Goes on IR The Jaguars placed Davis (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact Davis will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a torn meniscus in Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions that will need to be surgically repaired. He becomes the second Jaguars starting receiver to go down with a season-ending injury, after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone in a Week 8 loss to the Packers. The Jaguars are now left with rookie Brian Thomas as their top option at receiver, while the absences of Davis and Kirk could open up more reps for Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay over the team's final six games. After signing a three-year, $39 million contract in March, Davis will finish his first season in Jacksonville with 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets over his 10 appearances.

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson confirms the worst about wide receiver Gabe Davis Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis will be out of the season with a knee injury, as confirmed by coach Doug Pederson.

NOVEMBER 19 • JACKSONVILLE.COM

Out for season Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Davis (knee) will miss the rest of the season, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Davis suffered a knee injury Sunday against the Vikings, and the ensuing prognosis of out for the season indicates that he'll require a full meniscus repair. He's set to join fellow WR Christian Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve, while Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay are left as the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Report: Jags WR Gabe Davis suffered meniscus tear Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabriel Davis likely suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during Sunday’s game, NFL Network reported...

NOVEMBER 18 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

May have sustained torn meniscus Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his knee during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Davis will presumably undergo further medical testing Monday before the Jaguars provide an updated diagnosis of his injury, but if a meniscus tear is confirmed, the wideout would require surgery. Any recovery timeline for Davis would hinge on the type of procedure he would require, as a partial meniscectomy or trim would likely entail a multi-week recovery, while a full meniscus repair would necessitate a lengthier absence that would keep him out for the rest of the season. Either way, Davis looks like a candidate to go on injured reserve, which would further deplete a Jaguars pass-catching corps that has already lost Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the remainder of the campaign. The Jaguars are on bye Week 12 before returning to action Dec. 1 against the Texans in Week 13.

Hurts knee Sunday Davis won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions after sustaining a knee injury.

Impact Before his exit, Davis had caught one of his three targets for three yards. With the Jaguars on bye in Week 12, Davis' next chance to see game action will occur Dec. 1 against the Texans. In his absence Sunday, Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones, Devin Duvernay and Velus Jones are available to handle Jacksonville's WR duties versus Detroit.

Cleared to face Detroit Davis (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Mia O'Brien of 1010XL Radio reports.

Impact Davis got the green light to play after three limited practice, which is also the case for fellow starting wide receiver Brian Thomas (chest). Detroit has allowed plenty of yardage to wide receivers this season, but Davis may not be able to capitalize on this favorable matchup while working with backup quarterback Mac Jones for a second consecutive week.

NOVEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Reps capped Thursday Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) were both limited in practice for the second day in a row, but Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson hasn't suggested that the availability of either wideout for Sunday's game in Detroit is in peril. Assuming Davis is cleared to play Sunday, he'll be on the receiving end of throws from quarterback Mac Jones, who will be making a second straight start in place of the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Still nursing shoulder injury Davis (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Davis has been tending to the shoulder injury for weeks but was able to play through it last Sunday against the Vikings, finishing with one catch for 19 yards on four targets. Davis' first season in Jacksonville has been one to forget to this point, as he's averaging a career-low 26.2 receiving yards per game. He's caught more than three passes in a game just once this season and has gone without a touchdown in nine of 10 appearances.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

One catch against Vikings Davis recorded one reception on four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Davis returned from a one-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and finished second on the team in targets. However, the Jaguars' passing attack was abysmal with Mac Jones under center, leaving Davis little chance to produce meaningfully. He also wasn't particularly productive with Trevor Lawrence leading the offense, as Davis has reached 50 receiving yards only once on the campaign.

Suiting up Sunday Davis (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Davis will return to the lineup after sitting out the Jaguars' Week 9 loss to the Eagles with the shoulder injury. He was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but the Jaguars haven't indicated that he'll face any restrictions with his snap count Sunday. Davis should get all the playing time he can handle in a Jaguars receiving corps that will be without Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the rest of the season, but Davis' fantasy prospects could be hindered by Jacksonville breaking in a new quarterback in Mac Jones this weekend. He'll be filling in for Trevor Lawrence, who is seemingly being viewed as week-to-week with an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to return Sunday Davis, who is questionable for Week 10 due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Davis missed last Sunday's loss to the Eagles due to the shoulder issue, but he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and appears set to return to action. The fifth-year wideout will likely be joined by Jaguars No. 1 wideout Brian Thomas, who is also expected to suit up despite a chest injury. Davis has had a quiet first season in Jacksonville, recording 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns through eight games.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to face Minnesota Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism Friday about Davis' availability to play against Minnesota, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports. The veteran wideout missed last week's loss to the Eagles. He's averaging a career-worst 27.1 yards per game in his first season with the Jaguars.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Davis (shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact Davis missed Week 9 with the shoulder injury and has logged back-to-back limited practices to begin this week. It's been a tough first season in Jacksonville for Davis, who has just 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns through eight contests. He's averaging a career-low 27.1 yards per game in 2024 and now may not have Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) this week.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited at practice Davis (shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact As was Brian Thomas (chest), with both wideouts maintaining their level of participation from last week (Wednesday through Friday). Thomas was subsequently cleared to face the Eagles on Sunday, while Davis was among the Jaguars' Week 9 inactives, so of the two, his status for this weekend's contest against the Vikings is less certain. Unless he returns to a full session by Friday, look for Davis to approach Week 10 action with an injury designation.

Inactive Sunday Davis (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Davis logged limited practices this past week, before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the season and Davis sidelined, Brian Thomas (who had been listed as questionable as well, but is active Sunday) is in a position to lead the Jaguars' Week 9 wideout corps, with added opportunities in the team's passing game available for fellow wideouts Parker Washington and Tim Jones, along with tight ends Evan Engram and Brenton Strange.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Trending toward sitting Week 9 Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles but appears to be a "longshot" to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Though head coach Doug Pederson characterized Davis as a game-time decision when he last spoke to the media Friday, the receiver seemingly hasn't made enough progress from the shoulder injury he suffered in last Sunday's loss to Green Bay to give it a go in Week 9. Davis practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, but unless his condition has dramatically improved when he's evaluated early Sunday, he'll likely be included on Jacksonville's inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the season and Davis expected to sit out Sunday, added opportunities in the passing game should be available for wideouts Parker Washington and Tim Jones as well as tight ends Evan Engram and Brenton Strange. Brian Thomas (chest) -- who is listed as questionable but expected to play -- should also be locked in as Jacksonville's No. 1 option at receiver.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable tag for Week 9 Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) are both questionable in a Jacksonville receiving corps that will be without Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the rest of the season. Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Davis, who logged three limited practices, will be a game-time decision prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, per Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL Radio.
