Can't secure roster spot
The Browns are waiving Davis on Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis put together a strong preseason in Cleveland and is expected to resurface on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Hauls in two preseason TDs
Davis caught all three of his targets for 23 yards and two touchdowns in Friday's 30-10 preseason win over the Panthers. He also lost two yards on his only carry and added 31 return yards.
ANALYSIS
An undrafted free agent back in 2022, Davis made his NFL debut last season in Week 18 with the Browns and made a positive impression on special teams with 107 return yards. The 26-year-old did more than that Friday, rising to the occasion as a red-zone target for Shedeur Sanders and hauling in TDs of seven and 12 yards in the second quarter. Davis is still likely on the outside looking in for a Week 1 roster spot, especially with DeAndre Carter on the squad, but if he keeps stacking strong performances, he could make the veteran return man expendable.

Makes NFL debut

In his one active game, Davis did enough to rank fourth on the team in kickoff-return yards. There are many unknowns as the organization turns its attention to what is expected to be an roster makeover during the offseason. Davis could sign a reserve/future contract and be on the radar for a role in 2025.
