Malik Davis Plays Monday; Blue Sidelined

In a notable roster adjustment, Malik Davis will be active for Monday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals. This decision comes as fellow running back Jaydon Blue is sidelined due to the coach’s choice.

Roster Changes and Impacts

Davis has been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster. He will join Hunter Luepke as the backup running backs for starter Javonte Williams.

Blue’s Inactive Status

Jaydon Blue’s inactivity stems from a poor performance in Week 8, where he lost a fumble in the loss against the Denver Broncos. This decision indicates that coaching staff may be prioritizing performance and reliability on the field.

Davis’s Season Overview

  • Malik Davis has had limited action this season.
  • He has recorded just two carries for a total of three yards.
  • Davis is expected to see minimal opportunities in Week 9 against the Cardinals.

While Davis will be taking the field, his role is unlikely to significantly impact Williams’ workload as the primary running back, particularly in this upcoming game.
