What happened: The defensive back was unable to finish after suffering the injury during the contest. New England also adjusted the offensive line, shifting Ben Brown to left guard to stabilize pass protection for Drake Maye.

Why it matters: Losing Davis strains the secondary depth, making defensive continuity critical going forward. Meanwhile, offensive line stability remains vital to keep Maye upright after sustained pressure.

What to watch: Head coach Mike Vrabel will provide further roster and injury updates.
