‘Injury prone is not a tag any athlete wants. It’s also one that Davis has largely avoided. From 2013-16 with the Colts, he missed a total of three games. That changed in 2017, though, when he appeared in just five games before a groin injury that required surgery ended his season. That led to a rocky breakup with the Colts, who insinuated Davis was healthy enough to play when he thought otherwise. That’s a part of the reason he’s so anxious to turn the page on last year.’

Jay Skurski’s Bills Mailbag: Is there another trade to be made with the Bengals?
‘A more realistic scenario would be targeting one of the Bengals’ younger receivers in a trade. We’ve seen the two franchises make one deal already this offseason, when Cordy Glenn was traded to Cincinnati as part of a deal for the Bills to move up in the first round. Cincinnati has ample depth at receiver behind Green and veteran Brandon LaFell. Maybe Tyler Boyd, the receiver who scored the touchdown that beat the Ravens and sent the Bills to the playoffs, could be an option. Of course, the Bills could also wait and see who gets squeezed off the roster at final cuts and try to make a waiver claim, thus not having to give up anything in a trade.’

‘On whether he feels slighted after falling to the third round of the NFL draft: “The chip on my shoulder might be there. I’ll always have a chip on my shoulder, but it’s not to prove the other 31 teams wrong. I’m not sitting there saying, ‘Oh these guys had the 32nd pick and they didn’t pick me. These guys had the 41st pick and didn’t pick me.’ It’s not like that. It’s just that I feel like I don’t want to prove the other 31 teams wrong. I want to prove Buffalo right. They were the team that picked me, so I want to make them look like geniuses.”‘
