Davis (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Davis was estimated as a non-participant throughout Detroit's week of practice after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 12 win over the Colts, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Kindle Vildor to start opposite Terrion Arnold as part of Detroit's top outside cornerback duo in Davis' stead.

Davis (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. Davis was estimated as a non-participant throughout Detroit's week of practice after sustaining a knee injury in the Week 12 win over the Colts, so it's no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Kindle Vildor to start opposite Terrion Arnold as part of Detroit's top outside cornerback duo in Davis' stead.
Davis (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. Davis played 43 defensive snaps and recorded one total tackle before exiting the Lions' Week 12 win over the Colts due to a knee injury. The first-year Lion likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation either Tuesday or Wednesday in order to suit up for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Bears.
Davis (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts. The cornerback made one solo tackle before exiting. With Davis' fellow starting corner Terrion Arnold (groin) inactive Sunday, Detroit, for the moment, is down to two backups in Kindle Vildor and Khalil Dorsey.
Davis (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is expected to play. Davis missed some practice reps earlier in the week but is good to go Sunday. He's coming off a two-interception game in the Lions' come-from-behind win over the Texans last week. Davis figures to see plenty of rookie Brian Thomas in this matchup.
Davis (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. Although Davis wasn't listed on Wednesday's estimated injury report, it's possible that he may have injured his hand during the Lions' Week 10 win over the Texans. His practice participation Friday will give a better indication for his status against the Jaguars on Sunday. If Davis were unable to suit up, Khalil Dorsey and Kindle Vildor would be candidates to see increased snaps at corner with the Lions' first-team defense.
Davis recorded four solo tackles, two interceptions and two passes defensed in Sunday's 26-23 win over Houston. Davis came into Week 10 without an interception on the year, but that changed quickly. He picked off C.J. Stroud on the first play of the second half before securing another interception later in the third quarter. The performance marked the first time in the cornerback's seven-year NFL career that he was able to snag multiple interceptions in one game. Davis has now produced 47 total tackles (37 solo), two interceptions, 10 passes defensed and two fumble recoveries over nine games in 2024.
Davis recorded seven tackles (five solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 24-14 win over the Packers. The cornerback also played on 95 percent of the defensive snaps. Davis has 43 tackles (33 solo), eight passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in eight games this season.
Davis (quadriceps) is available to play in Sunday's matchup with the Vikings. After logging DNPs in consecutive days to begin Detroit's week of practice, Davis upgraded to full practice Friday and subsequently drew a questionable designation. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual workload at cornerback opposite Terrion Arnold.
Davis (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports. Davis upgraded to full practice Friday after logging consecutive DNPs to begin Detroit's week of practice, suggesting he's trending towards playing Sunday. The first-year Lion was already able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Monday after sustaining the head injury in the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, so the leg injury is the sole factor that could prevent him from suiting up in Sunday's divisional clash. If Davis is ultimately unable to do so, expect Khalil Dorsey to see increased work in the Lions' secondary.
