Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabriel Davis is out for the season after suffering a meniscus tear in his left knee during Sunday’s game, head coach Doug Pederson said Monday.
“I hate it for him,” Pederson told reporters.
NFL Network reported earlier Monday that Davis was expected to undergo surgery, during which doctors would determine whether to do a full repair or trim, per the report. A full repair would end Davis’ season. He left the locker room Sunday on crutches with his left leg in a brace.
Davis had one catch for three yards in the Jags’ 52-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Davis, 25, has 20 catches for 239 yards and two touchdowns in 10 games (nine starts) this season, his first in Jacksonville.
Davis signed a three-year, $39 million contract with the Jaguars in March. A fourth-round pick in 2020, Davis caught 163 passes for 2,730 yards and 27 touchdowns in 64 games (47 starts) in four seasons with the Bills.
The Jags, losers of four straight, head into their bye week at 2-9 amid reports that Pederson and general manager Trent Baalke could be fired.
