Demario Davis left Wednesday's practice early with a hamstring injury.
Fantasy Impact
The severity of the injury is unclear. There should be an update on his status when available.
The Saints and LB Demario Davis have agreed to a reworked deal. The deal is a two-year, $17.25M contract with $13.25M guaranteed.
Fantasy Impact
Davis was in the final year of his contract, so this also ensures some security for Davis. The 35-year-old will likely finish out his time with the Saints if he plays out the remainder of this reworked deal.
The New Orleans Saints are ruling LB Demario Davis as active for Thursday Night Football against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Fantasy Impact
Davis, 34, is a one-time All Pro and has been important for the Saints since joining the team in 2018. Last season he was a Pro Bowler, and this year he has 38 tackles, four QB hits and four TFLs in six games. His presence will be crucial against the Jaguars, with a talented RB in Travis Etienne and mid-field receiving threats in WR Christian Kirk and TE Evan Engram.
Demario Davis was present at Saints OTAs on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Davis returned, but 14 other players were absent from the voluntary OTAs on Tuesday including WR Michael Thomas.
Demario Davis ended Sunday’s 38-28 win over the Titans with 11 total tackles (nine solo) and one sack.
Fantasy Impact
Davis leads all Saints in tackles with 109 through Week 16. He also has four sacks and one interception during the same time span. The eight-year veteran is a low-end LB1 in all leagues.
