Productive in loss
Published: 2023-11-14
Davis recorded nine total tackles (six solo), including one sack and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-19 loss to the Vikings.
Davis was the Saints' leading tackler for the third week in a row, bringing his season total up to 73 tackles. The All-Pro linebacker also came up big with a sack in the third quarter that pushed the Vikings out of field goal range and kept New Orleans within striking distance. Davis leads the Saints in total tackles on the year, and he's expected to continue being a focal point on one of the best defenses in the NFL as the season goes on.

Lead tackler in win
Published: 2023-11-06
Davis recorded 10 tackles (eight solo), including a sack, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Bears.
Davis was a limited participant in practice leading up to Week 9 with a knee injury, but it didn't seem to bother him Sunday as he played all 64 defensive snaps. He forced a fumble late in the fourth quarter while sacking Tyson Bagent which was recovered by the Saints and ultimately iced the game. Davis continues to be productive in his 12th season in the NFL and is leading the Saints' defense in total tackles (65) and second in sacks (three) through nine games this season.
Ready for Sunday
Published: 2023-11-03
Davis (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Davis was limited at practice due to the knee issue this week but is good to go for Sunday's contest. His 13 tackles (six) set a season high and are his highest total since Week 14 of the 2020 campaign.
Still tending to knee injury
Published: 2023-11-01
Davis (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Davis played through the knee issue in Week 8, so it probably won't threaten his availability for Sunday's game versus Chicago. Even still, he'll probably need to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Logs double-digit tackles
Published: 2023-10-30
Davis recorded 12 tackles (six solo) and a pass deflection in New Orleans' 38-27 win versus the Colts on Sunday.
Davis was questionable heading into Sunday's game with a knee injury but still managed to produce one of his best outings of the season, setting a new high for tackles. The 2012 third-round pick has 54 tackles (32 solo), with two sacks, on the season and will look to increase those numbers against the Bears next week.
Will play Sunday
Published: 2023-10-29
Davis (knee) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Davis was a limited participant in all three practice sessions this week, though that has been the Saints' plan to limit Davis' knee issue, which was reported Thursday by Erin Summers of ESPN.com. Through seven games this season, Davis is second on the team in both total tackles (42) and sacks (two).
Deemed questionable for Week 8
Published: 2023-10-27
Davis (knee) is questionable to suit up Sunday versus Indianapolis.
Davis was also questionable to face Jacksonville in Week 7, but he was able to play in that Thursday night contest, taking the field for 73 percent of the Saints' defensive snaps. He logged a trio of limited practices during Week 8 prep, giving him a decent chance of suiting up Sunday to face the Colts. Erin Summers of ESPN.com reported Thursday that New Orleans plans to limit Davis' practice and game reps while he manages the knee issue.
Still limited at practice
Published: 2023-10-25
Davis (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Davis played through his knee injury in Week 7, so any limitations at this point are probably maintenance related. If he can practice in full Thursday or Friday, he might be able to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Playing Thursday
Published: 2023-10-19
Davis (knee) is active for Thursday night's game against the Jaguars.
The four-time All-Pro was listed as questionable as recently as Wednesday. Davis has started all six games this season and recorded 38 tackles with two passes defensed.
