Pats CB Carlton Davis III (concussion) back at practice

New England Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis III returned to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday as he looks to clear concussion protocol.

Head coach Mike Vrabel made the announcement as his Patriots prepare to visit the Denver Broncos on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game.

Davis sustained a head injury during the fourth quarter of last weekend's 28-16 divisional-round victory against the Houston Texans. He intercepted two passes and made four tackles before the injury.

Davis, 29, joined the Patriots on a three-year, $54 million deal in March. He has started all 17 regular season games and both playoff games so far, forming a strong pairing with Pro Bowl cornerback Christian Gonzalez.

During the regular season, Davis delivered a career-best 69 tackles and 10 passes defensed. He has 11 interceptions and 449 tackles in 106 career games (105 starts) with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2018-23), Detroit Lions (2024) and Patriots. The 2018 second-round pick won Super Bowl LV with the Bucs.'
