Records sack in win
Davis finished with two solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle is up to 30 tackles (17 solo), including 3.0 sacks, on the year. Davis has also played on more than half the defensive snaps in every game and is on track to surpass his career high of 498 defensive snaps in a season.
Oct 10, 2025
Logs second sack
Davis recorded six tackles (two solo) and one sack in Thursday's 34-17 loss to the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Davis matched his season high of six tackles, though only two were solo. He also notched his second sack of the campaign at the end of the first quarter, helping to stall a Giants' possession. Davis is on pace for the best season of his career, and he stepped up in the absence of Jalen Carter (heel) in Thursday's loss.

Notches sack in Week 3
Davis recorded five total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Davis is having an incredibly productive start to Philadelphia's 2025 campaign, logging 16 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defended across just three games. He's already set a new career high in passes defended and is on pace to shatter his previous best tackle output in a single season (45). The Georgia product is expected to continue starting alongside Jalen Carter to form one of the league's scariest defensive linemen combos in Week 4 against the Buccaneers.

Busy day in opener
Davis recorded six tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Thursday's 24-20 win versus the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Dallas was able to find more success moving the ball on the ground than through the air in Week 1, meaning plenty of run gaps for Davis to fill. After just one game in 2025, he's nearly a quarter of the way to matching his tackle total from all of his 17 games last season. It's a pace he'll at least try to keep up in Week 2 at Kansas City.

Option picked up by Philly
The Eagles exercised Davis' fifth-year option Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Davis was an integral part of the Eagles' defensive success during last year's Super Bowl-winning run. The Georgia product started all 17 regular-season games, recording 27 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended, while serving as one of the team's top run-stuffers. Although he played 122 fewer defensive snaps in 2024 than in 2023, the offseason departure of Milton Williams likely means Davis will see an uptick in defensive work next season.

Logs 27 tackles in Year 3
Davis tallied 27 tackles (15 solo), including one sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks, and one pass defense across four playoff appearances.
ANALYSIS
Davis started every regular-season game for the second year in a row but his playing time took a step back with about 122 fewer defensive snaps played. The 336-pound nose tackle played less than 50 percent of defensive snaps in every game after Week 4. Meanwhile, second-year defensive linemen Moro Ojomo and Jalen Carter both saw significant jumps in their defensive snaps. The Eagles will likely hope to employ a similar rotation on the interior defensive line in 2025. However, this could be difficult if the team doesn't retain starting defensive end Milton Williams, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
Jan 5, 2024
Will play against Giants
Davis (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Davis was able to manage a full practice Friday after being a limited participant at practice Thursday, putting him on track to suit up in Week 18. He should start on the defensive line Sunday.
Jan 4, 2024
Returns to practice
Davis (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Thursday after being deemed a nonparticipant in Wednesday's walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle injured his ankle during the Eagles' Week 17 loss to the Cardinals but stayed in the game. Davis' status in Thursday's session seems to indicate that he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Giants. The second-year pro has 42 tackles, a pass defensed and a forced fumble this season.
Jan 3, 2024
Estimated as DNP on Wednesday
Davis (ankle) was deemed a non-participant in Wednesday's practice walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
Davis hurt his ankle during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Cardinals, but he was able to finish the contest and log his usual allotment of snaps. Nonetheless, his estimated DNP to open Week 18 prep suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Davis' practice participation the remainder of the week should give clearer insight into his likelihood of suiting up for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Giants.
Dec 1, 2023
Ready for Sunday
Davis (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis suffered a hamstring injury during Philadelphia's Week 12 overtime win, and after a full practice session Friday, it seems as if he's moved past the issue. The Georgia product has been an integral part of an Eagles defense that's allowing only 85.3 rushing yards per game (third-best in the NFL), and he's recorded 29 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks and two tackles for loss thus far.
Nov 26, 2023
Shaken up in OT win
Davis suffered an apparent injury in overtime during Sunday's 34-31 win over Buffalo, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis slowly walked off the field and went into the blue medical tent during the Bills' first possession in overtime, and Philadelphia's defense didn't return to the field later in the matchup. The nature and severity of his injury aren't yet clear, but a better idea of his status for next Sunday's game against the 49ers could come into focus based on his participation in practice this week.
Oct 29, 2023
Ready to go for Week 8
Davis (hamstring) is active for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Davis was first added to the injury report Thursday with a hamstring issue, but only a couple days later, he's going to give it a go versus Washington. The defensive tackle has recorded five tackles, including two half-sacks, over the last two weeks.
Oct 27, 2023
Chance to play Sunday
Davis (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 first-round pick out of Georgia seems to be trending in the wrong direction to play this Sunday, as he popped up on Philadelphia's injury report Thursday with a hamstring issue and was unable to practice Friday. If Davis is can't go this weekend, Jalen Carter will likely see an uptick in work on the Eagles' defensive line.
Sep 23, 2023
Set to play Monday
Davis (ankle) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and will play in Monday's game against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Davis was limited in Thursday's practice but is seemingly over his ankle injury. He played in just 16 defensive snaps against the Vikings in Week 2 after logging 35 snaps on defense in Week 1 against the Patriots. The 2022 first-round pick out of Georgia has accumulated eight tackles (four solo), 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble in two games so far this year.
Sep 21, 2023
Limited with ankle injury
Davis (ankle) was limited in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The second-year defensive tackle started and played just 29 percent of the snaps last week against the Vikings after being in on 44 percent of the downs in Week 1. Davis has three QB hits, two tackles for loss and one forced fumble after two contests.
Mar 1, 2023
Lackluster rookie campaign
Davis appeared in 13 regular-season games during the 2022 campaign and recorded 18 tackles and one pass defense across 216 defensive snaps.
ANALYSIS
The rookie first-round pick missed a four-game stretch while on IR with an ankle injury during the middle of the campaign, but when available, he played a solid rotational role along Philadelphia's stout defensive line. His lack of production was a bit concerning, but he remains a high-upside player and figures to garner plenty of opportunities in Year 2.
Dec 30, 2022
Clears concussion protocol
Davis (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Davis practiced fully the past two days and cleared the concussion protocol, so he won't miss any games after he suffered the injury last week. The rookie first-round pick has 16 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defensed in 11 games this season.
Dec 29, 2022
Takes step forward Thursday
Davis (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Although Davis upgraded from limited Wednesday to full participation Thursday, Philadelphia's first two sessions of Week 17 prep were both walkthroughs, and the 336-pounder has yet to clear all the necessary protocols for head injuries that would eventually allow him to suit up New Year's Day against New Orleans. Expect Friday's injury report to provide further clarification regarding Davis' weekend availability.
Dec 24, 2022
Getting concussion check
Davis is under evaluation for a head injury during Saturday's game at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
If he ends up being diagnosed with a concussion, Davis will be subject to league protocols before he'll be allowed to see further game action. So far in his rookie season, the 2022 first-rounder compiled 14 tackles and one pass defense in 10 appearances prior to Saturday.
Dec 3, 2022
Activated from IR
The Eagles restored Davis (ankle) to the active roster Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Davis was placed on IR after suffering a high-ankle sprain against the Steelers in Week 8. The 336-pound rookie was then designated to return to practice Wednesday, and he's now set to return at the earliest possible opportunity against Tennessee on Sunday. Davis recorded 14 tackles and one pass defended while playing 147 of his 180 snaps on defense across the first seven games of the season, though this belies his value as a major piece of Philadelphia's rush defense. Expect him to reprise an important rotational role at defensive tackle as the Eagles take on star Titans running back Derrick Henry in Week 13.
Nov 30, 2022
Designated to return from IR
Davis (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Davis has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 versus the Steelers, but the team will now have a 21-day practice window to either activate him or leave him on IR for the remainder of the season, the first which is much more likely. The defensive tackle could return as soon as Sunday against the Titans, but his status is worth monitoring at practice moving forward this week. When healthy, Davis will return to his starting role on the Eagles' defensive line, pushing Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh down the depth chart.
Nov 2, 2022
Lands on IR
Philadelphia placed Davis (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Davis is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain and expected to miss four-to-six weeks, so his placement on IR doesn't come as a surprise. The rookie's next chance to suit up will come Dec. 4 against the Titans, but he may be sidelined even longer. In his absence, Milton Williams and Marlon Tuipulotu are candidates for increased roles behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave.
Nov 2, 2022
Ruled out for Week 9
Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Davis is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for Week 9. Initial reports suggested a four-to-six week return timeline, but the rookie defensive tackle hasn't been put on IR yet, which is encouraging. Davis' next chance to suit up will come Nov. 14 against Washington, but in his absence, Milton Williams and Marlon Tuipulotu are candidates for increased roles behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave.
Oct 30, 2022
Set for MRI
Davis suffered what is believed to be a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 35-13 win over the Steelers and will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of this injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis will likely miss between four and six weeks if this injury is ultimately confirmed to be a high-ankle sprain, though his eventual MRI should provide more clarity on his official time frame for a return. The rookie first-round pick played 131 defensive snaps and totaled 12 tackles and a pass defended while playing as a rotational defensive tackle behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave over the first six games of the season. If Davis is sidelined for an extended period of time, expect Milton Williams and Marlon Tuipulotu to step into bigger roles for the Eagles.
Oct 30, 2022
Done for today
Davis (ankle) will not return Sunday against the Steelers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis' injury will be a blow to the Eagles' defensive line for at least the remainder of today's game. The rookie has seen a consistent role in the team's rotation at defensive tackle this season. He'll work to be ready for the team's Week 9 contest against the Texans on Thursday.
