Davis (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis suffered a concussion in the second half of this past Sunday's wild-card win against the Broncos. Since then, he logged a limited walkthrough Wednesday and maintained that activity level one day later, albeit while donning a red non-contact jersey, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. In the end, Davis will be subject to an examination from an independent neurologist in order to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Ravens.

Davis (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
EDGE Analysis
Though Davis remains in the five-step concussion protocol, he's apparently made enough progress since suffering the head injury in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Broncos in the wild-card round to take part in non-contact portions of practice. He'll likely need to be cleared for contact by Friday's practice in addition to receiving clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol. If Davis isn't available for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Ravens, Ty Johnson and practice-squad member Frank Gore (if elevated) would be the available depth options behind lead back James Cook.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Davis remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The concussion forced Davis out of Sunday's wild-card win over the Broncos. If Davis is unable to gain clearance ahead of this Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Ravens, Ty Johnson would be in line to see added snaps behind top back James Cook.

Davis has been diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out for the rest of Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was hit in the head by Brandon Jones while attempting to haul in a pass from Josh Allen in the third quarter, which resulted in an unnecessary roughness penalty on Jones. Davis was down on the field for an extended period of time, but he did manage to walk to the sidelines before being taken to the locker room. Ty Johnson will serve as the Bills' backup running back behind James Cook for the rest of Sunday's game due to Davis' injury. If Buffalo wins Sunday, Davis would have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in the divisional round.

Davis is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit from the contest, Davis carried once for three yards. In his absence, James Cook and Ty Johnson are left to handle Buffalo's backfield duties versus Denver.

Davis carried the ball 15 times for 64 yards and caught two of three targets for one yard and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
With the Bills resting most of their key personnel, in whole or in part, Davis wound up seeing the larger portion of a backfield timeshare with James Cook and turned the extra touches into solid production, which included a two-yard TD from Mitchell Trubisky in the second quarter. Davis has had a respectable rookie campaign, amassing 631 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns (three rushing, three receiving) over 17 regular-season games, but he should take a back seat to Cook once again when Buffalo begins its playoff run next weekend at home against Denver.

Davis rushed six times for nine yards and caught his lone target for four yards in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played just 16 of the Bills 70 offensive snaps in Sunday's contest, finishing behind fellow running backs James Cook and Ty Johnson in playing time. Unfortunately for the rookie, he was unable to produce noteworthy fantasy numbers with his seven touches. With Buffalo clinching the No. 2 seed, however, it's possible that Davis could see a major uptick in usage in Week 18 if the Bills decide to rest their starters. This would give the Kentucky product a chance to see an expanded role in place of Cook, but he would likely split work with Johnson in this scenario. Up next for the Bills is a Week 18 matchup with the Patriots.

Davis rushed five times for 12 yards and caught his lone target for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was on the field for just 14 of the Bills' 59 offensive snaps, the fewest of any Buffalo running back behind Ty Johnson (23) and James Cook (21). Barring an injury to either Cook or Johnson, Davis will continue to be an unreliable fantasy option going forward. The Bills will host the Jets in Week 17.

Davis rushed seven times for 15 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
Davis scored his second receiving touchdown of the 2024 campaign in Week 15, bringing him to five total touchdowns so far this season. The rookie running back played just 18 of the Bills 70 offensive snaps, but he was able to make the most of his limited opportunities in the contest. Going forward, Davis is likely to continue to share playing time with Ty Johnson behind starter James Cook. For that reason, Davis remains an unreliable fantasy option barring an injury to Cook. The Bills host the Patriots in Week 16.

Davis failed to record a single rush or target in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Davis was not involved in the Bills' offensive attack Sunday, failing to record a single rush for just the second time all season. The rookie running back played just 13 of the Bills' 60 offensive snaps in the contest, behind both James Cook (27) and Ty Johnson (21). Despite the abysmal performance, Davis remains a valuable insurance policy in the event Cook misses time down the stretch. The 25-year-old Kentucky product will look to bounce back in Week 15 when the Bills visit the Lions.
