Eagles' Jordan Davis: Option picked up by Philly
Rotowire
The Eagles exercised Davis' fifth-year option Wednesday.
Davis was an integral part of the Eagles' defensive success during last year's Super Bowl-winning run. The Georgia product started all 17 regular-season games, recording 27 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended while serving as one of the team's top run-stuffers. Although he played 122 fewer defensive snaps in 2024 than in 2023, the offseason departure of Milton Williams likely means Davis will see an uptick in defensive work next season.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Logs 27 tackles in Year 3
Rotowire
Davis tallied 27 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sack, and two passes defended while playing in all 17 regular-season games in 2024. He added six tackles (four solo), including two sacks, and one pass defense across four playoff appearances.
Davis started every regular-season game for the second year in a row, but his playing time took a step back with 122 fewer defensive snaps played. The 336-pound nose tackle played less than 50 percent of defensive snaps in every game after Week 4. Meanwhile, second-year defensive linemen Moro Ojomo and Jalen Carter both saw significant jumps in their defensive snaps. The Eagles may employ a similar rotation on the interior defensive line in 2025. However, this could be difficult if the team doesn't retain starting defensive end Milton Williams, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Davis (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the 49ers, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Davis suffered a hamstring injury during Philadelphia's Week 12 overtime win, and after a full practice session Friday, it seems as if he's moved past the issue. The Georgia product has been an integral part of an Eagles defense that's allowing only 85.3 rushing yards per game (third-best in the NFL), and he's recorded 29 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks and two tackles for loss thus far.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Designated to return from IR
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Davis has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 versus the Steelers, but the team will now have a 21-day practice window to either activate him or leave him on IR for the remainder of the season, the first of which is much more likely. The defensive tackle could return as soon as Sunday against the Titans, but his status is worth monitoring at practice moving forward. When healthy, Davis will return to his starting role on the Eagles' defensive line, pushing Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh down the depth chart.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Ruled out for Week 9
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Houston.
Davis is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for Week 9. Initial reports suggested a four-to-six week return timeline, but the rookie defensive tackle hasn't been put on IR yet, which is encouraging. Davis' next chance to suit up will come Nov. 14 against Washington, but in his absence, Milton Williams and Marlon Tuipulotu are candidates for increased roles behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave.
