The move opens a 21-day practice window during which the 49ers will be allowed to activate him, or he'll revert to the IR for the rest of the season.

The twenty-four-year-old rookie was the 49ers' sixth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Once healthy, Davis will give the team some added depth at defensive tackle behind Akeem Spence and T.Y. McGill.
