Through four games this season, all starts, Davis has made six tackles. He made a tackle for loss last week, his second of the season, in a narrow loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the 49ers are off to a 3-1 start, a rash of recent injuries has pundits speculating about how they'll perform over the next few weeks.
The 49ers play the Rams on Thursday night in Los Angeles on Prime Video. Kickoff is slated for 8:15 p.m. ET.
Shaquill Griffin - Seahawks - DB
Griffin appeared in Seattle's win over Pittsburgh on September 14, but has not seen the field since.

The Eagles placed him on injured reserve as a result. Hughlett did not miss a game in his first nine seasons in the NFL.

Prater and the Bills host their longtime rival New England Patriots in this week's Sunday Night Football slot. Kickoff is set for 8:20 p.m. on NBC and Peacock.
