Patriots vs. Bears Tuesday injury report: Carlton Davis III returns, leaving three non-participants

New England Patriots starting cornerback Carlton Davis III returned to practice as a limited participant on Tuesday ahead of Week 7's matchup against the Chicago Bears. Davis had missed six practices and two consecutive games due to a neck injury. His return leaves only three non-participants on New England's injury report: left guard Alijah Vera-Tucker, right guard Ben Brown, and defensive tackle Joshua Farmer.

Head coach Mike Vrabel indicated that Vera-Tucker and Brown will "probably not" play on Thursday night. Offensive tackle Morgan Moses and wide receiver A.J. Brown were among those listed as limited participants, while nine players logged full participation, including quarterback Drake Maye and offensive tackle Marcus Bryant.
