Jalen Davis: Everything you need to know

Davis signed a one-year contract extension with the Bengals on Friday, the team's official site reports. In seven regular-season games with the Bengals in 2025, his sixth campaign with the team, Davis recorded a career-high 20 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble. The 30-year-old, who has started three of the 59 regular-season contests he's played in with Cincinnati, figures to reprise his depth role in the team's secondary this coming season.

Davis posted 20 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble over seven games in 2025. Davis has been with the Bengals' organization since 2020 but had primarily been a special-teamer prior to this season. After being promoted from the practice squad to the active roster in early December, the Utah State product started three of Cincinnati's final seven games and logged a career-high 270 defensive snaps. Now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Davis could find work with a team in need of secondary depth ahead of the 2026 season.

The Bengals signed Davis off their practice squad Monday. The Utah State product has played 79 defensive snaps over Cincinnati's last two games, recording six total tackles and one forced fumble. Now with the Bengals' active roster, Davis is expected to operate as one of the team's top boundary cornerbacks for the remainder of the season.
