The Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting free agent wide receiver Gabe Davis for a visit, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. This is the second visit that Davis will have with the Steelers after coming to the team facility in June.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says health is the issue with Davis, as he is coming off knee surgery in November. He suffered a torn meniscus, which still has to heal in his left knee. In addition, he had suffered a PCL sprain in January 2024, adding some more concern to that knee.
The Jaguars released Davis with a failed physical designation. That clearly spells out that Davis is not healthy to practice right now, and there would be little to use for signing him.
In just ten games in 2024, Davis caught 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns. That was enough for the Jaguars to cut him just one year into a three-year, $39 million deal.
His 2024 was far better, amassing 746 yards in 17 games on 46 receptions. His career year came in 2023, when Davis posted 836 yards and seven touchdowns on 48 receptions.
He torched the Steelers as a downfield threat in the Buffalo Bills’ offense before with Josh Allen, including a 98-yard touchdown.
Wide receivers Calvin Austin III and Ben Skowronek are battling injuries, which also could be the impetus for the team’s pursuit of Davis.
