Across 13 regular-season appearances he tallied 56 tackles (42 solo), 11 passes defensed, two interceptions, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

Future return looking bleak Head coach Dan Campbell said he's not feeling good about the chance of Davis (jaw) returning this season, including the playoffs, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Impact Davis was placed on injured reserve this past Tuesday after fracturing his jaw in this past weekend's win over the Lions. Though the veteran cornerback's surgery timeline predicted a return for a possible NFC Championship Game, he's now likely to be done for any further games Detroit plays. He logged 56 tackles (42 solo), 11 passes defended (two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 13 games this year.

Impact As expected, Davis will go on injured reserve after fracturing his jaw during Sunday's 48-42 loss to Buffalo. The 2018 second-round pick is expected to be sidelined for at least six weeks once he undergoes surgery to address the injury, which opens the door for him to return for the NFC Championship Game if the Lions make it that far in the playoffs. With Davis and Khalil Dorsey (ankle) on IR, Kindle Vildor is expected to step into the second starting outside corner role opposite Terrion Arnold.
