DERIUS DAVIS NEWS

Managing hamstring injury again Davis was limited in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring issue, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Davis previously dealt with a hamstring issue and missed two games in late October as a result, but it's not clear if his current injury is related. The second-year wideout's chance of suiting up Sunday against Tampa Bay should gain clarity based on his practice participation the remainder of the week. Davis has played a limited role in Los Angeles' offense with no more than two catches in any game this season, but he's also served as the team's primary kick and punt returner.

Set to return Week 9 Davis (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against the Browns.

Impact Davis missed Weeks 7 and 8 due to a hamstring issue, but he was able to log an LP/LP/FP progression during practice this week. That will set him up to return to action Sunday versus Cleveland. Davis has just one catch on two targets for eight yards through five games this season, so his biggest impact could be on special teams, as he returns both kickoffs and punts for Los Angeles.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Wednesday Davis (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Davis has been sidelined for the Chargers' last two regular-season games due to a hamstring injury. He wasn't able to practice all of last week, so his ability to return to the field Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- is a step in the right direction. Davis will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Davis was listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's contest after being unable to practice all week, and his next chance at suiting up will be Week 9 against the Browns on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Unlikely to play vs. New Orleans Davis (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Impact Davis has been unable to practice all week due to a hamstring injury he sustained during the Chargers' loss to the Cardinals on Monday. If Davis is indeed inactive for Sunday's contest, Ladd McConkey would likely serve as the Chargers' kickoff and punt returner, though the latter is listed as questionable due to a hip injury.

Back-to-back DNPs to start week Davis (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis missed Monday's game against the Cardinals due to a hamstring injury, and his consecutive DNPs to open the week doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Saints. The 2023 fourth-round pick will have one more chance Friday to return to practice.

Opens week as DNP Davis (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis suffered a hamstring injury during practice leading up to Monday's game against the Cardinals, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined for. His DNP on Wednesday isn't a good start to the week, but he'll have two more chances to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of the Chargers' Week 8 contest against the Saints on Sunday.

OCTOBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable for MNF Davis (hamstring) is inactive for Monday night's contest against the Cardinals.

Impact Davis popped up on Saturday's injury report with a hamstring issue and he'll ultimately be forced to miss the team's matchup with Arizona. In his absence, Jalen Reagor is a candidate to see extra work as a kick returner and punt returner in Week 7.

Pops up on injury report Davis (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Arizona.

Impact Davis was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he made an appearance on Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring issue. He joins a long list of Chargers' wide receivers who have an injury tag heading into Monday's contest. With Ladd McConkey (hip) also listed as questionable, it's unclear who would serve as the Bolts' returner for kickoffs and punt returns if both Davis and McConkey are inactive.

Suiting up Davis (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Chiefs.

Impact Davis will take the field in Week 4 despite not practicing Thursday or Friday. He should handle the team's return duties, while also likely seeing a few snaps on offense.

SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 4 Davis (hamstring) is considered questionable to play in Sunday's contest against Kansas City.

Impact Davis opened the week as a limited participant at practice with a hamstring injury before failing to participate at the team's final two sessions of the week. The wide receiver appears to be unlikely to play in Week 4, though the questionable tag leaves the door open for him to give it a go Sunday.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Downgrades to DNP Davis (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice session.

Impact The fact that Davis' practice participation has decreased doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Sunday against the Chiefs. He will have one more chance Friday to practice in at least a limited capacity. If Davis cannot play Sunday, Ladd McConkey would be a leading candidate to handle kickoff and punt return duties for the Chargers.

Limited Wednesday Davis (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Davis took one carry for eight yards and accumulated 42 return yards during Sunday's loss to the Steelers, but it appears he sustained a hamstring injury in the process. The third-year wideout's participation Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of his potential Week 4 availability. If he's unable to suit up, expect Ladd McConkey to serve as the Chargers' top return man.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Handles one carry in Week 3 Davis rushed once for eight yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Through three weeks, Davis has not been targeted in the passing game and has rushed three total times so far this season. Even with teammate Joshua Palmer (elbow/calf) sidelined Sunday, the 24-year-old wideout played just nine offensive snaps in the contest. Davis' minimal usage in the Chargers' offense keep him far off the fantasy radar heading into a matchup against the Chiefs in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Two touches against Las Vegas Davis rushed the ball twice for nine yards in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

Impact Davis failed to record a single target in the contest and played just seven of the Chargers' 57 offensive snaps. Buried on the wide receiver depth chart, Davis will likely struggle to see ample opportunities on a consistent basis. Nonetheless, Davis will have another opportunity to step forward in the offense when the Chargers visit the Panthers in Week 2.

Takes only touch to house Davis had only one touch in Saturday's 26-19 preseason win over the Cowboys, taking an end-around 70 yards for a touchdown on the Chargers' first play from scrimmage.

Impact The 2023 fourth-round pick may have done all he needed to do to secure his spot on the 53-man roster with one carry, as Davis took the handoff from Easton Stick, beat a couple Dallas defenders to the corner and took off down the sideline. Davis figures to be the Chargers' primary kick returner this season, but with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams (knee) both now wearing other uniforms, the team's wide receiver corps has a lot of snaps and targets up for grabs. If players like Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark (hip) and Quentin Johnston don't step up, Davis could get some opportunities on offense as the season progresses.
