Davis signed a one-year contract extension with the Bengals on Friday, the team's official site reports.
In seven regular-season games with the Bengals in 2025, his sixth campaign with the team, Davis recorded a career-high 20 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble. The 30-year-old, who has started three of the 59 regular-season contests he's played in with Cincinnati, figures to reprise his depth role in the team's secondary this coming season.

Bengals' Jalen Davis: Role grows in 2025
Rotowire
Davis posted 20 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, one interception and one forced fumble over seven regular-season games in 2025.
Davis has been with the Bengals' organization since 2020 but had primarily been a special-teamer prior to this season. After being promoted from the practice squad to the active roster in early December, the Utah State product started three of Cincinnati's final seven games and logged a career-high 270 defensive snaps. Now set to enter unrestricted free agency this offseason, Davis could find work with a team in need of secondary depth ahead of the 2026 season.

Bengals' Jalen Davis: Sitting out again Week 16
Rotowire
Davis (thumb) has been deemed inactive versus the Patriots on Saturday.
Davis missed his first game of the season Week 15 versus Tampa Bay due to a thumb injury, which kept him limited in each practice leading up to Saturday's tilt. His absence shouldn't substantially affect the Bengals' pass defense since starting cornerbacks Eli Apple, Cam Taylor-Britt and Mike Hilton are all available to play.

Bengals' Jalen Davis: Full practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Davis was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.
The cornerback missed the last three weeks, including the Bengals' wild-card victory over the Raiders on Saturday, while nursing an ankle injury, but it appears he will be ready to go for Saturday's playoff matchup with the Titans. Even when healthy, Davis hasn't played a defensive snap since Week 13, so his return doesn't change things very much in the Bengals' secondary.

Rotowire

Bengals' Jalen Davis: Officially questionable for Week 7
Rotowire
Davis (anke) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Ravens.
Davis didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned in a limited capacity Friday, which may give him an opportunity to suit up in Week 7. The 25-year-old cornerback has played mostly special teams this season, so if he is unavailable Sunday, it shouldn't affect the Bengals' defensive rotations.

Jalen Davis: Let go by Arizona
Rotowire
Davis was cut by the Cardinals on Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
The 24-year-old earned promotion from the team's practice squad last season, suiting up for 20 special-teams snaps in two games during the 2019 campaign. Davis will now look elsewhere around the league to find a depth role with the 2020 season fast approaching.
