22 Cody Davis DB

Davis has signed a contract with the Jaguars, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Davis started two games and appeared in seven for the Rams as a free safety during 2017, notching his second career interception and adding a career-high 22 tackles (15 solo). He should serve in a similar depth role for the Jaguars behind Tashaun Gipson.

The Rams officially activated Davis (thigh) to the 53-man roster Friday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

Davis takes the roster spot of Matt Longacre (back), who was placed on injured reserve Thursday. The fifth-year safety projects to serve as a core rotational piece in the Rams' secondary, but he likely won't see the type of workload that would justify IDP consideration.

Davis (thigh) returned to practice Thursday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Davis returned to the field after being placed on injured reserve in early November due to a quad injury. He will not be eligible to return to the active roster until Week 17, so further updates should be available leading up to that contest.

Davis (thigh) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Myles Simmons of the Rams' official site reports.

Davis hasn't practiced in any capacity since sustaining this injury in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The 28-year-old safety will be eligible to return in Week 17, but it's unclear who will take the final spot on the 53-man roster for the time being.

Davis (thigh) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Rams insider Myles Simmons reports.

Davis' absence comes as no surprise after failing to practice throughout the week, while Blake Countess and Marqui Christian are in line to provide depth at safety behind Lamarcus Joyner and John Johnson.
