Won't face Lions Davis (groin) is listed as inactive for Saturday's game against the Lions.
Impact Davis had been enjoying an outstanding 2020 campaign prior to suffering his mid-game groin injury last Sunday against Atlanta, recording four interceptions and an eye-popping 18 pass deflections while containing opponents to an 87.6 passer rating over 105 targets in coverage. A Week 16 absence against Detroit will mark the 23-year-old's first of the season. With Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford active for the Saturday showdown, Jamel Dean is likely to see an uptick in usage for the Buccaneers' secondary.

Downgraded to doubtful Davis (groin) is tagged as doubtful for Saturday's game against Detroit.
Impact Davis was previously called a game-time decision by coach Bruce Arians, but his doubtful tag suggests that the cornerback won't be available for the Saturday contest. The designation is not surprising considering Davis' inability to practice at all this week. The absence will be Davis' first this season.

Will be game-time decision Davis (groin) is expected to be a game-decision for Saturday's clash against Detroit, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Impact Davis hurt his groin in Sunday's victory over the Falcons and was unable to practice Tuesday or Wednesday this week. While he has not yet been ruled out for Saturday, coach Bruce Arians noted Thursday that Davis will be a game-time decision for the contest. If Davis can't suit up, Herb Miller is expected to be called up from the practice squad, while Tampa Bay's secondary is deep enough to cover for Davis in his absence.

Non-participant Wednesday Davis (groin) was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Davis left this past Sunday's win over the Falcons with a groin injury, and he's been listed as a DNP for the first two days of practice. The third-year cornerback is trending in the wrong direction for Saturday's matchup gainst the Lions, but a return to the practice field in any capacity Thursday would serve as meaningful progress. Jamel Dean and Ross Cockrell will be the main beneficiaries if Davis sits out.

Busy in forgettable afternoon Davis recorded five solo tackles and defensed two passes in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Impact Davis' final numbers were perfectly acceptable for a cornerback from an IDP perspective, but he was repeatedly embarrassed by Tyreek Hill during the speedster's record-setting performance as well. Naturally, Hill has handed out such treatment to more than his fair share of defenders thus far in his storied career, so Davis is far from alone in that regard. However, it's worth noting Hill's repeated success against him helped push the completion percentage allowed by Davis in primary coverage on the season over the 50.0 percent mark (51.8), which currently ranks as the highest figure of the corner's two-plus seasons. Additionally, the five touchdowns Davis has now surrendered leave him just one short of tying the career high he set in that category during the 2019 season.

Logs full workload in win Davis (knee) recorded three tackles (two solo) and defensed a pass in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Impact The third-year cornerback shook off the knee issue that he'd nursed during the week to play 47 out of a possible 48 snaps on defense and an additional 10 on special teams. Davis also got his hands on the ball on one occasion, pushing his pass breakups to 14 through 10 games and remaining on a pace to comfortably exceed last season's impressive 19 defensed passes.

Ready to play Sunday Davis (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Impact Davis missed practice Thursday with a sore knee, but he was able to take part in Friday's session in a limited capacity. Even though the Buccaneers still listed Davis as questionable for the Week 10 contest heading into the weekend, coach Bruce Arians noted that he anticipated the cornerback would play. Now that his availability is confirmed, Davis should be ready to handle his normal starting role in the secondary. The 23-year-old leads Tampa Bay with four interceptions and 13 pass breakups this season.
