Carlton Davis Unlikely To Play In Week 2

Carlton Davis Unlikely To Play In Week 2

one year ago

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that cornerback Carlton Davis (toe) "probably" won't play on Sunday in the Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears after missing practice again on Friday with a toe injury. Davis injured his toe in the Week 1 victory over the Minnesota Vikings and hasn't practiced at all this week, so the 26-year-old probably won't be on the field this weekend as the Bucs look to start their season 2-0. He led the team's defensive backs in snaps played in the season opener, so losing him for the Week 2 contest is notable for Tampa's defense. Davis' absence is good news for a Bears passing offense that looked out of sorts in the season opener.
