Packers re-sign TE and core special teamer Tyler Davis
The Green Bay Packers re-signed tight end and special teamer Tyler Davis, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.
Financial details were not immediately available. Last year, Davis returned on a one-year deal but tore his ACL during the preseason and missed the 2023 season. Per Demovsky, Davis is expected to be back before the start of training camp.
Davis played in 31 games for the Packers between the 2021 and 2022 seasons, catching eight passes for 61 yards and making 15 total tackles.
Davis was on the field for 232 special teams snaps in 2021, and he led the team with 346 special teams snaps in 2022. Davis appeared on five special teams groups: kickoff return, kickoff coverage, punt return, punt coverage and field goals. He played 295 snaps on offense, mostly as a run or pass blocker (212).
“Whether it’s on teams or carving out a role on our offense, he’s the consummate professional. Great teammate, great human,” coach Matt LaFleur said after Davis suffered his injury last August.
The Packers are in good shape at tight end with Luke Musgrave, Tucker Kraft and Ben Sims all returning after an encouraging first season together as rookies in 2023. Davis could compete to make the roster as a fourth option and special teamer.
