The Panthers released Davis (foot) off injured reserve with an injury settlement Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Davis was battling to make the Panthers' 53-man roster before sustaining a foot injury in late August that landed him on IR, which would have forced him to miss all of 2024 before reaching an injury settlement Monday. Once Davis proves he's returned to full health, he's free to sign with any team once again.

Browns' Tae Davis: To start against Jets
Rotowire
Davis will draw the start at middle linebacker for Sunday's matchup against the Jets.
After starter B.J. Goodson tested positive for COVID-19 and was subsequently placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the job is now Davis' to hold down as the Browns look to secure a playoff position. Goodson has been Cleveland's leader this season in combined tackles with 91, which means Davis should see plenty of opportunities and could be a sneaky add as a low-rostered IDP option.

Browns' Tae Davis: Back at practice
Rotowire
Davis (elbow) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Davis was set to miss significant time after suffering the elbow injury in Week 3, so the fact that he's back at practice is a positive sign. He'll hope to progress into full practice at some point during the week to have a good chance to play Sunday. If he's forced to sit out again, however, B.J. Goodson is expected to continue to start at middle linebacker.

Giants' Tae Davis: Healthy scratch Sunday
Rotowire
Davis (coach's decision) won't play in Sunday's game against the Lions, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Davis will get the healthy scratch for the second time this season, and he started the year as a starter for the Giants. It obviously hasn't gone according to plan, as the 23-year-old has played just 60 defensive snaps this campaign, accumulating six tackles (three solo). David Mayo and Josiah Tauaefa will act as the team's depth inside linebackers for the game Sunday.

Giants' Tae Davis: Sports non-contact jersey
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) is wearing a non-contact jersey in Thursday's practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Davis is progressing through the league's five-step concussion protocol.
