Jaguars starting wide receiver Gabe Davis is believed to have suffered a meniscus tear in Jacksonville’s 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 11, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday.
Davis is expected to undergo surgery to treat the injury, per Rapoport, although it is currently unclear if a partial or full repair will be necessary. The former would leave the door open for Davis to return to play this season; the latter would likely end his campaign.
Davis signed a three-year, $39 million free-agent contract with the Jaguars this offseason after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills.
He has played through nagging knee and shoulder injuries in his first season with the Jaguars, having missed only one game but exited multiple through Week 11.
Davis has logged 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns with Jacksonville, bringing his career totals to 163 catches for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns.
