Will suit up Week 18
Davis (groin) is not among the Bengals' inactives for Sunday's contest versus Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Davis entered the weekend deemed questionable due to a groin issue, but he'll be able to suit up for Cincinnati's season finale. Chidobe Awuzie (shoulder) is inactive for the contest, so Davis could see more than his usual allotment of work in the secondary. Davis typically plays primarily on special teams -- he hasn't logged more than six defensive snaps in any contest this season.

Gets questionable tag
Davis (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of the Bengals' Week 18 matchup with the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Davis squeezed a full practice session between to limited workloads at practice this week before ultimately being listed as questionable. He is attempting to return from a one-game absence. With Chidobe Awuzie (shoulder) also getting a questionable tag, Davis could see some extra reps in the secondary if he ultimately gets cleared.

Not playing Sunday
Davis (groin) is inactive Sunday against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Davis' absence will weaken the team's depth in the secondary, but more so on special teams, where the Utah State product spends the vast majority of his snaps.
Mar 9, 2023
Signs new deal
Davis re-signed with the Bengals on a two-year deal Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis will remain in Cincinnati after spending the previous three seasons with the team. In 2022, he suited up 13 times, primarily contributing on special teams. The 27-year-old finished the year with two assisted tackles and a fumble recovery. He'll likely be working to earn a regular role in the team's secondary in 2023.

Back in full Thursday
Davis (thumb) practiced fully Thursday, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis is now in line to end his two-game absence streak due to a thumb injury following his ability to partake in Thursday's session without limitations. With that being said, the 26-year-old will likely operate in a strict special-teams role Monday night against the Bills.

Sitting out again Week 16
Davis (thumb) has been deemed inactive versus the Patriots on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Davis missed his first game of the season Week 15 versus Tampa Bay due to a thumb injury, which kept him limited in each practice leading up to Saturday's tilt. His absence shouldn't substantially affect the Bengals' pass defense since starting cornerbacks Eli Apple, Cam Taylor-Britt and Mike Hilton are all available to play.
Dec 18, 2022
Officially out sunday
Davis (thumb) has been ruled inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Davis will sit out his first game of the season after failing to practice Week 15 due to a thumb injury. With veteran Mike Hilton (knee) also out Sunday, expect Tre Flowers and Allen George to see increased usage behind starting cornerbacks Cam Taylor-Britt and Eli Apple.
Dec 16, 2022
Unlikely to play
Davis (thumb) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Andrew Gillis of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis didn't practice Wednesday through Friday due to a thumb injury, so it's not surprising to see him listed as doubtful. The fifth-year cornerback has played primarily on special teams across 13 appearances this season, so his expected absence shouldn't impact Cincinnati's secondary.
Jan 18, 2022
Full practice Tuesday
Davis was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The cornerback missed the last three weeks including the Bengals' wild-card victory over the Raiders on Saturday while nursing an ankle injury, but it appears he will be ready to go for Saturday's playoff matchup with the Titans. Even when healthy, Davis hasn't played a defensive snap since Week 13, so his return doesn't change things very much in the Bengals' secondary.
Jan 15, 2022
Unavailable against Las Vegas
Davis (ankle) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis will be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to an ankle injury that made him a limited participant in practice all week. He's served mainly on special teams during the 2021 campaign.
Jan 13, 2022
Questionable Saturday
Davis (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup against the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Davis missed the final two weeks of the regular season with an ankle injury and was limited in practice all week ahead of Saturday's matchup. He's played primarily on special teams this year.
Jan 7, 2022
Out Sunday
Davis (ankle) is out Sunday against the Browns, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis also missed Week 17 against the Chiefs with the injury. Mostly a contributor on special teams, his absence shouldn't impact the Bengals' defense too much on Sunday against the Browns.
Dec 31, 2021
Won't play Week 17
Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Chiefs, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis didn't practice at all this week, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for the first time this season. Despite being active for every game, the 25-year-old linebacker hasn't played a defensive snap since Week 13, so his absence shouldn't impact Cincinnati's defensive game plan.
