Rotowire
Davis was able to avoid an Achilles tear when he injured list left leg during Tuesday's practice but is expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Davis went down with a non-contact injury Tuesday and was seen leaving the team's facilities with a boot on his left leg. Fortunately for the Dolphins, imaging delivered the good news that Davis didn't suffer a season-ending injury. He'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of the injury and a timeline for his return, but it appears he'll be out of action for the foreseeable future and will likely miss the Dolphins' preseason opener against the Bears on Aug. 10. The absences of Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu (undisclosed) give Dante Trader, Elijah Campbell and Patrick McMorris the opportunity to get reps with the first-team defense alongside Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Rotowire
Davis had six tackles (four solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 30-0 loss to the Dolphins. He also rushed once for minus-1 yard.
The speedy Davis has had a couple of nice special-teams plays for the Jets this season, but the Dolphins sniffed out New York's fake punt and stuffed Davis in the first half. The score was only 7-0 at the time, but the failed fake punt took the air out of the Jets' sails. On the bright side, Davis set a new season high in tackles.

Jets' Ashtyn Davis: No injury designation
Rotowire
Davis doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Davis logged a full practice Friday after being limited in each of the first two sessions ahead of Week 8 and is expected to be available after missing Week 7 due to a hamstring injury.

Jets' Ashtyn Davis: Playing every-down role
Rotowire
Davis recorded five tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed in Monday's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.
Davis also had a sack wiped out by an egregious roughing the passer penalty. The rookie safety has blossomed nicely since returning from an early-season groin injury, as Davis has played 100 percent of defensive snaps in each of the last two games while displaying a nice combination of coverage ability and physicality. His full-time role on defense has led to Davis' removal from New York's kick returner role, which now belongs to wide receiver Braxton Berrios.
