Clears protocol Davis (head) has cleared concussion protocol Monday, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.

Impact Davis played 34 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles and two passes defended before exiting Sunday's win over the Cowboys with a head injury. However, it now appears the first-year Lion has already moved through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and is not expected to miss any time.

Ten tackles in team debut Davis recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory versus the Rams.

Impact Davis was rather busy in his debut with the Lions after being traded to Detroit in March, finishing second on the team in takedowns. The cornerback played 77 of the team's 78 total defensive snaps, missing his only snap after briefly getting hurt on a diving interception attempt in the fourth quarter. With the Lions' offense amongst the best in the NFL, Davis could have a big year with the team's opponents likely attempting to come from behind late in games.
