Is Gabe Davis playing tonight? Bills' WR depth chart in focus for Week 12 with Keon Coleman question image

Gabriel "Gabe" Davis made his return to the Buffalo Bills' active roster for Week 11.

He hadn't suited up for Buffalo since 2023 after a foray to the Jaguars that ended prematurely with an injury.

But on Sunday, Davis was back, and especially important with Keon Coleman's surprise benching.

That brings us to Week 12, which in this case is only four days later for a Thursday Night Football game against the Houston Texans.

Is Gabe Davis playing tonight?

Gabe Davis is expected to be elevated from the practice squad again to play on Thursday night.

Reports have indicated Coleman will be out again. If that happens, Davis should see a hefty allotment of snaps again.

Davis was targeted four times by Josh Allen on Sunday. He caught three of them for 40 yards.

It's easy for it to feel like Davis must be old and washed up now. But he was with Buffalo as a solid player through 2023. He was expected to be good for the Jags before injuries won out.

This is a guy with still close to his full ability. He can still impact a game for the Bills. After all, he's Big Game Gabe.

So it would make sense for the Bills to keep playing him (especially with Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman already announced out). Davis may very well make a few plays while he's out there.
