Davis (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is expected to play.
Davis missed some practice reps earlier in the week but is good to go Sunday. He's coming off a two-interception game in the Lions' come-from-behind win over the Texans last week. Davis figures to see plenty of rookie Brian Thomas in this matchup.

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

Lions' Carlton Davis: Active versus Vikings
Rotowire
Davis (quadriceps) is available to play in Sunday's matchup with the Vikings.
After logging DNPs in consecutive days to begin Detroit's week of practice, Davis upgraded to full practice Friday and subsequently drew a questionable designation. Barring any setbacks, he should take on his usual workload at cornerback opposite Terrion Arnold.

Lions' Carlton Davis: Could play in Week 7
Rotowire
Davis (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Davis upgraded to full practice Friday after logging consecutive DNPs to begin Detroit's week of practice, suggesting he's trending towards playing Sunday. The first-year Lion was already able to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol Monday after sustaining the head injury in the Week 6 win over the Cowboys, so the leg injury is the sole factor that could prevent him from suiting up in Sunday's divisional clash. If Davis is ultimately unable to do so, expect Khalil Dorsey to see increased work in the Lions' secondary.

Lions' Carlton Davis: Clears protocol
Rotowire
Davis (head) cleared concussion protocol Monday, Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net reports.
Davis played 34 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles and two passes defended before exiting Sunday's win over the Cowboys with a head injury. However, it appears the first-year Lion has already moved through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and is not expected to miss any time.

Lions' Carlton Davis: Lands on NFI list
Rotowire
The Lions placed Davis (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday.
Both the nature and extent of Davis' injury are currently unknown, but the 27-year-old is still eligible to practice and play at any point in the preseason, despite his placement on the active/non-football injury list. Davis is entering his first season in Detroit after spending the last six years of his career in Tampa Bay, and he's expected to step in and immediately be a major contributor in the Lions' secondary.

Lions' Carlton Davis: Traded to Detroit
Rotowire
The Buccaneers are trading Davis to the Lions, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Detroit gets an experienced starter to address the obvious weak point of an otherwise stellar roster. The Bucs probably won't get much in return; for them, the appeal largely comes from avoiding more than $14 million in non-guaranteed payments scheduled for Davis in 2024 (after the recent re-signings of QB Baker Mayfield and WR Mike Evans). The 27-year-old Davis has played between 10 and 14 games each season since the Bucs took him in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, starting 75 of his 76 regular-season appearances while averaging 54 tackles, 12.2 pass defenses, 1.5 interceptions, 0.5 forced fumbles and 0.7 fumble recoveries per season.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Questionable to play at Carolina
Rotowire
Davis (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Carolina.
Davis was a full participant at practice Thursday and Friday, but it's possible there are still outstanding steps for him to clear league concussion protocol. If he can't suit up in Week 18, Christian Izien could see more snaps as a result.

Rotowire
Davis (hip) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Could play Week 12
Rotowire
Davis (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.
The sixth-year cornerback out of Auburn suffered a hip injury during the Buccaneers' Week 11 loss to the 49ers, but he was able to log a week of limited practice sessions, and he has a chance to play Sunday. If Davis were to miss Week 12, Zyon McCollum would likely get the start in Tampa Bay's secondary.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Limited by hip injury
Rotowire
Davis (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
It sounds like Davis avoided a serious injury after he was forced to exit last week's loss to the 49ers. He underwent an MRI earlier in the week. With Jamel Dean (ankle) banged up and absent Wednesday, the Bucs really need Davis to play Sunday against the Colts.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Out for remainder of game
Rotowire
Davis has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 49ers due to a hip injury, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Davis recorded a solo tackle prior to his departure, but he'll be forced to miss most of the second half due to a hip issue. He missed last week's game due to a toe injury, and it's unclear whether his hip injury will impact his availability for next Sunday's game against Indianapolis.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Will be game-day decision
Rotowire
Head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Davis (toe) will be listed as questionable and considered a game-day decision for Sunday's matchup with the Titans, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
Davis appears to have recently aggravated the toe injury that forced him to miss two games earlier this season, putting him in jeopardy of sitting out Sunday's contest. His status may not be solidified until Tampa Bay releases its inactive list 90 minutes before the 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Davis missed Wednesday's practice due to a toe injury.
Davis popped up on Tampa Bay's injury report Wednesday with a toe injury, the same injury that caused him to miss two games early in the season. If the 2018 second-round pick is unable to suit up against the Titans on Sunday, the Buccaneers could be in danger of being without both starting corners, as Jamel Dean is still in the concussion protocol.

Buccaneers' Carlton Davis: Participates in full
Rotowire
Davis (toe) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
It seems as if Tampa Bay's top corner has moved past his toe issue after participating in a limited fashion during Wednesday's practice following a second consecutive absence in Monday night's Week 3 loss to the Eagles. Davis will help solidify a secondary that could be without cornerback Jamel Dean (neck) this coming Sunday against the Saints.
