  • Vikings' Jamin Davis: Headed to Minnesota

    The Vikings signed Davis off the Packers' practice squad Tuesday. After being cut by the Commanders on Oct. 22, Davis managed to catch on with the Packers' practice squad Oct. 29, though he hasn't been elevated to Green Bay's active roster. Adding Davis to the 53-man roster gives the Vikings much-needed depth at inside linebacker after Ivan Pace (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. While Pace is sidelined, Davis and Brian Asamoah will serve as Minnesota's rotational inside linebackers behind starters Blake Cashman and Kamu Grugier-Hill.

  • Jamin Davis: Cut loose by Washington

    The Commanders released Davis on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports. Davis, the Commanders' first-round pick of the 2021 NFL Draft, has seen his playing time this season diminish as he regressed to a rotational role behind starting defensive ends Dorance Armstrong (ribs) and Clelin Ferrell. Davis' tenure with Washington will end with 282 combined tackles, including 7.0 sacks, one interception, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 50 regular-season games (including 36 starts). The 25-year-old will explore his options and look for a fresh start elsewhere.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Not playing Sunday

    Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Davis has started in 28 games for the Commanders over the last two seasons, but he did not start in Week 1 against the Buccaneers and he finished the contest with three tackles (two solo) while playing just 16 snaps (13 on defense, three on special teams). With Washington going to a 3-4 scheme under head coach Dan Quinn, Davis doesn't appear to have an established role in the defense to start the regular season. The 2021 first-round pick's next chance to suit up is Week 3 against the Bengals on Sept. 23.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Not getting Year 5 option

    The Commanders are declining the fifth-year option on Davis' (shoulder) rookie contract, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports. Washington took Davis with the 19th pick in the 2021 Draft, and while he's started 36 of 45 games through three seasons, his elite athleticism (4.47 40, 42-inch vertical) hasn't translated to elite performance. The 25-year-old likely will be a starter again in 2024 under new coach Dan Quinn, but it won't come as any surprise if this ends up being Davis' final year in Washington. He had season-ending shoulder surgery in December, potentially impacting his participation in spring practices.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Should be at training camp

    Davis is expected to be healthy for training camp after undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery in December, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports. Davis finished his third season with 89 tackles (50 solo), including three sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception. The Kentucky product should be back to full health by training camp and heads into 2024 with one year remaining on his contract, as well as a fifth-year option the Commanders have until May 2 to exercise.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Gets to quarterback Sunday

    Davis recorded seven tackles (five solo) including a sack in Sunday's 31-19 loss versus the Giants. Davis sidestepped Saquon Barkley to get home on a blitz for his third sack of the season in Week 11, adding to a solid fantasy performance. He's on pace for his second straight 100-plus tackle year, making him a reasonable IDP consideration heading into Thursday at Dallas.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Ties season-high tackle total

    Davis logged 11 tackles (six solo) in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to the Seahawks. Davis' tackle tally was enough for a game-high and tied his highest total of the season. He played all 74 defensive snaps, which marked his third consecutive game doing so. The linebacker will look to carry the momentum of his productive play into Washington's Week 11 matchup with the Giants.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Six tackles in victory

    Davis compiled six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Cardinals. Davis was busy in Week 1, finishing second to only to Kamren Curl (10) for the team lead in tackles. The linebacker increased his production across the board in 2022 after his rookie campaign in 2021 and he'll look to do the same now in year three.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Good to go

    Davis (knee) confirmed Wednesday that he took part in the Commanders' first training camp practice. Davis has been dealing with a knee injury since the end of the 2022 season, but he moved past the issue at some point during the offseason. The 2021 first-round pick said that he's "just getting back up to speed and getting back rolling." Over his first two seasons in the league, the Kentucky product logged 180 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and four sacks over 32 appearances.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Easing back from knee procedure

    Davis underwent a clean-up procedure on his knee earlier this offseason and will be limited to participating in walk-through drills during OTAs, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Davis ended the 2022 season on injured reserve after hurting his knee in a Week 17 loss to Dallas. The 24-year-old finished his second season in the league with 104 tackles, three sacks and two fumble recoveries in 16 games. He'll aim to be back to full health for the start of training camp.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Shifted to IR

    The Commanders placed Davis (knee) on injured reserve Saturday. Davis apparently suffered a knee injury during the Week 17 loss to Cleveland, as he was previously considered questionable to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Cowboys. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, the second-year linebacker will now finish the 2022 campaign on IR. Davis logged 104 tackles, three sacks and a pass defended across 16 games this season, so his absence will leave Washington's injury-riddled linebacker corps with three available players between Milo Eifler, David Mayo and Khaleke Hudson.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Double-digit stops in win

    Davis registered 10 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 19-13 victory versus the Falcons. Davis set a new season high in tackles while playing every defensive snap for the fourth time in the past five games. The 2021 first-round pick also made an immediate impact Week 12, as he logged five stops on Atlanta's opening drive of the game. Davis has now recorded 35 tackles, one pass defended and one fumble recovery over the last five weeks, and he should continue to see increased playing time after starting middle linebacker Cole Holcomb (foot) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Season-high nine stops

    Davis recorded nine tackles (five solo) and a fumble recovery during Sunday's 32-21 win over the Eagles. Davis logged a team high in tackles during this terrific performance for Washington's defense. The linebacker nearly picked up a scoop-and-score fumble early in the fourth quarter, though this recovery was ultimately called back to the Philadelphia 34-yard line upon further review. Davis also played every defensive snap for the second time in the past three games, and he'll likely play an every-down role if team-leading tackler Cole Holcomb (foot) sits out for the fourth straight game this coming Sunday against Houston.

  • Commanders' Jamin Davis: Two sacks in loss

    Davis recorded six tackles (five solo) and two sacks in Sunday's 24-8 loss to the Eagles. Davis notched a season high in tackles Sunday and has totaled three sacks over the last two games. As a rookie, the 2021 first-round pick managed 76 stops and one sack across 16 appearances (559 defensive snaps), but he's seized a much larger role to start the 2022 campaign and could easily been in store for a career year if he stays healthy.

  • Football Team's Jamin Davis: Not on injury report

    Davis (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's practice session. Davis was inactive for Sunday's game against Dallas due to an illness, but he wasn't limited by the issue during the team's first practice session of the week. He'll likely be available to start Sunday against Philadelphia.

  • Football Team's Jamin Davis: Ready to play Sunday

    Davis (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Washington listed Davis as questionable heading into the weekend even though he practiced fully Friday, but he was apparently able to get the green light from an independent neurologist in order to play, the final step of the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The rookie thus looks on track to start at middle linebacker, coming off a Week 13 outing against the Raiders in which he logged six tackles while playing 91 percent of the defensive snaps.

  • Football Team's Jamin Davis: Notches six tackles in victory

    Davis recorded six tackles (five solo) in a 29-19 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Davis' six tackles brings his season total to 40. The 19th overall selection of the 2021 Draft has had a solid, yet unspectacular campaign, at least statistically. He'll try to continue building his presence on the Washington defense in Week 11 against the Panthers.

  • Football Team's Jamin Davis: Getting reps at MLB

    Davis played a lot of middle linebacker during Wednesday's practice, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. With Jon Bostic comfortable playing either MLB or weak-side 'backer, Washington figures to give its first-round pick a look in both spots. Davis was a late bloomer at Kentucky, but he had 103 tackles and three interceptions his senior season, before putting up a 4.47 40-yard dash and 42-inch vertical jump at his pro day. He instantly becomes one of the most athletic linebackers in the NFL, joining a defense that was already among the most talented in the league. That doesn't necessarily mean Davis will handle a three-down role or even a starting job, but he at least has a shot to earn it, working with the first-team defense right out of the gate. Coach Ron Rivera even mentioned Davis when he was asked about players who impressed him with retention of what they learned during the offseason program.
