Davis secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders. Davis finishes the regular season with 13 catches (17 targets) for 112 yards and two scores across 15 appearances. He also logged 12 carries for 39 yards, and contributed a combined 759 yards on kick and punt return duties. The 2023 fourth-round pick improved on his rookie-year production totals across the board, and he'll have a chance to continue making an impact Saturday on the road in a wild-card round playoff game against Houston.
Davis caught both of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in the 40-7 win over the Patriots on Saturday. He also lost three yards on his only carry of the contest. Davis opened the scoring on the afternoon with an impressive diving 27-yard catch on a beautifully thrown ball by Justin Herbert. It was Davis' second touchdown in as many weeks and comes despite the second-year wideout tallying 22 offensive snaps total over that stretch. The Chargers still have plenty to play for Week 18 in terms of playoff seeding, but it's possible Davis could see more playing time if the score gets out of handle against the lowly Raiders.
Davis lost three yards on his only carry and also caught two passes for 31 yards and a touchdown in the 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday. Davis' first touchdown of the season came on a blown assignment as the speedy receiver took advantage of a defender cheating too far up on a simple checkdown route, and the receiver immediately exploded down the sideline for a relatively easy 19-yard touchdown reception. The second-year wideout is effectively an end-around gadget player, as he's played 10 or fewer offensive snaps in six of the past eight games.
Davis (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. Davis was held to limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday due to a hamstring injury, but he logged a full session Friday, suggesting that he's recovered from the issue in time to play Sunday. With the second-year wideout back at full health, he's expected to serve as the Chargers' top kick and punt returner in Week 15. Davis could also have increased offensive opportunities with Jalen Reagor (finger) sidelined Sunday.
Davis was limited in practice Wednesday due to a hamstring issue, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. 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.
Davis (hamstring) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's battle against the Browns. 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.
Davis (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday. 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.
Davis (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints. 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. Jalen Reagor and Ladd McConkey will be the Chargers' primary returners on kickoffs and punts with Davis sidelined.
Davis (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints. 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.
