Davis (quadriceps) will spend the rest of the 2026 season on injured reserve after his 21-day practice window expired Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Davis injured his quad during training camp in late July and started the regular season on IR. His 21-day window opened Oct. 6, but he has not progressed enough in his recovery to warrant his removal from IR. That means that the 2022 sixth-rounder will be sidelined for the rest of the season unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Browns.

Browns' Kalia Davis: Cleared to return to practice
Rotowire
The Browns opened Davis' (quadriceps) 21-day practice window Tuesday.
Davis opened the regular season on injured reserve after the fifth-year pro suffered a quadriceps injury during a training camp practice in late July. He's eligible to be activated from IR before Sunday's road game against the Jets, though Davis will likely need to log some full practices before getting the green light from the Browns to play. His return would bolster the Browns' interior defensive front, especially after 2025 first-rounder Mason Graham was diagnosed with an MCL and ankle sprain that he sustained during Cleveland's Week 4 win over Pittsburgh.

Browns' Kalia Davis: Lands on IR with quad injury
Rotowire
The Browns placed Davis on injured reserve Tuesday due to a quadriceps injury.
Davis sustained the injury during a training camp practice in late July, forcing him to miss all three of the Browns' preseason games. By opening the regular season on IR, the fifth-year defensive tackle will be required to miss at least four games, so Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 11 is the earliest the Davis would see the field under the current designation, though it's possible he works out an injury settlement with the team between now and then. Adin Huntington and Mike Hall will serve as the Browns' rotational options at defensive tackle behind starters Mason Graham and Maliek Collins for as long as Davis is sidelined.

49ers' Kalia Davis: Not activated by 49ers
Rotowire
Davis' (knee) 21-day window to be activated by the team after getting designated to return from the reserve/non-football injury list has come to a close, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
Davis has practiced with the team for the last three weeks but will no longer be able to after not getting activated. The 49ers are healthy on their interior defensive line entering the playoffs, so they plan on sticking to their original plan of "redshirting" Davis during his rookie campaign to ensure his health for the 2023 season.
