Bills WR Gabe Davis to have MRI on injured knee

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis will undergo an MRI on Monday to assess the severity of his left knee injury, NFL Network reported.

The injury threatens to sideline Davis for the remainder of the playoffs, according to the report, which noted that swelling in his knee made it difficult for the Bills’ medical staff to formulate an initial diagnosis.

Davis, 26, was carted to the locker room in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s 27-24 road win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round. Buffalo advanced to face the Denver Broncos, the AFC’s top seed, in the divisional round on Saturday.

Davis’ knee buckled as he was hit while trying to catch a pass in triple coverage. He previously sustained a torn PCL and meniscus in the same knee in November 2024, during his lone season as a member of the Jaguars.

Davis signed with Buffalo in September as his recovery continued and played six games during the regular season, recording 12 catches for 129 yards and one touchdown. He had two catches for 14 yards against Jacksonville in the playoff opener.

A fourth-round draft pick in 2020, Davis spent his first four seasons with the Bills. In 80 career games (61 starts), he has 195 receptions for 3,098 yards and 30 scores.

Free agent wide receiver Gabriel Davis will visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, ESPN reported.

Davis was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars after one season on May 7 in a move that will saw the team absorb a $20.3 million dead cap hit.

Davis, 26, caught 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games (nine starts) last season before sustaining a torn meniscus in his left knee on Nov. 17 in a 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions.

The Steelers also shipped wide receiver George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys on May 7 in exchange for draft-pick compensation.

Going to Dallas along with Pickens is a sixth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, while the Steelers received a third-round selection in 2026 and a fifth-round pick in 2027.

The Steelers still are awaiting an answer from free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers as to whether he will sign with Pittsburgh.
