Carlton Davis III Returns to Practice Ahead of Thursday

New England Patriots starting cornerback Carlton Davis III returned to practice as a limited participant on Tuesday after missing six practices and two consecutive games due to a neck injury. Davis was initially listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated report. Having recorded 16 tackles in his three prior appearances this season, his return provides a timely boost to the Patriots secondary as they prepare for a short-week matchup against the Chicago Bears on Thursday.
