The New York Giants placed linebacker Todd Davis on the reserve/retired list Tuesday. The 29-year-old called it a career on Tuesday. "I had to work hard to get to a certain point in my career, and it felt like people were asking me to start all over," said Davis. "It's time for me to move on to other ventures." Davis led the Broncos in tackles 2016, 2018-2019, and was part of the Super Bowl 50 championship team. Davis racked up 505 tackles, three sacks, one interception, and two fumble recoveries across 96 games in his NFL career.
Free-agent linebacker Todd Davis signed with the New York Giants on Saturday. He was cut by the Denver Broncos at the end of 2020 training camp and signed with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 of last season. The 30-year-old racked up 35 tackles (16 solo) and one sack over 11 games in 2020. Davis will provide linebacker depth, but is not on the fantasy radar in IDP league formats.
Minnesota Vikings linebacker Todd Davis is being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive on Friday. Davis is being quarantined but the Vikings Week 8 game against the Packers remains on schedule for this Sunday. It's more bad news for a Vikings Defense that has really fallen apart in 2020. They already traded defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to the Ravens and rank 22nd in the league with 13 sacks through seven weeks of the season. Fantasy-wise, Minnesota ranks 29th in the NFL in overall fantasy points, which means they should continue to sit on the waiver wire this weekend against the high-scoring Packers attack.
The Minnesota Vikings are signing former Denver Broncos linebacker Todd Davis to a one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. It'll give the Vikings some depth at the position following the season-ending injury to Anthony Barr (pectoral). Davis had two straight seasons of 100-plus tackles in Denver, so he could really help the Vikings make up for Barr's absence. However, with the Vikings getting trampled both on the ground and through the air through two weeks, you can continue avoiding them in fantasy football, especially with the Titans on the scheduled this weekend.
The Denver Broncos released inside linebacker Todd Davis on Friday, according to a source. This comes as a surprise, as Davis spent the last six seasons (four as a starter) in Denver, but he dealt with injuries in training camp each of the last two years. But when healthy, the 28-year-old from Sacramento State can be a productive tackler, as he finished the 2019 season with 126 tackles in the middle of the field. Davis should land on his feet somewhere else, but he'll need to stay healthy in order to contribute as a tackling machine.
Denver Broncos linebacker Todd Davis (calf) is expected to miss two to three weeks with a calf injury that he sustained in practice this week. On a more positive note, running back Melvin Gordon III (ribs) and linebacker Von Miller (elbow) are both considered day-to-day with their respective injuries. Davis' injury is troubling, as he missed the first two weeks of last season with calf issues. Hopefully he'll be ready to go by Week 1, but it's not a sure thing. Losing the 28-year-old for any amount of time would be a blow to Denver's D, as Davis was the team's starting right inside linebacker in 2019 and accumulated a healthy 134 total tackles.
