Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott confirmed today that running back Ray Davis is still in concussion protocol following an injury sustained during last week’s game. The team is closely monitoring Davis’ progress as he undergoes the NFL’s stringent return-to-play process.
“Ray is working through the protocol right now,” McDermott stated during a press conference. “We’re going to follow the steps laid out by our medical staff and the league. His health and safety are our top priorities.”
The timeline for Davis’ return remains uncertain as the concussion protocol requires players to pass a series of evaluations before being cleared for full participation. These include symptom-free rest, graduated physical activity, and final clearance from an independent neurological consultant.
Davis’ absence leaves the Bills relying heavily on their running back depth chart, with Devin Singletary and James Cook expected to share the load in upcoming games. The team is preparing for their matchup against the Miami Dolphins this Sunday, a critical game in their playoff push.
The rookie running back has been a vital part of the Bills’ offense this season, showcasing his versatility as both a runner and a pass-catcher. His presence on the field has provided balance to the team’s high-powered attack led by quarterback Josh Allen.
Fans and teammates alike are hopeful for a speedy recovery, but the organization’s cautious approach underscores the growing emphasis on player safety within the league.
Stay tuned for updates on Ray Davis’ status as the Buffalo Bills gear up for a pivotal stretch of their season.
