Placed on IR
Davis (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve by the Packers on Tuesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The tight end will have to reach an injury settlement with Green Bay to play in 2024. Davis has played more on special teams than offense during his three seasons with the Jaguars and Packers. The 2020 sixth-round pick missed all of 2023 with a torn ACL.

Done for season
Davis suffered a torn ACL in Friday's preseason win over the Bengals, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: A significant contributor to the Packers' special teams, the fourth-year tight end is expected to miss the entire season. It's entirely possible the Packers could sign an additional tight end in the coming days to provide some training camp depth, with only Austin Allen currently on the roster behind 2023 NFL Draft Day 2 selections Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft.

Re-ups with Green Bay
The Packers re-signed Davis on Wednesday, the team announced.
Analysis: The 25-year-old has appeared in 31 games for the Packers over the last two seasons, catching eight passes for 61 yards while seeing heavy snaps on special teams. Perhaps he'll be given more of an offensive look with Robert Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis free agents this offseason.

Draws first target since Week 5
Davis failed to secure his lone target while playing nine of the Packers' 49 snaps on offense in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: The second-quarter target Davis drew Sunday -- which was intercepted by safety Reed Blankenship -- was the tight end's first since Week 5 against the Giants. On the few occasions he takes the field with the offense, Davis will likely continue to be deployed primarily as a blocker.

Tallies two receptions
Davis brought in both targets for 26 yards in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Davis did not do a lot in the box score, but he did have a 23-yard reception and was the only Packers tight end other than Robert Tonyan to catch a pass. Davis remains behind both Tonyan and Marcedes Lewis on the depth chart, but based on both output and snap counts, he has surpassed fellow tight end Josiah Deguara heading into Week 4.

Loses fumble Friday
Davis was targeted once, caught one pass for seven yards and lost a fumble in Friday's exhibition contest against the Saints.
Analysis: Davis started at tight end in Friday's contest, but he was limited to the lone look and had a ball slip through his hands for the second time in as many weeks. The Packers like Davis' potential, but he has not done himself any favors over the last couple weeks.

Quiet in exhibition opener
Davis was targeted twice but did not catch a pass in Friday's preseason game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Davis started Friday's contest and saw a red-zone look from quarterback Jordan Love in the first quarter, but the ball went through his hands and resulted in an interception for the opponent. Davis came on late last season and has made some noise since the offseason began, but in addition to the drop he also had some issues in the blocking department, so that was not the start to the exhibition season he was looking for.

Trends upward in 2021
Davis was targeted five times and caught four passes for 35 yards over 14 appearances in the 2021 season.
Analysis: The Packers signed Davis off the Colts' practice squad in late September, and he wound up seeing action in every game the rest of the way. He filled a reserve role in each contest, but his snap count increased as the season went on, and he may have done enough to be brought back by the Packers for another go-around.

Plays career-high 19 snaps
Davis was targeted once and caught one pass for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-30 victory over the Ravens.
Analysis: Davis' numbers certainly did not stand out in the box score, but the 22-yard reception was a career long and he also played a career-high 19 snaps on offense. Davis remains definitively behind Josiah Deguara and Marcedes Lewis on the depth chart, but he will continue operating as the Packers' third tight end until Dominique Dafney (ankle) returns, and he could retain the role afterward.

Catches first career pass
Davis was targeted once and caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's 17-0 victory over the Seahawks.
Analysis: Davis played a season-high 12 snaps Sunday with fellow tight end Dominique Dafney (hamstring) sidelined, and he was able to record his first career reception in the contest. While Davis was more involved Sunday, he still finished third among Packers tight ends in snaps, and he figures to continue filling only a bit role.

Signed by Green Bay
The Packers signed Davis from the Colts' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Davis appeared in eight games as a rookie with the Jaguars last season. After being released by Jacksonville following the 2021 training camp, the second-year tight end signed with the Colts' practice squad. The Packers let go of 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger following his two-game suspension and recently placed Dominique Dafney (hip) on IR, so Davis should provide some much-needed depth to their tight end room.

Sitting out Sunday
Davis (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
Analysis: Starter Tyler Eifert (neck) is unavailable Sunday, so it's notable the rookie still isn't suiting up versus Los Angeles. Davis is without a catch on two targets in four games this season. James O'Shaughnessy will operate as Jacksonville's top tight end in Week 7.

Won't face Indianapolis
Davis (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Davis' next chance to take the field will come Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie sixth-round pick profiles as more of a blocker than a receiver, so his absence won't have much of an impact on Jacksonville's aerial approach.

Dealing with knee injury
Davis was listed on Jacksonville's injury report Wednesday with a knee injury.
Analysis: This is the first we're hearing of an injury with the rookie tight end, but it could put his status for Sunday's season opener against the Colts in jeopardy. As more of a blocker than a receiver, Davis wasn't ticketed for a significant fantasy role either way.
