The Bills reverted Davidson to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Davidson was active for Sunday's Week 13 game against San Francisco and played 15 offensive snaps, failing to catch his only target. He was clearly the third tight-end option for Buffalo behind Dawson Knox (28 offensive snaps) and Quintin Morris (24) with Dalton Kincaid (knee) out of action. If Kincaid sits out again next Sunday in Los Angeles against the Rams, Davidson could be elevated again, though he doesn't see enough action to be a viable fantasy target.

Bills' Zach Davidson: Gets Week 13 elevation
Rotowire
Davidson was elevated from the Bills' practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus San Francisco.
Davidson has one previous elevation this season, as he played 11 offensive snaps against Kansas City in Week 11 and caught his only target for five yards. To date, that is the only NFL action of his career. Davidson's elevation for Week 13 corresponds with Buffalo's top tight end, Dalton Kincaid, being ruled out due to a knee injury.

Zach Davidson: Let go by Buffalo
Rotowire
Davidson was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Alec White of the team's official website reports.
Davidson compiled a team-high 50 receiving yards on five catches during the preseason, but he ultimately didn't do enough to crack the initial 53-man roster. If the tight end clears waivers, he has a good shot of joining the Bills' practice squad ahead of the 2024 season.

Bills' Zach Davidson: Hits injured reserve
Rotowire
The Bills placed Davidson on injured reserve Wednesday with an undisclosed injury, ending his 2023 campaign, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Davidson, a 2021 fifth-round pick by Minnesota, spent the 2022 campaign on the Bills' practice squad and then signed a futures deal with Buffalo in January. However, he'll either miss the entire 2023 campaign or will have to come to an injury settlement with the Bills after apparently suffering an injury at some point during the team's offseason program. Davidson has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game.

Bills' Zach Davidson: Staying in Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bills signed Davidson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.
Davidson was a fifth-round pick by the Vikings in 2021 and was a member of the team's practice squad as a rookie. The 6-foot-7 tight end was then waived ahead of the 2022 season and spent the entire campaign with the Bills' practice squad. Davidson now will look to see the field in regular-season action for the first time with Buffalo during the 2023 season.

Zach Davidson: Waived by Vikings
Rotowire
Minnesota waived Davidson on Tuesday, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official website reports.
No surprise here, as Davidson figured to have long odds in terms of making the final roster. He was No. 4 on the tight end depth chart heading into roster cuts. This outcome mirrors last season, as he was cut by the Vikings during final cuts and subsequently spent the year on their practice squad.
