Giants place LB Jarrad Davis on injured reserve

The New York Giants placed linebacker Jarrad Davis on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday.

Davis, 28, suffered a knee injury during organized team activities. He was set to enter his first full season with the Giants.

The Detroit Lions made Davis a first-round draft pick (21st overall) out of Florida in 2017. He spent his first four seasons with the Lions and one campaign with the New York Jets before returning to the Lions in 2022.

The Giants signed Davis off Detroit’s practice squad in December. He recorded a half-sack in his lone regular-season appearance for them before also starting New York’s two playoff games.

In 68 career games (51 starts), Davis has amassed 344 tackles, 11 sacks, seven forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.

Reports: Giants LB Jarrad Davis recovering from shoulder surgery

New York Giants linebacker Jarrad Davis is out indefinitely following shoulder surgery, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.

Davis, 28, was expected to start at inside LB alongside newly acquired Bobby Okereke but there is no timetable for his return.

Davis was signed by the Giants late last December off the Detroit Lions’ practice squad. New York re-signed him to a one-year, $1.18 million contract in March.

A first-round draft pick (21st overall) by Detroit in 2017, Davis has recorded 344 tackles, 11 sacks and seven forced fumbles in 68 games (51 starts) with the Lions (2017-20, 2022), New York Jets (2021) and Giants.
