Khalil

Davis

Bosa was able to work out prior to the contest and felt healthy enough during the pregame warmups. The 49ers will also get Dre Greenlaw for his season debut. With Bosa and Greenlaw back, the inactives for the Thursday Night Football contest are T Trent Williams, QB Joshua Dobbs, DL Khalil Davis, S Malik Mustapha, CB Rock-Ya Sin and RB Israel Abanikanda.

Whelming. Davis has played in all nine games as a rotational interior player for the Texans, though his snaps have been cut of late with Denico Autry healthy. The 49ers badly needed interior depth and paid a price for it. Perhaps one of the lowest prices one can pay in the NFL. The Texans held them to “not a pick swap” though.

Davis appeared in 15 games for the Texans last year and was on the field for just over 40 percent of the team’s defensive snaps in those contests. He picked up two sacks and six TFLs. A solid role-player for the team’s defensive front, Davis will return to Houston for his age-28 season.

It’s no surprise, since Brown was ruled out Saturday when he didn’t make the trip to LA with the Bucs. His absence will open up snaps and targets for Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson in what could be a high-scoring affair against the high-powered Rams.

Davis (6’1/308), the twin brother of Carlos Davis, was a one-year starter at Nebraska who earned third-team All-Big Ten honors by racking up 8.0 sacks and 11.0 TFLs as a 23-year-old redshirt senior. He moved all along the defensive line but was at his best when he could use his bend and class-leading speed (4.75-second 40-yard dash). His athleticism and motor are enough for Davis to land a roster spot in the NFL, but he needs to develop a pass-rushing plan to compete for starting snaps. Given his age and poor length, Davis profiles as an explosive depth option on passing downs.

Davis (6'1/308) shredded his way through the 40 in the fastest time (unofficial for now) of any interior defensive lineman testing on Saturday. His time was just .03 seconds slower than that which Wisconsin WR Quintez Cephus put up on Thursday. Davis is fast and also all kinds of strong, hoisting the bar 32 times on the bench press during earlier testing. NFL Media’s Lance Zierlein believes that Davis “has enough three-down talent to warrant consideration as a Day 3 pick and potential backup.”

That’s the second most reps of any defensive lineman in Indianapolis, trailing Ohio State’s DaVon Hamilton. Davis (6'1/308) is considered a Day 3 selection at this point, but at the very least, this will have teams looking further at Davis. There is a reason this event exists, after all.

Davis (6'2/315) joins teammate Carlos Davis as one of Nebraska’s two defensive linemen at the event. Though it took Davis a while to turn it on, he erupted as a senior, racking up 11 tackles for loss and eight sacks in his final year alone. Expect Davis to go undrafted, even with a solid performance at the Shrine Bowl.
