Limited in Wednesday's practice Davis (groin) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact After injuring his groin during Week 15's game against Atlanta, Davis missed the last two regular-season games and has been inconsistent in practicing since. The 24-year-old was able to battle through his injury in last week's wild-card win, and can hopefully do the same for Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Saints.

Co-leads team in tackles Davis (groin) supplied nine tackles (eight solo) and defensed two passes in the Buccaneers' 31-23 wild-card win over Washington on Saturday night.

Impact The third-year cornerback was able to battle through his groin issue to co-lead the team in tackles for the night alongside linebacker Lavonte David. The 24-year-old struggled at times in coverage this past season, but he also once again proved to be a sure tackler with 68 stops (52 solo) over 14 games. That skill was evident again Saturday night, and with Michael Thomas and a talented array of other offensive weapons on tap in next Sunday evening's divisional-round matchup versus the Saints, Davis could be in for another busy outing.

Upgrades to limited practice Davis (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Davis began the week as a non-participant, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in even a limited capacity. After closing out the regular season with back-to-back missed games, the starting safety can't be considered a lock to return for Saturday's wild-catch matchup in Washington. He'll have one more chance to upgrade his practice reps before the Buccaneers assign him a game-day injury designation.

Sitting down for Week 17 Davis (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Impact Tampa Bay can lock up the NFC's No. 5 seed with a win over Atlanta on Sunday, though its defense will have to proceed devoid of its top cornerback for the NFC South clash. Davis submitted limited practices Wednesday and Friday, sandwiched by a missed session Thursday, and he was considered doubtful coming into the weekend. Week 17 will mark a second consecutive absence for Davis to close out the regular season, but he'll aim to rebound in time for a road playoff game Jan. 9 or 10.

Logs limited session Davis (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Davis missed a trio of practices last week before being forced to sit out versus the Lions, so it's encouraging to see him now handling at least limited reps.
