Davis was a limited participant all week, indicating that he could be ready to return following the extended time off ahead of Week 9.

Fantasy Impact

Vernon Davis has been ruled out for the second consecutive week due to a concussion. With Jordan Reed placed on IR, Jeremy Sprinkle is expected to soak up the majority of the tight end snaps. He disappointed with just 44 percent of the snaps in Week 5, but appears to have a prime matchup for production against a hapless Dolphins defense.

Washington tight end Vernon Davis is inactive for the team's Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots as he continues to work his way through the concussion protocol.

Tight end Vernon Davis has entered the league's concussion protocol, and is in danger of missing Week 5 against New England.

Fantasy Impact

Vernon Davis missing game action would mean Washington is down to its third string tight end in Jeremy Sprinkle. Sprinkle has just five receptions on the season, but could be in for a massive role against New England with Colt McCoy expected to be under center. He will make for a solid bye week filler addition if Davis misses any time.
