Overview

  • Head coach Sean McDermott said the team is finalizing a deal to add Davis to the practice squad with an injury designation.
  • The 26-year-old is recovering from a torn left meniscus suffered in November, and there is no timetable for his return.
  • Jacksonville released Davis in May after one injury-shortened season of a three-year, $39 million contract, during which he logged 20 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games.
  • Davis met with multiple teams this offseason, including two visits to the Steelers that raised knee concerns, before visiting Buffalo in late August.
  • The Bills expect him to complete rehab on the practice squad with an eye toward elevation to the active roster, continuing a pattern of reuniting with veterans such as Jordan Poyer and Jordan Phillips.
