Where did you see he missed last week because of a concussion?

Andy Reid said it was a coaches decision for him not to play.

Here’s injury reports leading up to game, I just assumed. In hindsight, if Davis practiced last week,and Z2C's link shows he did, then he was probably was held out of the Oak. game because Ted came a callin.’

Chiefs | Week 6 inactives for Chiefs (Sun Oct 16, 02:45 PM) - The Kansas City Chiefs have declared OT Bryan Witzmann, OG Jordan Devey, CB Kenneth Acker, RB Knile Davis, TE Ross Travis, LB Sio Moore, QB Tyler Bray inactive for Week 6.

Chiefs | Friday injury report for Chiefs (Fri Oct 14, 08:06 PM) - Kansas City Chiefs LB Tamba Hali (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 14, but is not on the injury report for Week 6. RB Knile Davis (concussion), CB Phillip Gaines (knee), LB Sio Moore (illness) and OT Jah Reid (knee) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Chiefs | Thursday practice report for Chiefs (Thu Oct 13, 06:59 PM) - Kansas City Chiefs LB Tamba Hali (knee) was limited in practice Thursday, Oct. 13. RB Knile Davis (concussion), CB Phillip Gaines (knee), LB Sio Moore (illness) and OT Jah Reid (knee) participated fully.

I like that the Packers are being proactive in improving the roster considering how beat up they are at RB. A 7th round pick isn't much if he can help stabilize the backfield.

All that being said I know virtually nothing about the guy but he's a former 3rd round pick so obviously some people think he has/had talent.

In the 2013 draft, Chiefs got Comp pick #96 for CB Derek Carr and had #99 and #134. GB had pick #88, traded down to #93 and traded down again to #109 and picked Bahkteiri there. GB also had picks at #122 [Tretter] and #125 [Franklin].

Dorsey probably knew Ted was looking for a RB with one of those 3 4th rounders and knew Knile was a target. If he didnt get Knile with #96 or #99, he'd not get him. Dorsey inherited Ted's ideal that RBs are a dime a dozen as he has not drafted one since. Yet, given he already had Charles; Dorsey thought Davis was special enough to warrant a 3rd rounder. We also know GB scouting dept thought highly of Davis or Dorsey would have never drafted him at #96

Maybe this will be history sort of repeating:

Dorsey and Ted had front row seats for the Ahman Green trade from Seattle in 2000. IN '98 Dorsey, director of player personel, was in Seattle's war room when Green was drafted. Then in 2000 both Dorsey and Green went to GB. Dorsey resigned from Seattle before the 2000 draft. During the draft [April 15] GB traded for Green and gave up Fred Vinson. Though Dorsey wasn't hired by GB until May 8, 2000, in April Dorsey surely was in contract negotiations with GB and probably was consulted with about Green. Also in 2000, Ted left GB to became Seattle's VP of football operations. He undoubtedly had input into trading Green for CB Vinson, though Holmgren was the GM. In hindsight, we know Dorsey Fleeced Ted on that trade-Big time!

Like Davis: in 30 games with Seattle in '98-99 Green, a real speedster, had 51 rushes for 329 and 1 TD, with 3 Fumbles. So, he was also unproductive [though his average was 6+] and couldn't hold on to the ball either. Hopefully, the Davis trade is just like the Green trade except this time the score will be evened: Ted will fleece Dorsey.

I'm sure Ted could and did ask Dorsey and Dorsey would honestly reply if he thought Davis might benefit from a change of scenery or was a worthless tool. And if Davis does becomes Green, Dorsey will be glad he's not in AFC.

The trade is little to no risk and Davis surely has a ton of upside. If Davis does well and GB cant resign him; Ted will probably recoup the pick he loses to KC with a comp pick.

Sounds great, if we can keep him healthy. This team isn't known for it's great training staff. 🤣

nfl combine 

Strengths Big-bodied north-south runner. Has a thick lower-body build and runs with enough forward lean to run through arm tackles. Agile enough to spin off tackles inside and hurdle would-be tacklers in the open field. Can use the strength he builds in the weight room to be a physical pass protector, aware enough to hit multiple targets. Provides some receiving skills as a check-down option over the middle and handling good throws in the flat.

Weaknesses Has a long injury history, missing time or playing hurt in every season of his college career, in addition to the final two years of his of his high school career. Runs a bit top-heavy, gets tripped up easily in space, especially before he gets his head of steam. Inconsistent taking on tacklers at the second level, will try to run around them instead of using his strength. Inconsistent protecting his quarterback, resorts to (and misses) cut blocks. Lack of hip flexibility hurts his ability to adjust to poor throws as a receiver. Was unable to display adequete foot quickness in his final season.
NFL Comparison Corey Dillon

Bottom Line Davis is a bruising back who has struggled with injuries since high school, lost his entire 2011 season due to a broken ankle, and failed to look like the same player in 2012 as he was in 2010. In 2010, Davis sparked the Razorbacks with an impressive late-season surge when he led SEC with 1,322 rushing yards, 13 scores. His power and burst in the open field make him tough to stop when all his parts are in working order; but this has proved to be a struggle for Davis.

I'm been disappointed that with all his physical talent and speed that he hasn't been able to do more... but maybe a new place will help. Also maybe spreading the offense out more?

Though I have to admit that I can't understand why they didn't use Rip as a RB against the Cowboys... like Kuhn was the backup RB when he was here.

Well....considering we have NO running back, they HAD to do SOMETHING.
I know nothing about the guy, but he has to be better then Ty Montgomery in the backfield.

He had a few flashes filling in for Jamal Charles for a few games in 2014 Everyone thought he would be the primary backup last year and he lost that job to Charcandrick West. This year is Spencer Ware's turn and the Chiefs may have finally found Charles' replacement. Until this year at least the backup RB in KC was not going to get a chance to really showcase his talents as long was Charles is healthy.

For what we had to give up I'm fine with it. We can't keep lining up WRs in the RB spot. They are fine to throw to out of the backfield but I don't really want to see Cobb or Montgomery getting 15 + carries a game and IMO we need a true RB who can give us that. I'm not sure if Davis will be that guy but IMO it a no lose situation.

Yes, especially considering what that conditional is on the conditional pick. On some of the conditional 7th round picks it's possible the team won't have to give up anything at all. So it's possible the Packers traded away nothing to the Chiefs, depending on the condition.

Also something I found really interesting was that it was a 2018 7th round pick... and not a 2017... (if the report I read was correct). Could the condition be if Davis play for the Packers in 2017? Which would be interesting because he's a FA... or if he starts so many games or snaps for the Packers?
