Davis (shoulder) has no official timetable for his recovery, Dale Lolley of DKPittsburghSports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis landed on injured reserve in mid-September with a torn labrum in his right shoulder, and coach Mike Tomlin indicated there's been no discussion about him returning from IR since he "isn't close enough yet." The 26-year-old likely would fill a depth role in the secondary if he's able to return, with the acquisition of Minkah Fitzpatrick solidifying the safety position.

Davis (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a torn labrum, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
A day after Davis said he expected to play in Week 3 versus the 49ers, the Steelers sent him to IR. His injury will need extensive recovery, but the fourth-year pro is a solid candidate to return in Week 11. To help lessen the effect on defense, the Steelers traded a 2020 first-round pick to the Dolphins in exchange for Minkah Fitzpatrick, who is talented enough to possibly retain the starting job even when Davis returns.

Davis (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' full participation Thursday is a step up from his limited participation Wednesday. The 26-year-old missed Sunday's season opener due to an ankle injury. When healthy and active, Davis is expected to continue shouldering a starting role at free safety for the Steelers.

Davis (ankle) was officially listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Davis missed Sunday's game against the Patriots due to the injury, so the fact that he's back practicing in some fashion is a positive sign for his Week 2 availability. Expect the team to monitor his practice time throughout the week, but if he's unable to play for the second consecutive game, it will likely be Kameron Kelly who starts in his place.

Davis (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis has not practiced all week and looks like a long shot to suit up Week 1. He's nursing an ankle injury suffered during a preseason contest versus the Texans. Kameron Kelly and Jordan Dangerfield stand to see increased snaps as long as Davis remains sidelined.

Davis suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's preseason game against the Titans, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis exited the game with what was originally believed to be a thigh injury, but further inspection found it to be an ankle injury and he was held out of practice to start the week. Davis' ankle is still being looked at by team doctors, and the free safety is currently without a timetable for a recovery.
