Davis (shoulder) was placed on the injured reserve list Friday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
The 29-year-old from BYU sustained a shoulder injury in the Week 17 win over the Titans and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's no surprise he's shifted to IR. Davis finished his 2025 campaign with four total tackles across 11 appearances while primarily contributing on special teams (eight snaps on defense, 113 on special teams).

Chargers' Michael Davis: In action for OTAs
Rotowire
Davis participated in the first of the Chargers' 10 voluntary OTAs on Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Davis suffered a pectoral injury in the Chargers' wild-card loss to the Jaguars last season and was unable to return to the game. However, the cornerback appears to be fully recovered from the issue as he is participating in OTAs this week. As long as he remains healthy, Davis should have a significant role in the team's secondary for the 2023 campaign.

Davis (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Chargers' Michael Davis: Week 12 status up in the air
Rotowire
Davis (knee) is listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Cardinals, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Davis picked up a knee injury while defending a pass during practice, leaving him limited during Thursday's and Friday's sessions, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. While the severity of the issue is still unclear, Chargers coach Brandon Staley said he still expects the cornerback to play in Sunday's game versus Arizona, per Popper. Davis has recorded 16 tackles and one pass defended after stepping into a starting role over the past three games, and his absence would likely leave Bryce Callahan to slot in opposite cornerback Asante Samuel in Week 12.

Chargers' Michael Davis: Doubtful for Week 2
Rotowire
Davis (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Lions.
Davis suffered this injury during the season opener versus the Colts after just five snaps and didn't return. Davis didn't participate in practice all week, either, confirming it's unlikely he plays in Sunday's contest. The Chargers are clearly hindered at cornerback, as starter Trevor Williams (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday. Expect Brandon Facyson and Desmond King to see heavy usage if Davis sits out.
