Davis caught five passes (on seven targets) for 41 yards and a touchdown during the Bills' 35-8 win over the Jets on Sunday.
The Bills rested or limited the snap counts of their top skill position players during Sunday's regular-season finale. That gave Davis an expanded role in the offense, and the sixth-year pro led all Bills pass catchers in snaps, targets and receptions, and he capped off his night with a two-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell Trubisky midway through the third quarter. Davis joined the Bills in late November and logged 12 catches (on 18 targets) for 129 yards and one score across six regular-season games. He served more as a run blocker in the Bills' offense, but his chemistry with Josh Allen could lead to Davis taking on more responsibilities during this Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Nabs two catches in Week 14 victory
Rotowire
Davis finished Sunday's 39-34 victory versus the Bengals with two catches on two targets for 21 yards.
Josh Allen spread the ball around to nine different pass catchers on a snowy Sunday, with much of his production going to tight ends Dawson Knox (6-93-0) and Dalton Kincaid (4-41-1). Among the Bills' wideouts, Davis had the most receiving yards, though Khalil Shakir finished with the better fantasy line due to hauling in a touchdown. Davis has seven catches on 10 targets for 88 yards through four games heading into a Week 15 road battle in New England.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Elevated from practice squad
Rotowire
The Bills elevated Davis from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Davis was taken off the practice squad injured list in late October after recovering from a lingering knee injury, and the 2020 fourth-rounder is poised to suit up for Buffalo for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay. Given his connection with Josh Allen during four seasons with the Bills, Davis could be utilized in the offensive gameplan alongside Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer, especially in the absence of tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). During the 2023 regular season with the Bills, Davis caught 45 passes (on 81 targets) for 746 yards and seven touchdowns across 17 games.

Gabe Davis: Getting closer to contributing
Rotowire
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Davis is "getting close" to suiting up for game action but that the team is still not putting a timeline on his return, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Davis inked with Buffalo's practice squad early September but spent most of the season to date sidelined with a knee injury. However, he came off the practice-squad injured list in late October and is now ramping up his activity level. While the veteran wideout will likely remain sidelined Sunday versus Miami, expect Davis to contribute on offense for Buffalo at some stage this season.

Gabe Davis: On practice squad injured list
Rotowire
Davis (knee) was placed on the Bills' practice squad injured list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Davis agreed to sign with the team's practice squad Tuesday, but the wideout will reside on the injured list while he continues to bounce back from a torn meniscus he sustained last season, per Joe Buscagliaof The Athletic. Down the road, Davis could find himself back in the Bills' WR mix, and his familiarity with the offense (the 26-year-old played for Buffalo from 2020 through 2023) would no doubt ease his transition to a return to action in such a scenario.

Gabe Davis: Visiting Buffalo after Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Davis (knee) is scheduled to meet with the Bills after a medical follow-up with the Steelers on Tuesday, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
The Jaguars released Davis in May, a little less than six months after he suffered a season-ending meniscus injury. A return to Buffalo -- where he played from 2020 to 2023 -- might be the most promising option for getting his career back on track, but Davis likely will start off in a backup role wherever he ends up signing.

Gabe Davis: Making second Steelers visit
Rotowire
Davis (knee) is visiting with the Steelers on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Davis is meeting with the receiver-needy Steelers for the second time this offseason. He hasn't seen any action since suffering a season-ending meniscus tear Week 11 of the 2024 campaign as a member of the Jaguars. Davis had at least 549 receiving yards and six touchdowns in each of his four regular seasons with the Bills from 2020-2023.

Gabe Davis: Released by Jaguars
Rotowire
The Jaguars released Davis (knee) on Wednesday.
Davis made it through just one season of a three-year, $39 million contract, playing 10 games for Jacksonville before a torn meniscus ended his 2024 campaign. He may not be back at full strength yet but should get there before Week 1 of 2025, making the 26-year-old a reasonable free-agent option for WR-needy teams this spring/summer. The Jaguars, meanwhile, are moving forward with No. 2 overall draft pick Travis Hunter and free-agent signing Dyami Brown alongside Brian Thomas at wide receiver.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Goes on IR
Rotowire
The Jaguars placed Davis (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Davis will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a torn meniscus in Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions that will need to be surgically repaired. He becomes the second Jaguars starting receiver to go down with a season-ending injury, after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone in a Week 8 loss to the Packers. The Jaguars are now left with rookie Brian Thomas as their top option at receiver, while the absences of Davis and Kirk could open up more reps for Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay over the team's final six games. After signing a three-year, $39 million contract in March, Davis will finish his first season in Jacksonville with 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets over his 10 appearances.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Out for season
Rotowire
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Davis (knee) will miss the rest of the season, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Davis suffered a knee injury Sunday at Detroit, and the ensuing prognosis of out for the season indicates that he'll require a full meniscus repair. He's set to join fellow WR Christian Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve, while Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay are left as the healthy options at the position on the Jaguars' active roster.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: May have sustained torn meniscus
Rotowire
Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his knee during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Davis will undergo further medical testing Monday before the Jaguars provide an update, but if a meniscus tear is confirmed, the wideout would require surgery. A partial meniscectomy or trim would likely entail a multi-week recovery, while a full meniscus repair would sideline him for the rest of the season. Either way, Davis looks like a candidate to go on injured reserve, which would further deplete a Jaguars pass-catching corps that has already lost Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the remainder of the campaign. The Jaguars are on bye Week 12 before returning to action Sunday, Dec. 1 against the Texans.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Hurts knee Sunday
Rotowire
Davis won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions after sustaining a knee injury.
Before his exit, Davis had caught one of his three targets for three yards. With the Jaguars on bye in Week 12, Davis' next chance to see game action will occur Dec. 1 against the Texans. In his absence Sunday, Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones, Devin Duvernay and Velus Jones are available to handle Jacksonville's WR duties versus Detroit.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Reps capped Thursday
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) were both limited in practice for the second day in a row, but Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson hasn't suggested that the availability of either wideout for Sunday's game in Detroit is in peril. Assuming Davis is cleared to play Sunday, he'll be on the receiving end of throws from quarterback Mac Jones, who will be making a second straight start in place of the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: One catch against Vikings
Rotowire
Davis recorded one reception on four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
Davis returned from a one-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and finished second on the team in targets. However, the Jaguars' passing attack was abysmal with Mac Jones under center, leaving Davis little chance to produce meaningfully. He also wasn't particularly productive with Trevor Lawrence leading the offense, as Davis has reached 50 receiving yards only once on the campaign.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Expected to return Sunday
Rotowire
Davis, who is questionable for Week 10 due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Davis missed last Sunday's loss to the Eagles due to the shoulder issue, but he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and appears set to return to action. The fifth-year wideout will likely be joined by Jaguars No. 1 wideout Brian Thomas, who is also expected to suit up despite a chest injury. Davis has had a quiet first season in Jacksonville, recording 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns through eight games. If Davis plays, he'll likely be working with quarterback Mac Jones on Sunday, as Trevor Lawrence is expected to sit out with a shoulder injury.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Questionable to face Minnesota
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism Friday about Davis' availability to play against Minnesota, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports. The veteran wideout missed last week's loss to the Eagles. He's averaging a career-worst 27.1 yards per game in his first season with the Jaguars.
