Since the Patriots initially signed cornerback Carlton Davis III in free agency earlier this year, there have been concerns about his injury history and how that might impact his availability this upcoming season.
Because he is considered a high-end cornerback and he will anchor the secondary along with Christian Gonzalez, it would be a massive loss for him to miss any time, which is why his absence from nearly all of spring practices brought on more concerns. Davis has been present over the past week for training camp, which is a positive sign for what the future might look like for the team's defense.
