CARLTON DAVIS NEWS

Dealing with injury Davis (hip) was listed as a limited participant on the Buccaneers' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Davis appears to have picked up an unspecified hip issue at some point during his nine-tackle performance during last Sunday's 20-10 win over the Saints. The 25-year-old has had difficulties staying healthy in the past, as he has missed 14 regular-season games over the past four years. Davis also sat out seven weeks last season due to unrelated quadriceps and back injuries, so it is possible that Tampa Bay's coaching staff is simply handling the starting cornerback with extra precaution approaching the team's Week 3 matchup against Green Bay.

Racks up tackles in Week 2 win Davis posted nine tackles (eight solo), a defensed pass and a fumble recovery in the Buccaneers' 20-10 win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact The veteran cornerback was busy throughout the day, checking in second in tackles only to Devin White. Davis' recovery of a Mark Ingram fumble just inside the Buccaneers' 10-yard line late in the third quarter also was critical, considering the game was still tied 3-3 at the time. The 25-year-old has produced a pair of 60-tackle tallies in 14-game campaigns in the past, and with 14 stops through two games, he appears to be well on his way to blowing past those numbers if he can stay healthy.

Cleared for postseason opener Davis (back) is active for Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles.

Impact Davis was added to the Buccaneers' injury report Friday after he was limited in practice due to the back issue, but he showed enough progress in his recovery for the training staff to clear him leading up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Tampa Bay's top cornerback appeared in 10 games during the regular season, finishing with 39 tackles, 11 pass breakups and one interception.

Impact Davis' eight tackles were his most since registering a season-high nine in Week 2. The 25-year-old's lack of turnovers and sacks this season has limited his fantasy potential, but when healthy, he's an integral part of the Buccaneers' defense, so he should remain on fantasy radars in deeper IDP leagues.

Impact Davis was activated from injured reserve Friday and made an instant impact just 48 hours later while playing on all but one of Tampa Bay's 71 snaps. The return of the ball-hawking fourth-year corner, coupled with the seemingly imminent return of Richard Sherman (calf), leaves the Buccaneers poised to be healthy at a key position down the stretch.
