Davis (ankle) was a full participant in Saturday's practice and will play in Monday's game against the Buccaneers.
Davis was limited in Thursday's practice but is seemingly over his ankle injury. He played in just 16 defensive snaps against the Vikings in Week 2 after logging 35 snaps on defense in Week 1 against the Patriots. The 2022 first-round pick out of Georgia has accumulated eight tackles (four solo), 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble in two games so far this year.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Takes step forward Thursday
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice estimate.
Although Davis upgraded from limited Wednesday to full participation Thursday, Philadelphia's first two sessions of Week 17 prep were both walkthroughs, and the 336-pounder has yet to clear all the necessary protocols for head injuries that would eventually allow him to suit up New Year's Day against New Orleans. Expect Friday's injury report to provide further clarification regarding Davis' weekend availability.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Designated to return from IR
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Davis has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 8 versus the Steelers, but the team will now have a 21-day practice window to either activate him or leave him on IR for the remainder of the season, the first of which is much more likely. The defensive tackle could return as soon as Sunday against the Titans, but his status is worth monitoring at practice moving forward. When healthy, Davis will return to his starting role on the Eagles' defensive line, pushing Linval Joseph and Ndamukong Suh down the depth chart.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Ruled out for Week 9
Rotowire
Davis (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Houston.
Davis is believed to be dealing with a high-ankle sprain, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out for Week 9. Initial reports suggested a four-to-six week return timeline, but the rookie defensive tackle hasn't been put on IR yet, which is encouraging. Davis' next chance to suit up will come Nov. 14 against Washington, but in his absence, Milton Williams and Marlon Tuipulotu are candidates for increased roles behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave.

Eagles' Jordan Davis: Flies to Philly
Rotowire
The Eagles selected Davis in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 13th overall.
Philadelphia got in on the trading frenzy in the early teens of this year's draft, using one of their two first-round selections to move up to 13 and nab the defensive tackle out of Georgia. Davis is a mountain of a man at 6-foot-6 and 341 pounds, but he's not merely a space-eater in the middle; he is an elite athlete. At the combine, Davis scored above the 95th percentile among all defensive tackles in the 40-yard dash (4.78) and broad jump (123.0 inches). The question with Davis is whether he can remain effective with an increase in snap count, but his physical ability on a play-to-play basis is beyond question. Davis will get to learn the nuances of NFL defensive line play from Fletcher Cox.
