Michael Davis: Everything you need to know

Davis (shoulder) was placed on the injured reserve list Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. The 29-year-old from BYU sustained a shoulder injury in the Week 17 win over the Titans and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise he's shifted to IR. Davis finished his 2025 campaign with four total tackles across 11 appearances while primarily contributing on special teams (eight snaps on defense, 113 on special teams).

Davis (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Titans, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Davis suffered an apparent shoulder injury in the contest, bringing his day to a premature end. The cornerback operates primarily as a special-teams option, so his absence carries little to no impact on defense.

Davis signed with the Saints on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Davis had options, according to Garafolo, as he initially agreed to sign with New Orleans' practice squad before the Lions called to sign him to the active roster. Instead, he's sticking with the Saints and joining the 53-man roster. Davis has 122 career regular-season games under his belt and appeared in 15 with the Commanders last season.
