Is Patriots Key Defensive Starter Playing Against Dolphins? Injury News Disclosed

The New England Patriots are getting a starting cornerback back for their AFC East matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Carlton Davis III is officially active Sunday, Nov. 1, ending a three-game absence caused by a neck injury. Patriots.com’s Evan Lazar confirmed Davis’ availability in his game-day analysis, giving New England a welcome defensive reinforcement as its offense deals with several absences. Davis’ return also gives the Patriots a chance to put their preferred cornerback combination on the field after injuries repeatedly disrupted that group through the opening seven games.
