The Jaguars placed Davis (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Davis will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a torn meniscus in Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions that will need to be surgically repaired. He becomes the second Jaguars starting receiver to go down with a season-ending injury, after Christian Kirk fractured his collarbone in a Week 8 loss to the Packers. The Jaguars are now left with rookie Brian Thomas as their top option at receiver, while the absences of Davis and Kirk could open up more reps for Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay over the team's final six games. After signing a three-year, $39 million contract in March, Davis will finish his first season in Jacksonville with 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets over his 10 appearances.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Out for season
Rotowire
Coach Doug Pederson said Monday that Davis (knee) will miss the rest of the season, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Davis suffered a knee injury Sunday at Detroit, and the ensuing prognosis of out for the season indicates that he'll require a full meniscus repair. He's set to join fellow WR Christian Kirk (collarbone) on injured reserve, while Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay are left as the healthy options at the position on the Jaguars' active roster.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: May have sustained torn meniscus
Rotowire
Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in his knee during Sunday's 52-6 loss to the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Davis will undergo further medical testing Monday before the Jaguars provide an update, but if a meniscus tear is confirmed, the wideout would require surgery. A partial meniscectomy or trim would likely entail a multi-week recovery, while a full meniscus repair would sideline him for the rest of the season. Either way, Davis looks like a candidate to go on injured reserve, which would further deplete a Jaguars pass-catching corps that has already lost Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the remainder of the campaign. The Jaguars are on bye Week 12 before returning to action Sunday, Dec. 1 against the Texans.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Hurts knee Sunday
Rotowire
Davis won't return to Sunday's game against the Lions after sustaining a knee injury.
Before his exit, Davis had caught one of his three targets for three yards. With the Jaguars on bye in Week 12, Davis' next chance to see game action will occur Dec. 1 against the Texans. In his absence Sunday, Brian Thomas, Parker Washington, Tim Jones, Devin Duvernay and Velus Jones are available to handle Jacksonville's WR duties versus Detroit.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Reps capped Thursday
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) were both limited in practice for the second day in a row, but Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson hasn't suggested that the availability of either wideout for Sunday's game in Detroit is in peril. Assuming Davis is cleared to play Sunday, he'll be on the receiving end of throws from quarterback Mac Jones, who will be making a second straight start in place of the injured Trevor Lawrence (shoulder).

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Still nursing shoulder injury
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Davis has been tending to the shoulder injury since exiting early in a Week 8 loss to the Packers, but after missing the Week 9 loss to the Eagles, he was able to return to action for Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings, finishing with one catch for 19 yards on four targets. The wideout's first season in Jacksonville has been one to forget to this point, as he's averaging a career-low 26.2 receiving yards per game. He's caught more than three passes in a game just once this season and has gone without a touchdown in nine of 10 appearances. The shoulder issue shouldn't keep him from playing Sunday at Detroit, but the prospect of working with Mac Jones as his starting quarterback rather than Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) makes Davis an unappealing option in fantasy lineups.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: One catch against Vikings
Rotowire
Davis recorded one reception on four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 12-7 loss to the Vikings.
Davis returned from a one-game absence caused by a shoulder injury and finished second on the team in targets. However, the Jaguars' passing attack was abysmal with Mac Jones under center, leaving Davis little chance to produce meaningfully. He also wasn't particularly productive with Trevor Lawrence leading the offense, as Davis has reached 50 receiving yards only once on the campaign.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Expected to return Sunday
Rotowire
Davis, who is questionable for Week 10 due to a shoulder injury, is expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Davis missed last Sunday's loss to the Eagles due to the shoulder issue, but he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week and appears set to return to action. The fifth-year wideout will likely be joined by Jaguars No. 1 wideout Brian Thomas, who is also expected to suit up despite a chest injury. Davis has had a quiet first season in Jacksonville, recording 18 catches for 217 yards and two touchdowns through eight games. If Davis plays, he'll likely be working with quarterback Mac Jones on Sunday, as Trevor Lawrence is expected to sit out with a shoulder injury.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Questionable to face Minnesota
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism Friday about Davis' availability to play against Minnesota, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports. The veteran wideout missed last week's loss to the Eagles. He's averaging a career-worst 27.1 yards per game in his first season with the Jaguars.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Trending toward sitting Week 9
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles but appears to be a "longshot" to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though head coach Doug Pederson characterized Davis as a game-time decision when he last spoke to the media Friday, the receiver seemingly hasn't made enough progress from the shoulder injury he suffered in last Sunday's loss to Green Bay to give it a go in Week 9. Davis practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday, but unless his condition has dramatically improved when he's evaluated early Sunday, he'll likely be included on Jacksonville's inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With Christian Kirk (collarbone) out for the season and Davis expected to sit out Sunday, added opportunities in the passing game should be available for wideouts Parker Washington and Tim Jones as well as tight ends Evan Engram and Brenton Strange. Brian Thomas (chest) -- who is listed as questionable but expected to play -- should also be locked in as Jacksonville's No. 1 option at receiver.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Questionable tag for Week 9
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
Davis and Brian Thomas (chest) are both questionable in a Jacksonville receiving corps that will be without Christian Kirk (collarbone) for the rest of the season. Coach Doug Pederson said Friday that Davis, who logged three limited practices, will be a game-time decision prior to Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, per Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL Radio.

Jaguars' Gabe Davis: Stays limited at practice
Rotowire
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: 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: 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.
