Davis carried the ball twice for four yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. Davis was less involved out of the backfield than both James Cook (13-85-2) and Ty Johnson (6-19-0), concluding the playoffs with just seven carries for 36 yards and one score across three postseason appearances. In the regular season, the rookie fourth-round pick suited up for all 17 games, rushing 113 times for 442 yards (3.9 YPC) with two touchdowns. He also had 17 catches for 189 yards and another three scores on 19 targets. Johnson is now set to hit free agency, while Cook is entering the final year of his rookie deal, so Davis could have a chance to carve out an expanded backfield role Year 2.

Davis (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Ravens. Davis, who sustained a concussion during last Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos, was deemed limited at practice this past week before approaching the contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Baltimore confirmed, Davis is slated to work in a supporting role behind Buffalo's top back James Cook (who logged 23 carries versus Denver), with Ty Johnson also available to mix in.
Davis (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Ravens. Davis sustained a concussion during this past Sunday's wild-card win versus the Broncos, containing him to a limited walkthrough Wednesday and back-to-back capped sessions to wrap up the week. He must gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to make himself available this weekend, as coach Sean McDermott told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News earlier Friday that the running back remains in the protocol for head injuries.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Davis is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Davis was forced out of Buffalo's wild-card win over the Broncos in the second half, and though he's since managed to practice in a limited capacity during one walkthrough and one full session, his status remains uncertain for Sunday's divisional-round game against Baltimore. The rookie fourth-round pick will need to gain full medical clearance, including from an independent neurologist, in order to be allowed to suit up versus the Ravens. Friday's official practice report likely will label Davis questionable to play Sunday.
Davis (concussion) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Davis suffered a concussion in the second half of this past Sunday's wild-card win against the Broncos. Since then, he logged a limited walkthrough Wednesday and maintained that activity level one day later, albeit while donning a red non-contact jersey, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. In the end, Davis will be subject to an examination from an independent neurologist in order to have a chance to play Sunday versus the Ravens.
Davis (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice. Though Davis remains in the five-step concussion protocol, he's apparently made enough progress since suffering the head injury in Sunday's 31-7 win over the Broncos in the wild-card round to take part in non-contact portions of practice. He'll likely need to be cleared for contact by Friday's practice in addition to receiving clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the protocol. If Davis isn't available for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Ravens, Ty Johnson and practice-squad member Frank Gore (if elevated) would be the available depth options behind lead back James Cook.
Head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Davis remains in the NFL's concussion protocol, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. The concussion forced Davis out of Sunday's wild-card win over the Broncos. If Davis is unable to gain clearance ahead of this Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Ravens, Ty Johnson would be in line to see added snaps behind top back James Cook.
Davis has been diagnosed with a concussion and ruled out for the rest of Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Broncos. Davis was hit in the head by Brandon Jones while attempting to haul in a pass from Josh Allen in the third quarter, which resulted in an unnecessary roughness penalty on Jones. Davis was down on the field for an extended period of time, but he did manage to walk to the sidelines before being taken to the locker room. Ty Johnson will serve as the Bills' backup running back behind James Cook for the rest of Sunday's game due to Davis' injury. If Buffalo wins Sunday, Davis would have to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in the divisional round.
Davis is being evaluated for a head injury during Sunday's wild-card round game against the Broncos. Prior to his exit from the contest, Davis carried once for three yards. In his absence, James Cook and Ty Johnson are left to handle Buffalo's backfield duties versus Denver.
