Carlton Davis - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Good to go for Week 11 Davis (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is expected to play.

Nursing hand injury Davis (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Although Davis wasn't listed on Wednesday's estimated injury report, it's possible that he may have injured his hand during the Lions' Week 10 win over the Texans. His practice participation Friday will give a better indication for his status against the Jaguars on Sunday. If Davis were unable to suit up, Khalil Dorsey and Kindle Vildor would be candidates to see increased snaps at corner with the Lions' first-team defense.

Ten tackles in team debut Davis recorded 10 total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-20 overtime victory versus the Rams.

The cornerback played 77 of the team's 78 total defensive snaps, missing his only snap after briefly getting hurt on a diving interception attempt in the fourth quarter.
