He's operated in a rotational role on the defensive line this season and has accumulated three solo tackles through seven regular-season games.

Davidson (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, if the 28-year-old is unable to suit up in Week 8, expect Darius Alexander to see increased defensive snaps as a reserve defensive lineman.

Davidson (ankle) did not practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson was limited in practice Wednesday, but he may have now suffered a setback. That said, Davidson managed to suit up Week 7 despite logging a FP-DNP-LP practice slate while listed with a knee injury, so if he's able to get back to at least limited activity levels Friday he could still gain clearance for Sunday's divisional matchup at Philadelphia.

Davidson (knee) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging a DNP at Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Davidson is set to face the Broncos in Week 7. The Arizona State product has logged 106 defensive snaps over the Giants' first six games this season, tallying three total tackles. He's expected to serve as New York's top reserve nose tackle Sunday, playing behind Dexter Lawrence.

Davidson (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson logged a full practice Wednesday, but he was unable to take the practice field the following day as he tries to recover from a knee injury sustained in last Thursday's Week 6 win over the Eagles. Friday's practice participation level should provide some insight on Davidson's potential availability for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Davidson did not appear on the Giants' injury report Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson hurt his knee during the Giants' Week 6 win over the Eagles, but he doesn't appear to be in line for any additional missed time. He should return to a rotational role along the defensive line in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos.

Davidson is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Eagles due to a knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davidson was on the field for a series of plays near the goal line, during which the Eagles ran four consecutive tush pushes. The final play ended in a touchdown and it also appeared to be when Davidson suffered his injury. He was carted to the locker room, so his return should be in doubt despite the official designation.
