Rotowire
The Colts activated Davis off their active/non-football illness list Monday.
Davis missed almost a month on the Colts' active/NFI list due to high blood pressure, but it now appears he's moved past the issue. The interior defensive lineman inked a two-year, $14 million deal with Indianapolis this past offseason after recording 61 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, across the last two seasons in Miami. Expect the trio of DeForest Buckner, Grover Stewart and Davis to wreak havoc on opposing offensive lines in 2024.

Rotowire
The Colts placed Davis (undisclosed) on the active/non-football illness list Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

The Alabama product recorded 28 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in 17 games with Miami last season, and he's in line to serve as a rotational defensive lineman once he moves past his illness.

Dolphins' Raekwon Davis: Gets questionable tag
Rotowire
Davis (wrist) is considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Broncos.
After limited practice sessions to kick off the week, Davis logged a full workload Friday. As such, he is seemingly trending in the right direction, but final confirmation of his status is unlikely to come until a few hours before game time. Brandon Pili would be in line to fill in at nose tackle should Davis ultimately not get the go-ahead.

Davis' knee injury has been causing him trouble since the team's 2021 home opener. The 25-year-old managed to play in the first two matchups of his 2022 campaign, tallying seven tackles. With Davis sidelined, John Jenkins will likely see an increased role.

Dolphins' Raekwon Davis: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Davis (knee) is questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Patriots, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Rotowire
Davis is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to a knee injury.

Dolphins' Raekwon Davis: Back to practicing in full
Rotowire
Davis (shoulder) was a full participant during Thursday's session, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Davis exited late in Miami's Week 6 win over the Jets with a shoulder injury, though a Week 7 bye afforded the rookie extra recuperation time. The Alabama product is trending towards active status for Sunday's tilt against the Rams, which would keep him without a game missed on the year. So far in 2020, Davis has recorded seven totals tackles, though he's yet to notch his first career sack over 118 defensive snaps. Pass-rushing acumen wasn't a particularly notable part of his skill set for the Crimson Tide, as Davis had just one college season with more than 1.5 sacks (8.5 in 2017).

Dolphins' Raekwon Davis: Increased workload on tap
Rotowire
Coach Brian Flores said Thursday that Davis will see increased defensive snaps with Davon Godchaux (biceps) expected to miss three months, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Flores also said the rookie second-round pick, who only played 30 percent of defensive snaps Week 5, is "still trying to find his niche." The Dolphins' front seven as a whole is still working to consistently manufacture pressure, so Davis isn't yet worth serious consideration in IDP formats, but the Alabama product's development will warrant close monitoring. Davis' massive frame (6-foot-6, 311 pounds) could lead to consistent production as a run stopper if he were to start handling a full-time role.

Dolphins' Raekwon Davis: Comes off COVID-19 list
Rotowire
The Dolphins have activated Davis from their reserve/COVID-19 list.
Davis, who the Dolphins took in the second round of the 2020 draft, is thus slated to move into a role on the team's revamped front seven. Per Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com, the Alabama product profiles as a good fit as a 3-4 end in Miami's defense, and at 6-foot-6, 311 pounds, Davis should also be able to make his mark as a run stopper.

Dolphins' Raekwon Davis: Lands in South Beach
Rotowire
The Dolphins selected Davis (ankle) in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 56th overall.
Davis is the latest in a long line of Nick Saban-coached defensive linemen to come to the NFL from Alabama. At 6-foot-6 and 311 pounds, Davis is a mountain of a man who will fit nicely in the middle of the Miami defensive line. However, Davis struggled to find consistency at Alabama and had just three tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks in 12 starts as a senior, so Miami will have to work to get the most out of him. Sometimes his massive frame can hinder him as he's not explosive off the ball and linemen can get leverage under him.
