Davis was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

EDGE Analysis

Davis played all 67 defensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Raiders but apparently didn't escape the game unscathed. The specifics of the injury remain unclear, but the 25-year-old will likely need to practice fully by Friday if he is to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Davis led the defense with nine tackles (all solo) during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers are on a four-game winning streak, during which they have held opponents to an average of 18 points per game. That could change in Week 10 against the Panthers, who have a three-game winning streak of their own, averaging 33 points per game over that span.

Davis logged one tackle during Saturday's preseason game against the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

Davis started at free safety and showed no signs of the groin injury he dealt with early on in training camp. Having escaped the exhibition without any other injuries of note, Davis seems poised to enter the 2018 campaign in full health -- and not to mention very worthy of IDP consideration after logging 92 tackles and eight pass breakups in 16 games last year.

Davis exited Sunday's practice early due to a groin injury, Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The extent of Davis' injury is not yet known. If he is forced to miss extended action, look for rookie Terrell Edmunds to see additional starting reps at safety alongside Morgan Burnett. Davis had a strong year in 2017, recording 92 tackles, three interceptions, a forced fumble, and a sack, so his starting position shouldn't be in any danger as long as he can get healthy during the training camp window.

Davis is anticipating a move to free safety ahead of the upcoming season, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers have now mentioned that both Davis and Morgan Burnett have been experimenting at free safety, so it appears one of the two will be playing out of their normal position. Either way, Davis is going to prepare for both positions, which should give Pittsburgh some added flexibility in the secondary. Davis started all 16 games he played in last year, tallying 92 tackles, three interceptions, a forced fumble and a sack. He should remain with the top unit in 2018, though there could be a slight adjustment period if he transitions to free safety as expected.

Davis totaled 12 tackles (nine solo) in Sunday's 45-42 AFC divisional round loss to Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

Davis matched his career-best for tackles in a game, but the defense had its worst outing at the worst time. Jacksonville scored 45 points, the most by an opponent all season, and the most since 2013 (New England, 55).

Davis, who recorded three tackles (two solo), including a sack and an interception in Sunday's win over the Browns, finishes up the 2017 season with 92 tackles (71 solo), including the one sack, a forced fumble and three interceptions, playing in all 16 games.

EDGE Analysis

Davis led the team in tackles in just his second season in the league. The Pittsburgh defense has undergone a youth movement in the past few years, and finished as the fifth best in the league in terms of yards allowed.

Davis recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) in Pittsburgh's 27-24 loss to New England on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

For the second straight game, both without Ryan Shazier (spine), Davis led the defense in tackles. Although he has been a dominating force in those two games, the Steelers would prefer that the leading tackler not be part of their secondary. They'll look to get back to their winning ways in Week 15 against the struggling Texans.

Davis had a team-high 12 tackles (eight solo) and an interception in Pittsburgh's 39-38 win over Baltimore on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The interception was his second of the season, and third of his career. Davis was one of the few standouts on what was otherwise a struggling defense. Playing without Ryan Shazier (spine) the Steelers, which had held opponents an average of 17.8 PPG this season, allowed the most by an opposing team since Week 12 of the 2015 season. The will need a much stronger showing when they face the Patriots, in what could decide home field advantage in the AFC playoffs, in Week 15.

Davis had three tackles (two solo) and an interception in Thursday's 40-17 win over the Titans.

EDGE Analysis

The defense came up with huge plays all game, including four interceptions despite injuries to two starters in the secondary. They also sacked Titans' quarterback Marcus Mariota five times.
