FOXBORO — The New England Patriots will be without the services of one of their best coverage specialists for at least the next four games.
The Pats announced the placement of defensive back and special teamer Cody Davis on injured reserve, as confirmed by Tuesday’s NFL transaction wire.
Davis, a nine-year NFL veteran, has played in six games with the Pats in 2022, leading the team with six special teams tackles. He currently ranks third on the team in special teams snaps having logged 106 to date.
Despite being officially listed as a safety, Davis is one of the team’s most valuable special teamers, serving as New England’s personal punt protector.
