The Buccaneers have designated Davis (quadriceps) to return from IR, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Davis has missed six straight games due to a quadriceps injury suffered Week 4, but his 21-day window to resume practicing will now open. Tampa Bay has been consistent in taking a cautious approach to Davis' recovery, which is reasonable considering his value in the secondary, but it's possible that the young cornerback could be back in action as early as Sunday's road matchup against the Colts.
