The Chargers signed Davison off the Browns' practice squad Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Davison joined Cleveland's practice squad Oct. 12 after going unsigned ahead of the regular season. Now, the 30-year-old is likely set to make his 2022 debut with the Bolts after the team also placed defensive linemen Christian Covington (pectoral) and Otito Ogbonnia (kneecap) on injured reserve Wednesday. Davison recorded 30 tackles while playing 332 defensive snaps over 12 regular-season games for the Falcons last year, and he'll likely slot into a reserve role behind nose tackle Breiden Fehoko on Sunday against the Chargers.

Davison was signed to the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davison was the second of two moves the Browns made this week to shore up a leaky rush defense, which has been gashed for 440 yards the last two weeks in losses to the Falcons and Chargers. Cleveland earlier acquired linebacker Deion Jones from Atlanta, where he and Davison were teammates.

Davison was waived by the Falcons on Tuesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davison was waived with a failed physical designation, according to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus. The 29-year-old had one-year remaining on his three-year deal that he signed in 2020. Davison appeared in 12 games in 2021, recording 30 tackles (10 solo).

The Falcons activated Davison (undisclosed) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davison missed last week's game against Detroit while on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but he should be available for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against Buffalo. He's totaled three tackles (one solo) across his last three appearances.

Davison (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Davison's move to the COVID list will force him out of a matchup with the Lions on Sunday. In his absence, Ta'Quon Graham will likely see the bulk of the snaps at nose tackle, while Anthony Rush will also see an uptick in work.

Davison, who collected three tackles during Sunday's 44-27 loss to the Buccaneers, closed out the 2020 season with 36 tackles, two tackles for loss and half a sack over 16 games.

EDGE Analysis

Davison remained durable during his second season as a Falcon, just as he has been throughout his six-year NFL career. Since entering the league as a fifth-round draft choice of New Orleans in 2015, the Fresno State standout has missed just three of a possible 96 regular-season games. He has started 27 times the past two seasons for Atlanta, after earning 12-plus starts during each of his final three years with the Saints. Davison inherited a considerable workload of 32.5 defensive snaps per game this season, but his 36 tackles represent a step back from the career high of 55 he collected last year. He's under contract with Atlanta for two more seasons at an average cap hit of $4.8 million per year.

Davison (ankle) was a full participant during Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davison appears ready to play in Week 3 after he put in limited practice Wednesday. The 28-year-old has seen 75 defensive snaps for the Falcons this season, and now that he appears back to full health, he'll be expected to fill the same depth role for Sunday's contest against Chicago.

Davison (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The former Saint played two-thirds of the defensive snaps Week 1 against Seattle, but his workload was reduced to 41 percent Sunday during a loss to the Cowboys. Davison has since been designated with an ankle injury and his status for Sunday's showdown against the Bears remain uncertain. David Montgomery has gotten out to a hot start for Chicago with 146 rushing yards on 29 carries, while Tarik Cohen has plugged his way to 4.4 yards per carry on 12 attempts thus far on the season. Davison would factor in as a key piece to slowing those two backs down if he indeed ends up being active for the game.

Davison has been activated from the Falcons' reserve/COVID-19 list.

EDGE Analysis

Davison is thus slated to reprise his key role in Atlanta's run defense.The 27-year-old logged a career-high 55 tackles and one sack in 16 games (including 12 starts) in 2019.

The Falcons placed Davison (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Matthew Tabeek of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Davison and reserve quarterback Danny Etling became the fourth and fifth Falcons to be placed on the list after testing positive for COVID-19 or having recent contact with someone who tested positive. Once he's removed from the list, Davison will serve as a key cog on the interior of Atlanta's defensive line.
