• On Wednesday in Eagan, Minnesota, he participated in team periods during joint practice with the Vikings and declared “hell yeah” when asked about Week 1 readiness
• The veteran cornerback declined to specify his injury, saying he’s “dealing with something” and taking a cautious, step-by-step approach to avoid setbacks
• Vrabel stressed a day-to-day recovery model and refused to speculate on Davis’s status for the season opener against the Raiders
• New England’s secondary depth has been tested by Christian Gonzalez’s hamstring issue and other cornerback injuries, heightening the importance of Davis’s return
