Davis agreed Thursday to re-sign with the Jets, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Davis, a 2020 third-round pick, suited up for all 17 regular-season games with New York last season. He mainly served in a reserve role in the Jets' defensive backfield and was a core special-teams contributor, totaling 37 tackles (23 solo), eight pass breakups, three interceptions and one forced fumble.

Jets' Ashtyn Davis: Six tackles in loss
Rotowire
Davis had six tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins. He also rushed once for minus-1 yard.
The speedy Davis has had a couple of nice special-teams plays for the Jets this season, but the Dolphins sniffed out New York's fake punt and stuffed Davis in the first half. The score was only 7-0 at the time, but the failed fake punt took the air out of the Jets' sails. On the bright side, Davis set a new season high in tackles.

Jets' Ashtyn Davis: No injury designation
Rotowire
Davis doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis logged a full practice Friday after being limited in each of the first two sessions ahead of Week 8 and is expected to be available after missing Week 7 due to a hamstring injury. However, the third-year pro has seen only 10 defensive snaps across six appearances this season, so he figures to play primarily on special teams against New England.

Jets' Ashtyn Davis: Playing every-down role
Rotowire
Davis recorded five tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.
Davis also had a sack wiped out by an egregious roughing the passer penalty. The rookie safety has blossomed nicely since returning from an early-season groin injury, as Davis has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of the last two games while displaying a nice combination of coverage ability and physicality. His full-time role on defense has led to Davis' removal from New York's kick returner role, which now belongs to wide receiver Braxton Berrios.

Rotowire
Davis (groin) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game versus the Jets.
Despite being a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, the Jets have essentially ruled out Davis for Week 4. If he indeed sits out, the rookie third-rounder should have a good chance to return in Week 5 against the Cardinals.

Jets' Ashtyn Davis: Set for backup work
Rotowire
Davis (groin) is likely to operate as the Jets' No. 3 safety in 2020, Ethan Greenberg, Eric Allen and Randy Lange of the team's official site report.
Jamal Adams -- barring an unexpected trade -- and Marcus Maye are entrenched in the starting spots at safety, but Davis could still see the field in specialized packages this year. The rookie third-round pick started the past two seasons at Cal and recorded six interceptions in 24 games.
