Kevin Patra graded all trade deadline moves and awarded the 49ers' acquisition of Davis a C+. "The Niners beefed up their interior defensive line by adding Davis to the rotation... Davis isn't a game-tilter but gives the Niners depth for a low cost." Patra explains that the 49ers needed added support with key players injured, specifically highlighting the importance of bolstering the defensive line amid struggles against the run this season.
Davis registered nine tackles (including four for a loss), two quarterback hits, and a sack, playing 32 percent of the defensive snaps before being traded to the 49ers for a 2026 seventh-round pick. The Texans moved Davis to free up a spot following anticipated player returns from suspension, indicating that acquiring him was also a strategic decision for Houston.
