Jordan Davis

Davis is still a candidate to be limited in practice this week, but it doesn’t look like this injury is a major threat to send him to injured reserve or anything like that. Talking with the media after the game is a good sign for his future ability.

Jordan Davis was at the bottom of a pile on a 3rd-down run in the fourth quarter and remained down on the field. He was slow to get up and did leave the field under his own power, but he was moving very gingerly as he walked into the locker room. It’s unclear right now if the injury is to his ankle or his knee, but we should get an update after the game.

The deal includes a whopping $65 million in guaranteed money. Davis is now tied to the Eagles through the 2029 season after becoming the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history with the extension. The former No. 13 overall pick in 2022 notched the second most solo tackles in 2025 amongst defensive linemen and also contributed five sacks.

Davis now tips the scales at 330 pounds. This is the lightest he’s been since his sophomore year at Georgia, per PHLY Eagles’ Zach Berman. Davis has functioned as a rotational player since the Eagles drafted him in the 2022 NFL Draft’s first round. A well-conditioned Davis on the field for all three downs could take a step forward in his fourth season.

After Eagles general manager Howie Roseman declined to say whether the team would pick up Davis’ option just two weeks prior, the team made the call after Davis played his second straight 17-game season for the dominant Philly front seven. Davis, who has 3.5 sacks and five tackles for loss over his past two seasons, was graded by Pro Football Focus as 2024’s 40th-best defensive tackle. He will make $12.9 million in the 2026 season.

“The absence of a decision on Davis logically suggests the Eagles are still weighing their options ahead of the May 1 deadline,” writes The Athletic’s Brooks Kubena. Perhaps the Eagles are leaving their options open because of certain draft scenarios, but Davis has been a fine rotational player for the Eagles in his first three seasons. Davis has generated a 70.9 or better PFF grade in all three of his seasons to date, but has yet to play more than 561 snaps for the Eagles.
