Davis recorded eight total tackles (three solo) and defended one pass during Sunday's 44-19 win over the Cowboys. Davis was impactful during Sunday's blowout win in Dallas, finishing second on the Saints in total tackles and breaking up a pass to Rico Dowdle in the first quarter. The veteran inside linebacker has posted 100-plus total tackles in each of his last seven seasons, and he's expected to remain the leader of New Orleans' defense ahead of Week 3's matchup with Eagles.

Davis (hamstring) is not on the Saints' injury report Wednesday. Davis spent a large portion of camp hindered by a hamstring injury, but he should be a full go Sunday against the Panthers. The Arkansas State product will be the man in the middle of New Orleans' linebacker corps once again in 2024, his eighth season with the team.

Davis (hamstring) joined in walk-throughs and worked with a trainer on the sidelines in Tuesday's practice session, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Davis has been dealing with a hamstring injury since late July, which kept him out of Saturday's preseason opener against the Cardinals. The 2012 third-round linebacker is an integral part to the Saints' defense, and even if he returns to full health during training camp, he likely won't see the field until New Orleans' regular-season opener against Carolina on Sept. 8. Davis played in all 17 regular-season games for the Saints last year and finished with 121 tackles (74 solo), including 6.5 sacks, four passes defended and one forced fumble.

Davis and New Orleans agreed to terms Monday to restructure the final year of his contract into a new two-year, $17.25 million deal, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Davis' new two-year contract additionally includes $13.25 million in injury guarantees, while his initial deal included none. The 35-year-old veteran could now well be positioned to finish his NFL career with the Saints, though he's still playing at an extremely high level. Davis' tackling output isn't usually high enough to provide him consistent fantasy value outside of big plays, though he did tally 121 stops (74 solo) in 2023, the second-highest mark of his career.

Davis recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) including a sack in Sunday's 24-6 win versus the Giants. Sunday's game was Davis' third with a double-digit tackle total this season and his sixth with a sack. He's also eclipsed 100 tackles on the year for the seventh consecutive season. The Saints travel to take on the Rams in Week 16.
