Michael Davis - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Likely to take over starting role Davis is expected to step in as one of the Chargers' starting cornerbacks in place of J.C. Jackson (kneecap) this season, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Davis has filled in when Jackson was previously sidelined this season, playing 100 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps in two of the first three weeks, as well as 62 defensive snaps over the last two games. Now, with Jackson sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a ruptured patellar tendon, the 27-year-old Davis should step up into a full-time starting spot. The veteran also recorded 21 tackles and one pass defended over the Bolts' first seven contests, and he should see increased production while playing opposite Asante Samuel moving forward.

Impact Davis struggled mightily in 2021, prompting the Chargers to sign the All-Pro Jackson in the offseason as well as premier slot corner Bryce Callahan. Coupled with the expected growth of second-year corner Asante Samuel, who thrived at times his rookie season, Davis figured to be the odd man out of a vastly improved cornerback room. The 27-year-old evidently took the challenge to heart, as the lanky corner appears to be running away with the other outside corner spot. More of a tackler than a true shutdown corner, expect Davis to be a possible IDP candidate in deeper formats as teams opt to stay away from Jackson's side of the field.

Back from COVID list Davis (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Davis tested positive for the virus Sunday but was able to clear the health and safety protocols over the past few days. He should return to his starting role at cornerback now that he's healthy.

Shifts to COVID list Davis (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Davis is now officially on the COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus Sunday. The 26-year-old could still clear the protocols in time to play against the Broncos in Week 17.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Davis tested positive for COVID-19 prior to Sunday's loss to the Texans, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Davis was a late addition to the Week 16 injury report and was unable to play against Houston. If he continues to test positive early in the week, he could miss some practice time ahead of Week 17, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Sunday's game against Denver.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 16 Davis (illness) is now listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact It remains to be seen if the cornerback will be able to take the field Sunday after being a late addition to the injury report, but if if he's unable to do so, the Chargers' already-depleted secondary will be further taxed, while Davontae Harris is a candidate to log added Week 16 snaps.

First Interception of season Davis tallied two tackles (two solo) along with an interception in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Bengals.

Impact Davis recorded his first interception of the season and his first since Week 14 of last year. The 26-year-old was able to help the Chargers bolt out to an early lead as he picked off Joe Burrow in the first quarter, an interception that eventually led to a Los Angeles touchdown drive. After missing a few games earlier in the season, it is good to see Davis get back on track.

Chargers' Michael Davis and Nasir Adderley will play; Joey Bosa remains on COVID-19 list LOS ANGELES — The Chargers’ secondary will receive a boost Sunday with the returns of cornerback Michael Davis and safety Nasir Adderley.

NOVEMBER 20, 2021 • KANSASCITY.COM

Full go Thursday Davis (hamstring) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact The 26-year-old was limited to open the week, but improved to log a full practice Thursday. After missing the team's Week 10 matchup with the Vikings, Davis will return to his prominent role in the Chargers' secondary.

NOVEMBER 18, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will not play Sunday Davis (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Vikings.

Impact Davis was unable to practice all week, so this is not surprising news. In his place, Asante Samuel and Tevaughn Campbell will be inline for an increased workload.

NOVEMBER 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Draws doubtful designation The Chargers have deemed Davis (hamstring) doubtful ahead of Sunday's clash against the Vikings.

Impact Davis was a non-participant at practice all week, so his chance of suiting up is certainly looking slim. Should he indeed get ruled out, Tevaughn Campbell and Asante Samuel would be prime candidates to fill in for his snaps.

NOVEMBER 13, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Davis (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Eagles.

Impact Davis left the Chargers' Week 8 contest against the Patriots early and was unable to log a practice this week. With Asante Samuel (concussion) also set to miss, expect Tevaughn Campbell and Ryan Smith to step into bigger roles in the Chargers secondary.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Davis (hamstring) has been downgraded to out and won't return Sunday against New England.

Impact Davis left Sunday's game early and wasn't able to recover in time to return, so the Chargers will have their depth tested in terms of the secondary. Expect Tevaughn Campbell to handle most of the Davis' snaps opposite to Chris Harris.

OCTOBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves early Sunday Davis is questionable to return to Sunday's game with a hamstring injury, Joe Reedy of the Associated Press reports.

Impact Davis had taken on a depth role since Chris Harris had returned to the lineup. Tevaughn Campbell will likely see extra playing time until the 26-year-old can return.

Sticking with Chargers Davis agreed Monday to a three-year extension with the Chargers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Davis is coming off his best season yet, having notched career-high marks in terms of tackles (64), pass breakups (14) and interceptions (three) in 2020. He'll again operate as a key piece of Los Angeles' cornerback group next season.

Impact Teams often targeted Davis' side of the field as opposed to that of multi-time Pro Bowler Casey Hayward, but the fourth-year corner responded well, setting a career high in interceptions and tackles as well as recording his first career touchdown. The 26-year-old will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent after starting for the Chargers each of the past three seasons, but it remains to be seen if the team will give the corner a new deal with the cap expected to be significantly lower than past seasons.

First touchdown and interception Davis piled together six tackles and scored his first touchdown in this Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Davis snagged his first pick of the season after he jumped a lackadaisical throw from Tom Brady, returning it 78 yards for his first touchdown of his career. The fourth-year pro has slotted in nicely as the corner opposite Pro Bowler Casey Hayward, playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps and amassing six tackles in three straight games. Sunday was only the third career INT for Davis so it's unlikely he'll generate many points from a turnover perspective for IDP managers, but with teams refusing to throw in the direction of Hayward, Davis will naturally see more tackle opportunities week to week.
