Davis (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.
With Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) both having logged back-to-back limited sessions, Friday's practice looms large for the duo in terms of their status for Sunday's game against the Eagles. In the wake of losing Christian Kirk for the season with a broken left collarbone, the Jaguars will need to lean heavily on Davis and Thomas going forward, pending their availability.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Davis made an early exit from Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Packers, but head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that the wideout avoided a major injury and "should be fine" for this Sunday's game at Philadelphia. Fellow Jaguars wideout Brian Thomas (chest) is also in the day-to-day category, while Christian Kirk (collarbone) wasn't so lucky and will miss the rest of the season. Davis and Thomas both wore non-contact jerseys during Wednesday's practice, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. Kirk's absence could push a few more targets toward Davis, although Davis hasn't made much of a case for himself in 2024, failing to live up to a three-year, $39 million contract he signed during the offseason.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Should play in Week 9
Rotowire
Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Davis (shoulder) "should be fine" for Sunday's game at Philadelphia, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Davis was one of three Jaguars receivers who failed to finish a Week 8 loss to the Packers, with Christian Kirk (collarbone) and Brian Thomas (chest) also making early exits. Kirk will miss the remainder of the season, but Pederson expressed optimism that Davis and Thomas will both be ready to play in Week 9, though Davis looks to be a safer bet to suit up. With Kirk out, Parker Washington appears poised to absorb most of his snaps out of the slot, but there should still be extra targets for both Davis and Thomas along with tight end Evan Engram. Davis has averaged 4.4 targets through Jacksonville's first eight games, producing an 18-217-2 receiving line.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Limited to begin Week 8 prep
Rotowire
Davis (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
For the third week in a row, Davis is opening prep with a limited practice due to the knee injury. He showed no ill effects from the injury with a two-touchdown Week 6 performance against the Bears, but he took a step back in the Week 7 win over New England, finishing with just one catch. Both of those contests were in London, but Davis and the Jaguars will be back stateside Sunday for a home game against the Packers.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Limited in practice
Rotowire
Davis (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Davis dealt with the same injury last week and ended up scoring his first two touchdowns of the season, although he didn't necessarily play well from a real-life standpoint, as he dropped two other passes in the end zone. His ability to continue practicing -- even on a limited basis -- suggests he's on track to play Sunday against the Patriots.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Pair of touchdown grabs in loss
Rotowire
Davis brought in five of eight targets for 45 yards and two touchdowns in the Jaguars' 35-16 loss to the Bears on Sunday in London.
Davis finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Evan Engram on the afternoon, but he was on the receiving end of both of Trevor Lawrence's pair of scoring tosses. The 21- and five-yard touchdown grabs in the second half marked Davis' first pair of visits to the end zone as a member of the Jaguars after coming over from the Bills this offseason, and he'll have a chance to build on what was a season-high reception tally against the Patriots in Jacksonville's second consecutive London matchup Week 7.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest against the Colts, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
For a second week in a row, Davis operated with a cap on his practice reps due to a shoulder injury. However, unlike last week, when he was listed as questionable before suiting up this past Sunday at Houston, he's clear ahead of Week 5 action. Davis has handled at least a 76 percent snap share in all four games this season, but his 21 targets have amounted to just nine catches for 121 yards and no touchdowns.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Unionreports.
Davis was limited at practice last week and listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's eventual loss to the Texans, but the wideout suited up and logged a 79 percent snap share while catching one of his five targets for minus-2 yards. With no reported setbacks, chances are Davis' limitations Wednesday were maintenance-related.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Struggles vs. Houston
Rotowire
Davis caught one of five targets for minus-2 yards in Jacksonville's 24-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Davis entered the weekend officially listed as 'questionable' due to a shoulder injury, and though he managed to suit up Sunday, he logged his worst day in a Jaguars uniform. Meanwhile, both Christian Kirk (7-61-1) and rookie Brian Thomas (6-86-1) connected with quarterback Trevor Lawrence for touchdowns. Davis was better in Jacksonville's first two regular-season games, in which he averaged 90-plus offensive snaps and 52.5 receiving yards. In two contests since, he's hovered below 80 percent of snaps and racked up just 16 receiving yards on 11 targets. Davis will look to bounce back versus the Colts in Week 5.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Expected to play
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus Houston, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Davis was limited at practice throughout the week with a shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 3 against the Bills, but he now appears set to play against Houston. The wide receiver will likely participate in the team's pregame workouts prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, and afterward an official decision will be made on his availability.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Questionable for Week 4
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Houston.
On Wednesday, coach Doug Pederson revealed that Davis was dealing with a shoulder injury and was considered day-to-day, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com. Davis then managed limited practices Wednesday through Friday, leaving his status for Week 4 cloudy. His status will be confirmed, one way or another, once the Jaguars post their inactives approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Davis is inhibited or out this weekend, Parker Washington, Devin Duvernay and Tim Jones would be the tertiary wide receivers behind starters Christian Kirk and Brian Thomas.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Stays limited in practice
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The Jaguars are viewing Davis as day-to-day with the shoulder injury he sustained in Monday's 47-10 loss to the Bills. He's now been listed as a limited participant on both of the team's first two Week 4 injury reports, so Davis may need to upgrade to full participation Friday if he hopes to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game in Houston.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Quiet day against old team
Rotowire
Davis brought in two of six targets for 18 yards in the Jaguars' 47-10 loss to the Bills on Monday night.
Davis couldn't come up with any meaningful production against his old team, although he did finish tied for third in targets for Jacksonville on the night. The speedster has been reasonably productive relative to Trevor Lawrence's uneven performances thus far this season, as Davis heads into a Week 4 road matchup against the Texans on Sunday with an 8-123-0 line on 16 targets.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Earns seven targets
Rotowire
Davis recorded three receptions on seven targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 18-13 loss to the Browns.
Davis led Jacksonville with seven targets, though he failed to show the same connection with Trevor Lawrence displayed in Week 1. He failed to record a catch on any of his first three targets and managed to salvage his day with a 22-yard reception on the Jaguars' final drive. Like his time in Buffalo, Davis looks to be an inconsistent pass-catching option that is reliant primarily on big plays for production.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Team-high yardage total in debut
Rotowire
Davis brought in all three targets for 62 yards in the Jaguars' 20-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Davis managed a team-high yardage total in his Jaguars regular-season debut, securing grabs of 22, 20 and 20 yards that fit perfectly with his downfield profile. The veteran speedster is expected to help replace the speed component provided by the departed Calvin Ridley a year ago, and he'll look to garner some chunk plays again versus a talented Browns secondary in a Week 2 home matchup.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Set to play Friday
Rotowire
Davis and other starters are in line to play in Friday's preseason game against the Falcons, Demetrius Harvey of the Florida Times-Union reports.
Coach Doug Pederson said he expects his starters to play about two quarters, but it's possible there will be exceptions and/or he changes his mind during the game. Davis previously played in the first preseason game, catching one of two targets for 20 yards in the lone drive Jacksonville's first-stringers played in a 26-13 win over the Chiefs. He's locked in as a starter with his new team, joined by Christian Kirk (calf) and rookie first-round pick Brian Thomas atop the depth chart at wide receiver.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: May benefit from Jones' departure
Rotowire
Davis looks to have a top-three role at receiver to open the 2024 season after the Jaguars released Zay Jones on Tuesday, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
With both Jones and Calvin Ridley -- who led the team with 1,016 receiving yards last season -- no longer on the roster, Christian Kirk, Davis and first-round pick Brian Thomas represent the clear starters in the position group, while Parker Washington, Tim Jones, Devin Duvernay and Elijah Cooks are on hand as depth options. While with the Bills in 2023, Davis recorded 45 catches (on 81 targets) for 746 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season outings. In his new locale, the 25-year-old's fantasy upside hinges largely on what sort of volume he sees relative to the promising Thomas, who was viewed by most as the No. 4 wideout prospect available in last week's draft.

Bills' Gabe Davis: Doesn't expect to be re-signed
Rotowire
Davis (knee) said Monday he'd be open to returning to Buffalo but that he expects to hit free agency this offseason, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Davis, who missed both of the Bills' playoff games due to a knee injury suffered Week 18, said "there was nothing" in terms of extension talks with the team during the 2023 season. The wideout also said he'd have played this weekend if Buffalo had advanced to the AFC Championship Game, per Getzenberg, an indication that Davis will be fully healthy by the time free agency officially kicks off in March. Across 17 regular-season appearances in 2023, Davis secured 45 of 81 targets for 746 yards and seven scores, while his only carry went for minus-2 yards.
