New England Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis III intends to play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, which will provide a significant boost to the team's secondary for the matchup.
Davis has been a full participant in practice throughout the week after dealing with a neck injury that kept him out for the last three weeks, which serves as an encouraging sign regarding his potential availability. Despite his consistent participation, he is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game. However, all indications suggest that Davis is trending toward taking the field against Miami.
The veteran Davis has appeared in three games this season and has recorded 16 total tackles, as well as a pass deflection and a tackle for loss.
Davis' potential return
would give New England another experienced option in the secondary for an important divisional matchup. His coverage ability and physical presence will be particularly valuable in this matchup against a Dolphins team that has struggled to pass the ball.
His availability would help the Patriots limit Miami's opportunities downfield and provide greater stability at cornerback as the team looks to improve to 5-3 with a win.
