  • Giants' Jarrad Davis: Stays put in New York

    Davis re-signed with the Giants on Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Davis was signed off the Lions' practice squad in late December and played in one regular season game for New York. In his four contests last season -- three of which came with Detroit -- Davis totaled 14 tackles (seven solo) and a pass breakups. He'll work to earn a regular role in the Giants' linebacker rotation in 2023.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Back with Detroit

    Davis signed a one-year deal with the Lions on Friday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports. Davis spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Lions before signing a one-year, $5.5 million contract with the Jets ahead of the 2021 campaign. However, he failed to live up to the deal, as an ankle injury sidelined him for the first six weeks of the season. Back with Detroit, he isn't guaranteed a significant defensive role, but Davis' past efforts have drawn the attention of head coach Dan Campbell, and he'll definitely have an opportunity to compete for a sizable role during training camp.

  • Jets' Jarrad Davis: Activated from IR

    Davis (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports. Davis has yet to play this season but will immediately assume a starting role at linebacker. Quincy Williams may see his playing time take a hit as a result.

  • Jets' Jarrad Davis: Will be active Sunday

    Davis (ankle) will be activated off injured reserve for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Davis will make his regular-season debut Sunday after suffering an ankle injury during the preseason that landed him on IR. Cimini reports that the 25-year-old linebacker will likely draw the start against the Bengals and play the majority of the snaps. Davis signed a one-year deal with the Jets this offseason after registering 46 tackles and two forced fumbles for the Lions during the 2020 campaign.

  • Jets' Jarrad Davis: Designated to return

    Davis (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports. The linebacker has been on IR since Sept. 1 after suffering the ankle injury in the preseason against the Packers. The team will have 21 days to either activate him or place him back on IR for the remainder of the season. Davis played in 14 games for the Lions -- logging 46 tackles, 0.5 sacks and two forced fumbles -- last year before signing with the Jets this offseason.

  • Jets' Jarrad Davis: Could return Week 7

    Coach Robert Saleh hopes Davis (ankle) will be able to return from injured reserve following the Jets' Week 6 bye, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports. Davis started the season on injured reserve after suffering the ankle injury during the preseason, and he may be able to return after missing the first five games of the campaign. The 25-year-old is expected to start alongside C.J. Mosley at linebacker once healthy, which would relegate fill-in starter Quincy Williams to a rotational role.

  • Jets' Jarrad Davis: Lands on IR

    The Jets placed Davis (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday. Davis will be eligible to return after Week 3, but coach Robert Saleh has already declared Week 7 as the most likely return date. The Jets hope the 26-year-old can bounce back to the type of the player he was in his first two seasons in the league when he racked up 196 tackles between the 2017 and 2018 campaigns.

  • Jets' Jarrad Davis: Signs one-year deal with Jets

    Davis agreed to a one-year, $7 million contract with the Jets on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. After taking the league by storm with 196 tackles and eight sacks in 30 games over his first two seasons, Davis has regressed in the past two campaigns, tacking on just 109 tackles and 2.5 sacks in 25 appearances. The Jets are hoping a change of scenery will help the Lions' 2017 first-round pick rediscover the success he had to begin his career.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Falters in contract year

    Davis recorded 46 tackles, a half-sack and two forced fumbles over 14 games in 2020. It's been quite a tumble for the 2017 first-round pick who appeared to be the Lions' middle linebacker of the future as recently as 2018. After a high-ankle sprain derailed Davis's 2019 campaign, the 2020 season brought him a new defensive coordinator and position coach, not to mention a new head coach and GM by season's end. The latter changes helped lead Davis to see less than 40 percent of the defensive snaps in 10 of 14 games in 2020, which, in turn, ultimately led to career lows across the board. With his fifth-year option having already been declined, Davis will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Produces nine tackles

    Davis made nine tackles (four solo) in Saturday's 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers. Davis made his fourth start of the season, but he only played 51 percent of the snaps on defense. Nevertheless, the 2017 first-round pick posted a season high in tackles, bringing his 2020 total to 44 stops. Whether he starts in Week 17 against the Vikings likely depends on if Jamie Collins (neck) is cleared to play.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Questionable with knee injury

    Davis (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Davis was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week, but the linebacker is battling an unrelated knee injury. Look for Davis to play a rotational linebacker role if he's able to suit up.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Off to slow start

    Davis totaled four tackles during Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay. There was hope for more effective play from Davis in 2020 after he bulked up over the offseason, but the results haven't been pretty through two games into the 2020 season. On Sunday, Davis' 46 snaps significantly trailed that of Jahlani Tavai (59), and Davis saw three missed tackles go on his ledger while allowing both pass attempts with him in primary coverage to be completed, per Pro Football Focus. Any hope of Davis become an IDP factor is seemingly a pipe dream at this point.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Backed by Patricia

    Davis (ankle) remains in Detroit's plans despite the team declining to pick up his fifth-year option, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. "I think JD is a cornerstone of what we're trying to do, and he's in those big-picture plans of where we're trying to go," head coach Matt Patricia said during a recent video call with reporters. After bringing in two notable free-agent linebackers this offseason, Detroit officially declined to pick up Davis' fifth-year option this month. However, Patricia doesn't make it seem as if the writing is on the wall for Davis' time in Detroit despite a down 2019 season. Instead, the team is probably just unwilling to pay over $10 million for Davis' services in 2021, preferring to instead work out a long-term deal with a lesser cap hit. While it remains to be seen to what extent Jamie Collins' arrival will specifically impact Davis' role, it's possible Davis could continue to post strong tackle numbers in 2020 (he had 196 total tackles over his first two NFL seasons) and beyond, even if his real-life contributions aren't actually worthy of his first-round pedigree.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Placed on IR

    Davis (ankle/knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. That's now nine different Lions starters entering the year that have either been placed on injured reserve or missed at least four games due to injury. The middle linebacker will ultimately end his 2019 campaign with 63 tackles and two sacks across 11 games.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Stuffs stat sheet Sunday

    Davis recorded five tackles (three solo), one sack, a forced fumble and a pass defensed across 66 snaps in Sunday's win over the Giants. Davis continues to make game-changing plays for the Lions this season. The third-year pro laid a pivotal hit on Daniel Jones early in the first quarter, which forced the rookie to throw a backwards pass that was scooped and scored by fellow linebacker Devon Kennard to give the Lions the early lead. Sunday also marked the first sack of the season for Davis.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Questionable vs. Philly

    Davis (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Eagles. Davis was limited in practice all week, so it's hard to tell exactly how healthy the linebacker is at this time while nursing a sprained ankle. He will likely end up being a game-time decision in Philadelphia this weekend.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Sitting out Week 2

    Davis (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 tilt against the Chargers. The 23-year-old linebacker managed limited practice participation for a second straight week, but he'll have to wait until at least Week 3 to make his season debut. The Lions figure to slot in rookie Jahlani Tavai, who managed three tackles and a sack in Week 1, in Davis' place for the second straight week against the Chargers.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Limited again

    Davis (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Davis has been limited in practice all week due to an ankle injury that caused him to miss Detroit's season-opening loss to the Cardinals. He'll have one more chance to fully practice before Sunday's tilt against the Chargers.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Works in limited fashion

    Davis (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Davis practiced in a limited fashion all week leading up to the season opener and was ultimately inactive, so Wednesday's news doesn't shift the needle. The Lions hope Davis can upgrade to a full practice participant ahead of a tough matchup against the Chargers and versatile RB Austin Ekeler on Sunday.

  • Lions' Jarrad Davis: Inactive for Sunday's contest

    Davis (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Cardinals. Davis has been dealing with a high-ankle sprain and is not healthy enough for the season opener. This is a major hit to the Lions' defense, as Davis made 100 tackles, six sacks and five pass breakups last season. Rookie second-round pick Jahlani Tavai is expected to start at middle linebacker Sunday.
