I didn't think it would. People overrate players bc they made a couple of plays in the preseason vs backups. Per The Athletic’s Erin Hawksworth, the Redskins managed to sign Davis to their practice squad, after Davis went unclaimed on waivers. It was postulated that Davis could attract interest around the league, as a preseason standout with an excellent athletic profile. But teams often gravitate to familiar faces, and even then, there aren’t many open spots around the league, with rosters only recently finalized. Want your voice heard? Join the Riggo's Rag team! Write for us! Thus, Davis was able to remain available for the Redskins to sign. Per Hawksworth, Davis signed for more than the league minimum. Perhaps this is a testament to his performance in preseason and his initial inclusion on the 53-man roster. Davis was a consistent big play threat in preseason, showing off his speed and size, and he also made plays on special teams, recovering two muffed punts in Week 3 against the Falcons.

The team had a practice squad spot open after promoting tight end J.P. Holtz, but if Jordan Reed returns to full health soon, Holtz’s utility decreases. In that case, promoting Davis and relegating Holtz back to the practice squad would be a possibility. But even if Davis remains on the practice squad, he could move up eventually, as Washington’s receiving core has a notorious health record.
