Chargers' Derius Davis: Mostly serves as returner in 2025
Davis caught two passes (on three targets) for 10 yards, logged 484 yards on 18 kick returns and 77 yards on 11 punt returns over 11 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2025.
Davis finished the 2025 campaign by turning four kickoff returns into 100 yards during the Chargers' AFC wild-card round loss to the Patriots on Sunday. The third-year pro was limited to a return role in 2025 while buried on the wide receiver depth chart behind the likes of Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston and rookie second-rounder Tre' Harris. Davis is under contract with the Chargers in 2026 and will likely serve as the team's returner unless an expanded role on offense emerges over the offseason.

Chargers' Derius Davis: Set to suit up
Davis (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Davis was able to upgrade to a full participant in Friday's practice, just in time to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game. The kick and punt returner will play in his first game since he suffered his ankle injury in the Chargers' Week 14 win over the Eagles. The 25-year-old is set to reclaim primary kickoff return duties from rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith. He is also set to replace Ladd McConkey as the primary punt returner for the team.

Chargers' Derius Davis: Posts limited practice Wednesday
Davis (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Davis has missed Los Angeles' past three games due to an ankle injury. It's a step in the right direction that he was able to log a limited practice Wednesday after not practicing at all last week. Davis thus seems to have a chance to return to action Sunday versus Denver for a game that head coach Jim Harbaugh has said he'll rest at least some of his starters. If Davis can play, he could see a slightly elevated role on offense and would also probably reclaim his role as the Chargers' top return man.

Chargers' Derius Davis: Ruled out for Week 17
Davis (ankle) is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Texans.
Davis will miss a third consecutive game due to his lingering ankle issue. He wasn't able to take the practice field in any capacity during Week 17 prep, meaning Davis' status could also be up in the air in Week 18. As long as Davis remains sidelined, KeAndre Lambert-Smith will stand to operate as the Chargers' primary kickoff returner, while Ladd McConkey takes over punt-return duties.

Chargers' Derius Davis: Deemed DNP on Tuesday
Davis (ankle) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's practice.
Davis has missed the Chargers' past two games while dealing with an ankle injury. His DNP listing to begin this week isn't a promising sign for his return to action, though he'll have two more opportunities to practice in some capacity this week ahead of Saturday's matchup versus the Texans. Davis has had a minor role on offense when healthy, but he's also worked as the team's lead kick and punt returner, and those duties have fallen to KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Ladd McConkey, respectively, while Davis has been out.

Chargers' Derius Davis: Inactive with ankle issue
Davis (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Davis will miss his second straight game due to a persistent ankle issue. The 25-year-old's absence means rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith will likely take on a bigger role as a kick returner, with Ladd McConkey likely taking over punt return duties.

Chargers' Derius Davis: Misses Wednesday's practice
Davis (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
The third-year pro was sidelined for the Week 15 win over the Chiefs due to an ankle injury, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Davis likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday or Friday to play in the Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday.
