Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis was activated off the team’s injured reserve on Friday after dealing with a calf injury, per the team’s Twitter.
Davis has not played since suffering the injury in Week 4 and is likely to return to action this Sunday as the Buccaneers travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. It’s a timely return as the team had just lost cornerback Jamel Dean to an elbow injury in this past week’s victory over the Indianapolis Colts. The return of Sean Murphy-Bunting a few weeks back means the secondary is finally getting healthy and may be able to field their cornerbacks at full strength in time for the postseason.
