As of now, there is no verified information indicating that Detroit Lions cornerback Carlton Davis has announced a transfer following the team’s recent playoff loss to the Washington Commanders. The game took place on January 18, 2025, with the Lions falling to the Commanders with a final score of 45-31.
Carlton Davis has been a significant contributor to the Lions’ defense since being acquired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March 2024. The trade involved the Lions receiving Davis along with 2024 and 2025 sixth-round draft picks, while the Buccaneers obtained a 2024 third-round pick in return.
During the 2024 season, Davis played a crucial role in strengthening the Lions’ secondary. However, in a Week 15 game against the Buffalo Bills, he suffered a fractured jaw, which was expected to sideline him for six weeks, potentially until the NFC Championship game. Prior to this injury, Davis had recorded two interceptions, 11 passes defended, a forced fumble, and two fumble recoveries. On January 7, 2025, head coach Dan Campbell announced that Davis would miss the remainder of the season due to this injury.
As of January 27, 2025, there have been no official announcements from Carlton Davis or the Detroit Lions regarding his departure or transfer from the team. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it is advisable to consult official team communications or reputable sports news outlets.
