Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has started in 28 games for the Commanders over the last two seasons, but he did not start in Week 1 against the Buccaneers and he finished the contest with three tackles (two solo) while playing just 16 snaps (13 on defense, three on special teams). With Washington going to a 3-4 scheme under head coach Dan Quinn, Davis doesn't appear to have an established role in the defense to start the regular season. The 2021 first-round pick's next chance to suit up is Week 3 against the Bengals on Sept. 23.

Coach Dan Quinn said Thursday the Commanders are providing Davis (shoulder) an opportunity to compete for edge-rusher snaps this offseason, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Quinn said "we're trying to really push [Davis] specifically on the versatility," and that "you'll see him working some with the defensive line, you'll see him working with [pass rush specialist] Ryan Kerrigan on the side." Davis is entering a contract season after having his fifth-year option declined, and the additions of Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu raise questions about the extent of his role. Also contributing as a pass rusher on at least a rotational basis would help boost Davis' fantasy ceiling in IDP formats. He underwent season-ending shoulder surgery back in December, but it appears that Davis has already resumed taking reps at spring practices.

The Commanders are declining the fifth-year option on Davis' (shoulder) rookie contract, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Washington took Davis with the 19th pick in the 2021 Draft, and while he's started 36 of 45 games through three seasons, his elite athleticism (4.47 40, 42-inch vertical) hasn't translated to elite performance. The 25-year-old likely will be a starter again in 2024 under new coach Dan Quinn, but it won't come as any surprise if this ends up being Davis' final year in Washington. He had season-ending shoulder surgery in December, potentially impacting his participation in spring practices.

Davis is expected to be healthy for training camp after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in December, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis finished his third season with 89 tackles (50 solo), including three sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. The Kentucky product should be back to full health by training camp and heads into 2024 with one year remaining on his contract, as well as a fifth-year option the Commanders have until May 2 to exercise.

The Commanders placed Davis (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davis is set to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery after sustaining the injury in Week 13 against the Dolphins. The 2021 first-round pick out of Kentucky will finish the season with 89 tackles (50 solo), including three sacks, one interception and two forced fumbles in 13 games.

Davis will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery for an injury suffered during a Week 13 loss to the Dolphins, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davis was on pace to notch career-best totals across the board in his third NFL season, but unfortunately, for the Kentucky product, his 2023 campaign will end early. He'll finish the year with 13 games played, 89 tackles (50 solo), three sacks, four passes defended, an interception and two forced fumbles. He'll now turn his attention toward his recovery and being ready for the 2024 campaign.

Davis recorded eight tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 45-15 loss versus the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Davis managed to tally seven-plus total tackles for the sixth time in his last eight games in Week 13. He's on pace for a career season in that category, making him a viable IDP option for Week 15 after the Commanders' bye in Week 14.

Davis recorded seven tackles (five solo) including a sack in Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Davis sidestepped Saquon Barkley to get home on a blitz for his third sack of the season in Week 11, adding to a solid fantasy performance. He's on pace for his second straight 100-plus tackle year, making him a reasonable IDP consideration heading into Thursday at Dallas.

Davis logged 11 tackles (six solo) in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks.

EDGE Analysis

Davis' tackle tally was enough for a game-high and tied his highest total of the season. He played all 74 defensive snaps, which marked his third consecutive game doing so. The linebacker will look to carry the momentum of his productive play into Washington's Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

Davis had nine tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Davis has seen his defensive snap share steadily climb over the course of the season and he's played every single defensive snap in each of the last two games. He's now third on the team with 57 total tackles behind safety Kamren Curl (71) and linebacker Cody Barton (61).
