Carlton Davis III - Busy in return to action Davis (quadriceps) recorded three tackles (two solo) and defensed three passes in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons in Week 13.
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.

Vita Vea - Rare two-sack effort Vea (knee) recorded two solo tackles -- both sacks -- and was credited with an additional quarterback hit in the Buccaneers' 30-17 win over the Falcons in Week 13.
Impact The mammoth defensive tackle is much more renowned for his run-stopping ability than pass-rushing prowess, but he was able to bring down Matt Ryan twice Sunday. It was the first multi-sack game of Vea's career and pushed his season sack total to three overall, tying the career high he'd set in his 2018 rookie campaign. Despite the unlikely statistical surge against Atlanta, Vea remains mostly off the IDP radar due to his modest tackle numbers.

Justin Watson - Cleared to practice Watson (knee) was designated to return from the reserve/PUP list Wednesday.
Impact Coach Bruce Arians said Monday that he didn't expect Watson to return to the field in 2021, but he'll now be able to join the team for practice. If the receiver isn't activated from the PUP list within 21 days, he'll be forced to miss the remainder of the season.

Richard Sherman - Designated to return Sherman (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Coach Bruce Arians indicated Monday that Sherman could be activated from injured reserve soon, and he'll now be able to rejoin the Buccaneers for practice. A clear timetable for his return to game action hasn't yet been established, but he'll need to be activated within 21 days if he hopes to return this season.
